Determine which of our bikes is best for your child based on their height. If they're in between sizes, it's a good idea to consider their age and skill level to choose a bike that's right for them.
Note: The size chart below is a general guideline. Actual dimensions may vary by model. Please refer to each model's size chart.
How do I choose the right bike size for my child?
To find the perfect size, measure your child’s height. Then, match those measurements with our size chart for the best fit. Our chart provides recommended ages, heights, and wheel sizes to guide you.
What if my child is between two sizes?
When deciding between two bike sizes for a child, several additional factors can come into play, including their past use of a walker (Balance bike) and their athletic ability. Here's a more detailed explanation:
1. Previous Experience with a Walker (Balance bike):
- Balance and Coordination: Children who have used a walker might already have a basic sense of balance and coordination, which could make them more comfortable with a slightly larger bike. If they’ve shown early mobility and are used to managing their movements, they may adapt more easily to a larger size.
- Confidence: Kids with experience using a walker may be more confident trying new types of mobility, including a bigger bike. A larger bike offers more long-term growth, and confidence can help them adjust to the size difference more easily.
2. Athletic Ability:
- Motor Skills Development: Children with stronger athletic ability, or those who tend to pick up physical activities quickly, may benefit from a larger bike. They often have the coordination, strength, and control to handle the larger frame and might even feel more stable with the additional room.
- Physical Strength: A child with better muscle control and strength, especially in their legs and core, may have no trouble handling the extra size. However, a child who is less active may feel overwhelmed by a larger bike, so in that case, the smaller size might provide a better fit for them to build confidence.
3. Size and Fit Adjustments:
- Seat and Handlebar Adjustments: Always consider the bike’s adjustability. A larger bike may initially feel slightly big, but with adjustable seats and handlebars, you can fine-tune the fit to your child’s current size and raise them as they grow.
- Foot Contact with the Ground: A key safety factor is that your child should be able to touch the ground with their feet when seated. Even on a larger bike, if they can safely do this, the size might be appropriate.
4. Comfort and Control:
- A bike that is too small may feel cramped and limit the child’s ability to develop good riding posture and technique, while a bike that is too big could make them feel unsteady or unable to handle it properly.
- Pay attention to how comfortable your child looks and feels when trying out both sizes. If they seem confident and in control with the larger bike, it’s likely a good choice.
Ultimately, consider your child’s unique development and abilities when choosing the right bike size. If they're showing good balance and coordination, a larger bike with adjustments could be the best long-term choice.
Can the bike be adjusted as my child grows?
Yes! All of our bikes feature adjustable seats and handlebars to accommodate growth, providing several years of use.
How accurate is the size chart?
Note: The size chart above is a general guideline. Actual dimensions may vary by model. Please refer to each model's size chart.
While most bikes follow similar sizing, small differences can occur. Also, if your child is at the maximum or minimum height for a certain size bike. He/She could use a bike of this size, but it might not be very comfortable. It is recommended that you choose a larger or smaller size.
