There are many toddler ride-on toys and tricycles, but now we've toddler bikes! These bikes make it easy to learn to ride a bike. It is as natural as crawling,walking and running . When looking for a bike for your toddler take a look around there are so many to chose through. I know I looked at most of them when buying my 2 children theirs over the summer. I've summarized my search fer you here, I hope it helps you save some time.
1. The age and size of the rider -- Some toddler bikes will accommodate kids as young as 1 year old. Others require that the rider be at least be 2-3 years old and far taller.
2. The Adjustability of the bike -A wider selection of adjustability will increase the lifespan of the toddler bike and ensure even the smallest most youthful toddler will be able to straddle the bicycle and then use it for many years. The majority of the wooden balance bikes are very limited in their range of adjustability
3. Foot pegs, integrated foot rests or neither-an integrated feet rest is the best of all possible worlds... someplace to rest your feet while gliding, but without foot pegs being in the way while running.
4. Brakes? - Small children don't have the physical strength to use a hand brake. It is instinctual to pull a "Fred Flintstone" and put their own feet down when they feel unsteady.
5. Tires- Traditional air stuffed tires or Puncture evidence foam tires are your choices. The new maintenance free foam wheels are lightweight, all -terrain, hole proof and very durable. Forget about flat tires!
6. Weight- A really light toddler bike will ensure your toddler feels confident and in control. It is also easy to maneuver over obstacles like logs and pathways.
7. Price - The prices for toddler bikes range from under $100 to over $300! That is a big price difference. When shopping for a bike for your child pay attention to the details listed above and i'm confident you will find the bike that has it all for under $100!
