How to Choose the Right Size Bike for Your Child

A bike is the right size when your child can:

• Sit on the saddle and rest the balls of both feet on the ground.
• Straddle the top bar with a comfortable clearance and with both feet flat on the ground.
• Reach the handlebars with a slight bend in the arms when sitting on the seat.
• If there are handbrakes, your child should be able to grasp them and apply enough pressure to stop the bike.

As your child grows, you can raise the seat post and handlebar stem according to the owners manual limits.
