Children's two-wheeled bicycles with a handle: an overview of manufacturers and selection criteria

Probably, there is no child in the world who would not be fond of cycling. Of course, loving such an activity is one thing, but learning how to keep your balance and pedaling on your own is quite another. Few children saddle the "iron horse" without problems. At this moment, parents are faced with a new task - to teach their child to ride a bike.

In order to make the classes easy and calm, the manufacturers came up with a two-wheeled children's bicycle with a handle, which greatly simplifies the learning process. In this article we will talk about this invention, its advantages and disadvantages, and also consider the most popular models from different manufacturers.

A children's bicycle with a parental handle is a two-wheeled vehicle that looks like a regular bicycle, except that it has a special safety handle at the back. With its help, parents control the child's driving process, making sure that he does not fall.

Such a product has its own characteristics that distinguish it from similar designs.

• The presence of an open seat, thanks to which the view is completely open in front of the child... This allows the baby to observe everything around him without any interference.
• Limiters. The main purpose of these special attachments is to prevent falls and to protect the child.
• The presence of a small trunk, protective rain cover, footrest.

It is impossible not to mention the advantages and disadvantages of the design, because they are fundamental when choosing a bicycle.

Speaking about the advantages of this type of transport, I would like to note the following criteria:

• promotes fast learning;
• improves the emotional and physical condition of the child;
• the parent has the ability to control the movement of the bike and help the child;
• the kid learns to make several decisions at the same time - to pedal, control the steering wheel and control his movement;
• buying such a bike will also affect financial costs, reducing them, because there is no need to buy a tricycle either.

If we are discussing the disadvantages, then it is worth mentioning a few.

• Price. Such transport is more expensive than a regular bicycle.
• The weight. There are models that can weigh even more than 9 kilograms.

As you can see, a bicycle with a parent handle has much more positive qualities.

When choosing a two-wheeled vehicle with a handle for your child, there are several factors to be guided by.

This is the most important selection criterion, which is fundamental when buying. In any store, the seller first of all will ask the question of how old the child is and how tall he is, and only then will he clarify other details.

Experts recommend buying a two-wheeled bicycle with a handle for a child, who has reached the age of 3 years. In terms of weight, each bicycle model has its own criterion for permissible weight.

Studying the "control tool", you should carefully pay attention to the following characteristics:

• the material from which it is made;
• is it possible to change the height and angle of the handle;
• whether the handle is rubberized.

These are several positions.

• Wheels. It is important to correctly determine their diameter, since it depends on how convenient and comfortable the baby will learn to ride.
• Chain. It must have special protection, the presence of which will protect the baby from falling.
• Pedals. They can be made of metal or plastic. Of course, metal is more reliable and durable.
• Brake... It can be foot, hand or two-in-one. The ideal option is a bicycle with two types of braking systems.
• Steering wheel functionality. It must be regulated, and the place on the steering wheel that the child is holding on must be rubberized.
• Price. The price can be either affordable or high. It all depends on the manufacturer, the functionality of the unit and the technical characteristics.
• Manufacturer. A very important factor in the choice, because the quality, reliability and durability of the vehicle depend on the manufacturer.
