Let me start by saying this bike light is a hit with kids! The flashing LED lights and siren sounds make it perfect for pretend play. My nephew absolutely loves pretending to be a cop with this thing. The lights are bright and the different sound options keep it exciting.
However, I have to agree with some other reviewers about the volume. This thing is LOUD. Like, 'neighbors-giving-you-dirty-looks' loud. There's no volume control, which is a major downside. We've had to limit use in our neighborhood because it's just too much.
Installation was super easy - just strap it onto the bike handlebars. The waterproof feature gives me peace of mind when the kids leave their bikes out in the rain. The lights are surprisingly durable too - my nephew has dropped his multiple times and it still works fine.
One thing to note: battery life isn't great if the kids leave it on constantly. We go through batteries pretty quickly. Also, the speaker points directly at the rider, which makes it even louder for them. I wish it projected sound outward instead.
Overall, it's a fun accessory that kids adore, but the lack of volume control and extreme loudness make it less than perfect. Best for rural areas or occasional use rather than daily neighborhood riding.
