How to choose a children's bicycle?Which brand of children's bicycle is good?

In addition to balance bikes and scooters, bicycles are also standard equipment for most children. However, there are not only many brands of children's bicycles on the market, but also a huge number of products. How should we choose the right one?

1. Look at the size

When buying a children's bicycle, you must first choose the right size.

The size of a children's bicycle should be selected based on the child's age and height. The size of a children's bicycle usually ranges from 12 inches to 20 inches, suitable for children of different ages and heights. Generally speaking, a 12-inch bicycle is suitable for children between 85-105 cm tall, a 14-inch bicycle is suitable for children between 90-120 cm tall, and a 16-inch bicycle is suitable for children between 105-135 cm tall. Don't choose a bicycle that is too big just because you want your child to ride for two more years, as that will increase the difficulty of riding for your child and make it uncomfortable.

In addition, the children's bicycle you buy should have a certain degree of adjustability, such as the height of the children's bicycle saddle can be adjusted from 435 to 635 mm to meet the needs of the child's subsequent growth. But the frame size must be appropriate so that the child can easily get on and off the bicycle and step on the pedals comfortably.

2. Look at security

Safety is the first consideration for things for children. The easiest way to judge the safety of children's bicycles is to check their implementation standards. It is recommended to choose children's bicycles that have passed the relevant national safety standards. The implementation standard for bicycles for children aged 6 to 8 is GB14746-2006 "Safety Requirements for Children's Bicycles", and the implementation standard for bicycles for older children aged 8 and above should be GB3565-2005 "Bicycle Safety Requirements".

After the baby carriage is assembled, the various rotating parts should be flexible and the structure should be stable. There should be no touchable corners, burrs, or sharp edges to avoid scratching the child. The surface of the metal welding area should be flat and there should be no defects such as cracks, burn-through, or incomplete welding.

3. Look at the ease of use and comfort of riding

Children's bicycles must meet the basic needs of children for riding. First of all, they must have good riding stability, good shock absorption, and sensitive brakes. At the same time, they must follow the principle of ease of use, such as easy getting on and off the vehicle, soft and comfortable seats, good support, etc., so that children can fully experience the joy of free riding!

4. Check whether the spare parts are replaceable

There are many components in children's bicycles, such as kickstands, training wheels, pedals, etc. It is best if these are replaceable to achieve the functional diversification of children's bicycles and extend their service life.

5. Look at the brand
