How to choose a bike for a child: just don’t buy one “for growth”
When choosing a bicycle for a child, you should be guided by several factors at once.
These include his age and height, as well as his level of training.
So, if we talk about wheel sizes, then for children aged 3 to 5 years, vehicles with a wheel diameter of 30 cm are suitable. If the family has a younger schoolchild aged 6 to 8 years, then parents should look for a bicycle with wheels of 40 cm in diameter.
In the future, if your son or daughter's height allows, you can visit the section with adult bicycles.
The weight of the "two-wheeled horse" is also of no small importance. Make sure that the bike is fairly light - this will make it easier for the child to control it and monitor the vehicle.
Models made of aluminum and carbon meet this requirement – they are light and quite durable.
Before buying, evaluate the handles and tires of the vehicle: if the child is just learning to “steer”, then your option is with wide tires and thick handles, which will make the trips as safe as possible.
The last thing I would like to mention is protection - no matter what age the cyclist is, he needs a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads.
Previously, we talked about what to do if a child does not want to wear glasses.
