The choice of a children's bicycle should be approached almost more carefully than the choice of an adult model. The child should like the bike and meet all safety standards, and not be a purchase for one season.
Instructions
Step 1
Children's bicycles vary in wheel diameter and are designed for the appropriate age and height of the child. Bicycles for the little ones have wheels with a diameter of 12-14 inches, while teenage models have 20-24 inches.
Step 2
It is convenient to ride a child aged one to two years on special tricycles equipped with a high handle behind the baby's back. In such bicycles, pay attention to convenience from the point of view of an adult: the handle should be of a suitable length, preferably adjustable, easy to turn. Such bicycles are often equipped with a special basket-type seat (the child sits like in a safe swing, legs are pushed through special holes), which can be easily removed if desired. Since these bicycles are designed for very young children, they often have a primitive musical device. Check which ringtones the manufacturer offers so that they will not annoy either the baby or you.
Step 3
If you are choosing a bike for a small child, look for additional wheels that should be easily removed once the child learns to ride on two wheels. At the same time, check how high the seat and handlebars can rise, then the bicycle can serve the child for more than one year. Therefore, it is best to buy a bike that currently has the lowest saddle position for the child.
Step 4
Whether you choose a bike for a kid or for a teenager, pay attention to its lightness and dimensions. A fancy tricycle can take up half of your hallway and be difficult for a child to move.
Step 5
You should not buy bicycles with a diameter of 18 inches - reliable manufacturers usually do not make such models, so it will most likely be an example of a low-quality Chinese product.
