5 Good 12 &14 Inch Quality Bikes for Kids Age 2, 3, & 4
Other Things to Keep in MindWith bicycles, you really do get what you pay for. Super discounted bikes are usually not made of the best quality materials.Having a bicycle can help teach your child how to take care of mechanical equipment. Learn the basics yourself, and be willing to teach them, on how to make simple repairs. I remember it being very helpful when my older brother taught me how to replace a chain that has come loose while riding. I was always so intimidated by it, especially getting my hands dirty, that I never attempted it without first being shown and being comfortable with fixing it myself.New Bike, New HelmetBuying a helmet and a bike should go hand in hand. If you have your child help you pick out a fun and colorful helmet, they may be more willing to wear it.Look for a helmet that has vents to help your child's head breathe. If they are uncomfortable wearing a helmet at all, you are guaranteed to catch them without it. Make sure that it meets all standards for the Consumer Product Safety Commission.Helmet FittingWrap a tape measure around your child's head at the largest part two. This will typically be the part that covers the top of his ears. Check each manufacturer's label to find out how to convert the measurements you got from your child's head to their recommended helmet size. One size does not fit all so make sure to check each individual helmet you are considering for purchase.The helmet must not move from side to side on their head. If you find this is happening, make sure that the manufacturer gives you sizing pads to help with this. Your child should have no more than two fingers width, horizontally, between the tops of her eyebrows and the bottom of the helmet.Bikes for Kids Ages 2, 3, 4For little princesses, consider this Huffy Girl's Disney Princess 12 Inch Bike.
