When choosing a bike for a child, it is recommended to pay attention to some details that will help you decide on a purchase. It is best to take your child with you so that he can choose a device to his liking. If the transport is purchased as a gift, try to choose a model that will appeal to your daughter or son.

The most important parameter for the selection of child transport is the growth of your child. This is what you need to focus on when choosing the size of the structure and the diameter of the wheels. Some children are ahead of their peers in height, so they will not fit standard products designed for their age.

If you do not plan to take the child with you, first measure the distance from the elbow to the fingertips. This is the length that the distance between the handlebars and the front edge of the seat should be. If your son or daughter is with you, put them on the device. Feet should be free to reach the pedal, which is at the lowest point. Wheel diameters for baby products range from 16 to 24 inches. For ease of calculating the value that suits you, use the following formula: divide the child's height by 2.4, and then by another 2.54. This way you get the parameter you want.
