Does anyone know if the handle bar foam can be replaced?...say...if a toddler has torn with teeth?

Hardware store pipe insulation and some packing tape. My Son did the same thing two days after we got it.

I think a trip to the local hardware store for some water pipe insulation sleeves would work just fine. A pool noodle might also work, though the noodles we have at our house have a larger diameter hole than the bar- if you left the old foam on it might work. Decorative duct ontop of the foam also discourages bites into the foam.

i dont think so, but i think you can replace the foam with the new one and you can wipe clean the plastic part.

Did you ever find out how to replace the wires coming out of the bike? Of course our dog ate the ones coming out of the bike, not the one they sell on the website. Thanks

I wouldn't suggest doing that. The bike is clumsy and wobbly, real hard to just push to move it out of the driveway when he leaves it laying there because it doesn't provide good balance when not actually sitting on the seat and holding both ends of the handle bars. And even when sitting on the seat the child has to work to balance it, which makes the transition to riding a regular bike easy because they've tackled this training tool. I would definitely only use this training tool as it was designed for.

We just bought this bike and after 2 days the parent handle steering went out also. Did you have any luck fixing it or returning it?

I took mine off a long time ago. He bent up the support bars something awful. If I did not throw it away you can have mine. All you would have to do is pay me back for the shipping and handling. I know it is still in excellent condition. Will gt back to you about it. e-mail me at smoriar@optonline.net if you are interested.

My kids have outgrown the bike and I no longer have it. I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you. Maybe contact the manufacturer/seller?

Our foam disintegrated as well as the padding that went over the springs. We chose not to replace it and we have had no issues however my children are 14 & 11. If yours are younger you might want to give more thought to replacing the padding. I have seen people use the pool noodles from the dollar store for padding.

No, not really. It is pretty durable foam that has taken a beating from my 5 year-old. It can get dents in it (his sword has some) and the coating/paint peels a little (but that's only because he left it outside overnight and the moisture got to it)

Sorry "S", though I'd planned to use that expandable foam last fall I didn't. I'll be using it in a month or so too replace flotation in a little run-about. I did see a few people use it successfully on "You Tube." You may want to explore. that.option.

You cant replace the seat on this bike , the seat and post were made just for this bike. I use a gel seat cover and it helps.

Darryl, how did you knocked out the plastic insert out of the seat tube!?? I'm having a really hard time with that. Thank you!.

Ours is long gone, but had the same problem. Have no answer, just keep putting it back on. I guess you can try to glue it. That thing was a life saver. Plop the kid in and you can get some things done. Both kids loved it, especially when starting to walk.

Those plain silver ones need replaces after acouple years for lack of tension. Those black handle ones will last almost as long as the bar itself. They are harder to put on because they are built to last.

We took off all the foam on the handle and then ours to a bike shop and had them wrap it with cushioned handle bar tape. Works great.

Yes but the bar is removable.... It's good quality foam patting not like on a bicycle handlebar
