Bike-bike allows not only to have fun, but also is a good tool by which the baby learns to a healthy lifestyle. Daily walks on such a vehicle have a beneficial effect on immunity.
What bicycles are there?
In the store you can find the following models:
- runbike;
- three-wheeled with the ability to pedal;
- 2 in 1 model with pedals, battery and engine;
- two-wheeled with safety wheels;
- two-wheeled.
Runbike
These bikes are distinguished by the lack of pedals. They are also called balancing. The main users of such vehicles are children under one and a half years old. The bicycle begins to move at the moment when the child pushes his foot off the ground, giving it acceleration.
The direction of movement is set using the steering wheel. After managing such a model, the baby will learn to ride a regular two-wheeled bicycle faster.
This is not only an opportunity to have fun, but also a great workout aimed at strengthening the cardiovascular system and muscles.
The advantage of runbikes is that the risk of injury is minimal.
However, it is worthwhile to ensure that the small athlete does not gain much speed, since then it becomes more difficult to drive the vehicle.
Tricycle with pedals
A model also designed for the smallest users. It demonstrates increased stability, hence the high level of security. When turning the steering wheel, the direction of movement is selected.
This model should be selected, given the growth of the child. The feet of the baby sitting on the bike should touch the ground. It is very convenient when the manufacturer completes the bike with a seat in the form of a small chair.In this case, the child will not slip from it.
For the smallest, it is worth choosing pedals with a wide area of contact, so that the child has the necessary emphasis for legs.
2 in 1 model with battery and engine
It will allow your baby to feel like a real biker, because in addition to the pedals, he has a battery and an engine that allow the young driver to ride without any effort - you only need to drive. It is capable of driving at speeds of up to 2 km / h, a 6-volt battery can withstand one and a half hours without recharging.
Well, the characteristic “buzz” of the motor will surely appeal to the child.
Two-wheel with safety wheels
Such a bicycle for children resembles a regular one, only two safety wheels of a smaller diameter act as additional insurance. A great alternative to the three-wheeled model.
Parents loved the presented model for increased stability demonstrated during operation. The only thing that is important to remember is such bicycles should not be used on rough roads, since it is likely that the child will lose his balance and fall to one side.
Two wheeled
These kids bikes are designed for children from 7 years old. They are identical to adult models, the main difference is only the size.
How to choose
Do not save and buy a vehicle for growth. The kid, to whom the model does not fit in height, may not reach the brakes at the most crucial moment or just let go of the steering wheel.
Most modern vehicles can be adjusted in the steering wheel and seat for 15-20 centimeters. All presented products can be divided by age groups:
- older than a year old;
- from 3 to 5 years;
- 5–8 years old;
- 8-14 years old.
Vehicles in the form of a bike for children from one year are designed to grow up to 100 centimeters. They have a wheel diameter of 12 inches. It is best to choose a 2 in 1 model.
Children 3–5 years old may use vehicles with 16-inch wheels. The height of the owner should be from 90 to 125 cm.
If the baby is older than 5 years old, and his height is up to 135 cm, then an ideal solution for him would be a model similar to a motobike with a wheel diameter of 20 inches.
Young athletes who have grown to 155 cm should choose a vehicle with a wheel diameter of 24 inches in the store.
If parents competently approach the issue of choosing a vehicle for their baby, then it will be possible to avoid an emergency during operation. If the owner’s growth corresponds to the dimensions, then riding will not only bring a lot of pleasure, but also have a positive effect on posture. Otherwise, the baby begins to hunch, the back suffers.
