How to choose children's bicycles

At the time of choosing the bicycle for the smallest of the house, we must take into account various factors so that the choice is the most correct. In this way, we will try to have fun playing with your bike but always under the highest safety conditions. In addition to precautions for children on bicycles, we should assess which model and size best suits the child's age and ability. That is why we want to explain how to choose children's bicycles.

Steps to follow:

one

Before choosing the bike for a boy or girl, we must take into account the age of the child to be able to find a suitable bike. And this fact will not only influence the size, but also the type and characteristics of children's bicycles, since the youngest ones will need for example bikes with wheels, while the older ones will already do without them and will ride on two wheels.

Regarding the size of the bicycle, the height of the child at the time of choosing the bicycle and not so much the age should be taken as reference, in order to choose the diameter of the suitable wheel:

Hoop size 12: from 70 to 85 cm -> 2 to 4 years
Hoop size 14: from 85 to 100 cm -> 3 to 5 years
Size of ring 16: from 100 to 110 cm -> 4 to 6 years
Hoop size 18: from 110 to 120 cm -> 5 to 7 years
Hoop size 20: from 120 to 140 cm -> 6 to 9 years
Hoop size 24: from 140 to 160 cm -> 8 to 11 years
Hoop size 26: more than 160 cm -> more than 12 years

To verify that the size of the chosen bike is suitable for the child, it will be necessary that when sitting in the saddle with the hands on the handlebar, the base of the feet is in contact with the ground. You should not opt for a bicycle thinking about when it grows, as it will be uncomfortable and even dangerous for the little one. As it grows, the bike must be renewed to adapt it to the physical characteristics of the child.

As we mentioned at the beginning, it will be necessary for the youngest children to have a bicycle to which they can put and remove the wheels that will help them maintain stability while they learn to ride a bike. In addition to age and height, we must take into account the psychomotor skills of children to choose the bicycle adapted to their possibilities.

Also, it is recommended that children's bicycles have a chain guard to prevent them from getting caught in their pants or hurting their legs. It will be essential to guarantee the safety of the children at all times.
