Build quality and comfort are also factors to account for, which is why you should spend time researching and taking your child to bike shops to see what they will like.

Making the Right Choice for your Kids bike

There are a number of fundamental aspects that will majorly affect your choice. Remembering them is necessary so that your child gets a bike that suits them perfectly. Let’s explore them below.

Age
Kids of different ages will require different types of a kids bike. If they are a toddler around the age of 3 years, then a tricycle will be the best option If they are a little older, then they can use a balance bike. At the pre-teen to early teen stage, then a regular kids’ bike will suit them well. 

Height
Height is a better way to find the right fit for your kid than age. It directly impacts your how comfortable your child is with their bike. Depending on their height, get a balance bike, a standard bicycle for kids, or even an adult bike, if they have the height for it. Consult a height chart, or let your child try bikes at a local bike shop.

Riding Experience
If your child has no or little experience cycling, then they should use a balance bike or a kids’ bike with training wheels to get them used to the feel of cycling safely. If they are more experienced, then they can ride bikes without training wheels, and even adult sized bikes, depending on their height and age.

Purpose
If your child is younger and just needs a bike to ride around with their friends or go to school, then a regular kids bike or city bike will suit them just fine. In some cases, if they like off-road cycling, then you and your child can look at specialty bikes like mountain bikes or off-road bikes. 

Conclusion

The right bike will help your kids cycle for years, possibly even for life. Cycling is also perfect for them. It gives them a chance to go outside with their friends, makes them active and strong, and adds a lot of fun to their day.
