Sizing bikes for your child can be a confusing affair because of the bewildering array of bike sizes that cater to kids of all age groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, this can be easily accomplished by having a basic understanding of how kids\u2019 bicycles are sized and what to look for when deciding on the right size bike for the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, it bodes well for the kid to have the right-sized bike as that would play a role in how the kid perceives biking<\/em><\/strong> to be and lean into this wonderful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A good experience with bikes and biking in the early years is crucial for the child to develop an appreciation for this activity<\/em><\/strong> and the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This would help keep the kid fit instead of clamming up inside the house and engaging in sedentary activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kids’ bikes are sized based on the wheel size, unlike adults’ bikes which are sized based on the frame as well as the wheel size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The wheel size is the measurement of the diameter of the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For eg., a 20-inch bike<\/strong> for kids denotes the diameter of the wheels which measure 20 inches from one point on the wheel to another point that lies exactly opposite to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although kid’s bikes are denoted by the wheel size, take that only as a general guideline when bike sizing for your kid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A better gauge would be the age and height of the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As kids can vary very much in terms of their height and weight for the same age, going with wheel size as the metric may not be an ideal method to select the right bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, factor in the growth spurt of the child as otherwise you would find yourself in the market for a new bike in a couple of months’ time. Kids can grow out of the bikes before they get to grow into their bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The below bike size chart gives a suitable estimation of the recommended height and age for all kids\u2019 bike wheel sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Are Kids Bike Sized?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
