Danelle already acknowleged her lack of understanding about bike parts and assembly but also said her husband was knowledgeable. My point is - did he not at least give a once over look at this bike before handing it to the child for her first ride. Should have seen such a loose assembly, if that is indeed what caused the handlebars (or whatever) to "fall off" on the first use.
