Whoever said youth is wasted on the young never got to ride a Schwinn as a kid. The Schwinn Jasmine 16-inch girls' bike is a perfect example, with a number of high-quality features for the beginning rider.
The Jasmine is outfitted with a low stand-over frame with a unicrown fork, double-wide rims for stability, 3-inch Super Street white tires, and heavy-duty training wheels.
As a result, your daughter can ride with confidence until she's ready to take her next steps with a bigger bike. Plus, the bike is as fashionable as it is functional, with a fun light blue color, a matching handlebar bag, and streamers on the end of the grips.
Other features include a full top-wrap chain guard that keeps pants and laces free of tangles, a cushioned saddle, safety pads, a BMX-style handlebar with a two-bolt stem and alloy cap, a one-piece BMX crankset, and both a coaster brake and front and rear caliper brakes.

The bike arrived within a few days, but the box was damaged and opened. However, everything was there. The bike is a nice looking bike, and my granddaughter loves it!

great bike, January 9, 2010
By C. Contreras (ELP, TX)
I ordered this bike for my granddaughter for xmas......received it w/in a week. Came boxed properly and dad was great assembling it. Instructions were easy to read. No left over screws.... well built product. Sturdy. I would recommend for any young child. My granddaughter is 6 yrs. old and she is so happy with her Schwinn. The seat is adjustable for taller children and training wheels are removeable.

Great bike, poor packaging and shipping, October 22, 2009
By Christopher Gallagher "CGall" (Boston, MA)
I bought this bike for my 4 year old daughter. She loves the bike. It was easy to assemble. It took about 15 minutes. The bike has both a hand brake on the handle bars and a pedal brake, however, my daughter's can't reach the hand brake. Since it can't be adjusted, she can only use the pedal brake. Overall, the bikes seems to be of good quality and I am happy with my purchase.
The bike arrived in a box that was really beat up. The box was partially ripped in some spots and on one side a portion of the bike was sticking through the box. Once I took the bike out and started to assemble it I realized that the bike was damaged. One of the lug nuts that held the front wheel in place was partially crushed. Obviously, this bike fell from a height onto concrete or something very heavy fell on it to do that kind of damage. I sent the bike back and then had to wait 3 weeks for a replacement. The replacement came and the box was not in much better shape. I examined the new bike closely and found no real damage, but there were some scratches in the paint, most visibly on the handlebars. So, bike was also handled improperly in the shipping and handling process. I decided to keep the bike in spite of the scratches because I had wasted enough time getting to this point and hadn't found a nice bike at a local retailer for the same price.
I have had nothing but good experiences dealing with Amazon over the years. Customer service was helpful and responsive in this case. However, after reading some of the other reviews, I saw that many other people have had problems with the packaging and shipping of this bike. I would recommend the bike, but beware of the shipping and condition of the bike when you get it. Be prepared to send it back for another one becasue there is a good chance it will arrive damaged.

Strong ... but too heavy for our girl!, September 7, 2009
By E. Jeff Conklin "Jeff Conklin" (Napa, California)
We bought this bike for our daughter 2 years ago and are now looking for a smaller, lighter bike for her to actually learn to ride on. She has enjoyed riding it with training wheels when she goes out with Daddy on his jog, but now she is 6 ... and when she just wants to play she gets back on her tricycle, which is way small for her now. She is normal height and very strong, but when she is sitting on the bike, even with the seat set low, she is very high off the ground.
It probably comes down to being more about the process of learning to ride than about this bike. We thought we could skip the 12" bikes and get something strong that would take her from learning into 6th grade. The Jasmine will indeed last her a long time, but the lesson for us has been that a child who's sitting way high up on a heavy bike is too scared to relax and experience balance. (She has a scooter, by the way, and she is learning balance from playing on it.) Now we're thinking that a small, light plastic bike might be the ideal way for her to have that first balance experience, even if she tires of it quickly once she can ride without training wheels.
