Is this for the bike and training wheels - or just the training wheels? ($127.92) --- I'm a mom of a boy - and I know nothing about these things!

It is just the training wheels. For a good Honda or other name bike used plan on spending about $1,000. You can find them for cheaper but they usually need lots of work and don't buy the knockoff Chinese bikes. Stick with Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, or KTM.

They work great. My 5 year old grandson uses them on his 50 motorcycle. They are to give an added balance as they learn. They do not always touch on both sides.

We bought training wheels- they are not included with this bike. The ones we got were easy to install.

I would suggest you to skip this idea. Training or supporting wheels are not helpful at all. The problem is, that the kids will loose theire sense for balance by using this wheels and need more time to bike "free". Try to train first without the pedals (support by pushing), so your child learns to balance the bike with the handlebar and the body. If the bike was used before as a training bike without the pedals the know it already. The kids learn "pedaling" quite fast.

Michael, I can tell you the bike is about 85% to 90% assembled. You will have to put the seats in, the handlebars on, and the front tire on, and screw in the pedals, but other than that, it comes as one piece. Without knowing how your child seat mounts, I can't say about that. Look at the expanded photo and make that call. What I can tell you is that having never ridden one of these before, my wife and I have had to learn how not to fight each other when trying to balance. Each "correction" she makes, throws off my balance. Adding a child seat to that mix would make me nervous. You might consider one of those trailer addons that hook on to the seat pole and ride behind the rear wheel. Michael, I can tell you the bike is about 85% to 90% assembled.

I would assume so, as training wheels can be added to pretty much any bike - just a matter of adjusting them after installing on the axle. I got this bike as the next step in moving daughter off of training wheels, so I'm going to try the balance buddy instead with it.

Your son is ready for a 10"-12"(tires) traditional bike with training wheels. Our grandson loves his ybike(blue) at age 2. Your son is too advanced for the ybike and a traditional bike is a lot more cool! He will thank you many times over!

I bought this bike for my then 7 y/o daughter. She had moved up from a bike that required training wheels. I would recommend a smaller bike that comes with training wheels before purchasing this one.

I have this bike on order and spoke to a sales rep for Prodeco before purchasing and asked him the same question. He said they're available from them for $22 ($12 + $10/shipping). You might want to call Prodeco and confirm this. Sounds reasonable to me.

This bike comes with 24 x 1 3/8 wheels. It is a bit of a rare size, a tiny bit bigger than a standard 24" bike wheel and is actually the size that is most common on wheelchairs. My kid is actually riding his bike with wheelchair tires on it (they work fine). If you're replacing a front wheel you could probably just get a standard 24" wheel (much easier to find) but you'll need to get a new tire to match it and the front brake pads may need to be adjusted a bit but it should work fine. I saw a front wheel here on Amazon called "Wheel Master Front Bicycle Wheel 24 x 1.75" that is cheap and gets good reviews. This bike comes with 24 x 1 3/8 wheels.

This product does come with training wheels. The only issue I had with this product was the assembly instructions were very minimal and not very helpful and the front wheel bracket/mount onto the tire was extremely tight and difficult to insert.

No, this bike does not use training wheels however it is designed for children with special needs.

As far as I know it is not designed to be used in conjunction alongside training wheels. I brought it to get my 7 year old autistic son to learn to ride his bike without them, and to help him learn to balance and used to controlling his bike without them. Not sure where you are from, but I have seen 12 inch bikes that have a handle attached to them for parental control and still have the training wheels. The Balance Buddy is attached to the nuts on the back wheels of the child's bike so you would not be able to have it, plus training wheels on your son's bike.
