Okay, so I bought this basket for my niece's balance bike and... IT'S SO CUTE! The little cotton ball decorations make it look like something out of a storybook. She immediately wanted to put her stuffed bunny in it and ride around the yard.

The straps were super easy to adjust - no tools needed like they promised. My 6-year-old niece actually helped me install it (though she mostly just cheered me on). It stayed perfectly secure during her bumpy test rides!

Storage is decent - fits her water bottle, some sidewalk chalk, and a small toy. Not huge but perfect for little adventures. The beige color we chose looks great with her blue bike.

Only thing? It's cloth, not straw like I first thought from pictures. But honestly that might be better - seems more durable and weather-resistant. After two months of use (including one unexpected rain shower), it's holding up great with no fading or damage.

Extra bonus: Random neighbors keep complimenting how cute it looks! Might buy another for my friend's kid's birthday - at this price, it makes a fantastic gift that's both fun AND practical.
