Quad bikes with handle

It is very difficult for every child to change from a tricycle to a two-wheeled one. In order to adapt the young racer to a new vehicle, you can offer him a four-wheeled version. This is a reliable type of transport for children, and if it has a parental handle, then the safety of such a device increases even more.

The four-wheeled model looks like an adult bicycle, which is what attracts a child who wants to "grow up" as quickly as possible. The position of the pedals is the same as on the parent two-wheeler, which means that the baby will get used to the adult bike faster.

Even more safety is added by a special handle, which can be held by one of the parents and control the actions of the little cyclist. Ride comfort is ensured by the adjustable steering wheel and seat height.

A bicycle on four wheels teaches its rider to speed and maneuverability, develops balancing and other skills that will come in handy when changing from a four-wheeled vehicle to a two-wheeled one. Seeing that the child is confidently sitting behind the wheel, you can always try to give up two additional wheels and go to the next level.

Among the features of the 4-wheel models are several disadvantages. First of all, these are rather massive units that can weigh up to 10 kg, which is not very convenient for a fragile child. In addition, children's bicycles are mainly adapted for riding on flat asphalt surfaces. On the other hand, no parent will allow a child to learn how to ride a bike on rocky, bumpy terrain.

When buying a four-wheeled bicycle with a handle, you need to pay attention to a number of criteria.

• The size. Try not to buy a model "for growth", even if it has the function of adjusting the seat and steering wheel. Not only these indicators are selected for growth, but also the diameter of the wheels, as well as the length of the frame. So, for kids it is recommended to buy models with wheels with a diameter of 12 inches, for children from 3 to 5 years old - 14 inches, for racers 4-6 years old - 16 inches.
• Security. There is no need for children to purchase a bike with multiple speeds. This is not only dangerous, but also inconvenient for beginner athletes. Also choose the closed chain option to keep your child safe from injury.
• The weight. Models more preferable in terms of weight are made of aluminum, rather than steel, and these are mainly offered by foreign manufacturers.
• Brake. For a child, it is better to choose a model with a rear wheel brake - then the likelihood of overturning when braking is significantly reduced. If, in addition to the handbrake, the bike is equipped with a foot brake system, then this option definitely deserves attention, because novice cyclists are used to braking with their feet.
• A pen. Give preference to units in which it is adjustable in height. This brings convenience to the parent leading the baby - he does not have to bend or pull his hand.
• Appearance... As a rule, children are attracted to bright colors, and on a device that the child likes externally, he will learn to ride much faster.
• Convenience... To make the future "driver" comfortable, put him on the selected instance. Your knees should not touch the steering wheel when turning, your feet should reach the pedals in any position. It's great if the little biker's leg is slightly bent when the pedal is in its lowest position.

When choosing a suitable four-wheeled copy, pay attention to the options from well-known manufacturers.

• Mars. The advantage of the model is the use in the production of aluminum, which makes it rather light and allows the child to take the bike out into the yard on their own. The model is designed for children from 3 years old. Another advantage is the wide variety of designs, colors and sizes.

• Batboy. In this case, the bike is made of steel, which means that it is much heavier than the previous version. However, only the frame is steel here, and the rest of the elements are made of aluminum. This unit is characterized by high durability and safety. The company offers a wide range of colors and sizes. Models can be purchased for children from two years of age.

• Stels Dolphin. Model for the smallest - for toddlers from 1.5 years old. This is the most difficult option as it is made entirely of steel. However, a racer at such a young age will not carry a bicycle on his own, and for parents the unit is quite lifting. It has high reliability rates, which attracts most of the parents. The pluses include the included "buzzer", flag, steering wheel pad and backpack.
