So, your baby has already grown up. He wants to run and jump, but his legs on the street quickly get tired, and rolling him in a baby carriage or carrying him in his arms is already hard and inconvenient. Well, it's time to think about purchasing the first children's bike. What should it be and how to choose this simple vehicle correctly so that your little one gets the maximum benefit and pleasure from it?
Instructions
Step 1
Buy a baby bike
For toddlers from one to two years old, this is the perfect compromise between a self-contained bike and a stroller that the mother rolls in front of her. A child can pedal independently and even use a bicycle as a means of transportation, but when the little legs get tired, they can always be put on special stands and give parents the opportunity to roll the baby further without worries. Pay attention to the design of the bike stroller. It should not be too heavy or cumbersome, but there should not be excessive lightness in its design either. Bicycles made entirely of plastic are very unstable and can easily roll over, and plastic is quite easy to damage and break. It is best to use more durable materials for the wheels, handlebars and mountings.
Step 2
Pay attention to the construction of the bike
It doesn't matter which bike you choose: regular or combined with a parent handle. It is important that it is comfortable for your baby in height and size. Your child's feet should touch the ground when sitting on the bike, and the back should not bend forward or backward when trying to reach the handlebars. Make sure that the parts that the child touches are made of soft materials and are not heat-permeable. On a cool day, the baby shouldn't get cold on the bike, and in the heat, the seat and handlebars shouldn't burn the delicate baby skin.
Step 3
Pay attention to the functionality of the bike. The handlebar should not turn too much, small children often twist it all the way, which leads to the bike collapsing and falls. If you buy a stroller, make sure that the handle you will be holding is also capable of adjusting your little cyclist's handlebars. It is also important that the bike has everything that adult bicycles have: a horn, mirrors, and the like. Bicycle wheels must be rubberized and slide smoothly and quietly.
