How to choose the perfect bicycle for your child?
Your kid needs a new bike, but they’re growing so fast, so how do you know which size to get them? There are a few factors that need to be taken into account when choosing the perfect bicycle for your child.
Your child’s height and inseam are very important when considering which size bicycle to buy. Of course you would want to get your kid a bicycle that they can grow into and use for a longer period of time.
Measuring their inseam rather than just using their height, has been proven to be much more accurate. You can easily deduct their inseam by measuring the distance between the ground and their crotch.
Below we have created a table for you to see which bicycle would suit your child’s height and inseam the very best.
