How To Choose The Size Of Children's Bicycle

Children at different growth stages, due to different body and bone development, need to choose the right size and model of bicycle, so that children can ride happily and ensure the healthy development of bones.

The selection of children's bicycle size is mainly based on height, and then make a comprehensive choice based on age.

If the child is between 2 and 6 years old and less than 1 10cm tall, it is more suitable for the 12-inch children's ride on car without transmission system. The model of this size drives the vehicle mainly by the children sitting on the car to get forward power by pushing off the ground. Cycling can be picked up by children. Its advantages are that it can exercise leg muscles and body balance well, which is not only conducive to the development of children, but also can cultivate children's lifelong love of cycling from an early age.

When the child is a little older, it is necessary to choose the children's bicycle with the transmission system. At this time, more professional young kid’s car is needed. It is best to choose the brand designed for the skeletal development of children in a region, so as to be more suitable for the height ratio of their children.

16-inch cars are generally suitable for 4-7 years old children with a height between 98-117cm. Although children in this age group have mastered certain cycling skills, their responsiveness and sensitivity are still low, so the car needs to minimize dangerous sharp objects or metal objects.

Generally, the suitable age for 20-inch children's bicycles is 6-8 years old, and the height is between 112-136cm. The basic skills, leg strength and sense of balance of children in this age group will be more mature. If the height is between the two models, in addition to the reference age, you can also refer to the child's riding basis and car control ability. Although the larger size stability is better, the steering control and so on need to have a certain basis, which involves an important basis for the selection of ride on cars: lightweight, which will be introduced in detail below.

Generally, children over 8 years old can choose a bicycle of this size with a height between 127-154cm. Children in this age group can already accept faster riding, enjoy more riding fun, and need more riding skills. The size of the baby can choose to match the speed change system and the disc brake, the advantage of the disc brake is that the brake travel is shorter, stronger braking force, suitable for children "finger short", "small strength" characteristics, can be safe braking at high speed.

The variable speed system also allows easy switching between flat/uphill modes, avoiding the use of brute force riding that puts too much strain on the knees.
