How to choose?
When buying a children's bike, it is important to consider some features that will help determine the choice of a particular model.
Age
Mostly you need to focus on the age of your child.
Transport should be suitable for him in terms of physical development.
For example, for kids there are 3-wheeled bicycles with a padded seat and back. Such models are stable and will help the child learn to pedal, introducing him to the principle of the device. Usually, such products are equipped with a parental handle that helps you manage the bike yourself.
For older children, 2-wheeled bicycles are recommended. Safety wheels are included, which are screwed to the rear wheel and help the child learn transport faster. When the child learns to ride, additions can be removed. Children from 8 years old are recommended to take teenage items with big wheels. They are similar in design to older products, but smaller in size.
Height
One of the most important bike selection options. The fact is that not all children comply with standard parameters, respectively, and they need to select transport individually.
Not only the length of the structure, but also the size of the wheels depends on the growth.
If the baby in the store with you, put him on the bike. The foot should be free to reach the pedal at the bottom. If a bike is bought as a gift, first measure the distance from the elbow to your fingertips. The parameter must be equal to the distance from the saddle to the steering wheel. The diameter of the wheels of children's devices can be 10-20 inches. To get the size you need, divide the baby's height by 2.5, and after another by 2.54.
Design
Be sure to consider taste preferences regarding appearance. After all, first of all, children value design. For boys under 7 years old, a product of bright blue or green color, with a metallic tint, is perfect. Little girls love everything pink with flowers and bows. Adult children are advised to take standard models in black or white, so you definitely will not lose with the choice.
Details
Pay attention to the details. A big plus will be the presence of a basket for small things and a small trunk at the back. The steering wheel should have rubberized ends that will prevent slipping. It is better to take the saddle wider so that the baby can sit comfortably.
Presence of both a manual and foot brake is desirable.
