Ideally, there will be a little more space than that for your child to maneuver the bike comfortably. This means that your child’s inseam needs to be AT LEAST as tall as the standover height. The standover height is the height of the top tube of the bike frame where your child will be positioned when standing with one leg over each side of the bike. If they do, however, you should compare it to your child’s inseam. Not all bike manufacturers list the standover height for their bikes. It’s best to look for a bike that will provide the BEST FIT for your kiddo. Different bikes have different stand-over heights and min/max seatpost heights.

Just because you think your child probably needs a 14″ bike doesn’t mean that ANY 14″ bike will fit them. 3) Look Up the Specs for the Bike (or Bikes) You are Interested In Make sure to write down those measurements and save them for our next step. You’ll want to take the measurements in inches (or convert to inches once you’re done). Measure your child’s inseam AND their height. Lie and say you’re sewing clothes or something if it must be a secret! If you’re buying the bike as a gift, you should still be able to ask the child’s parents to measure them for you. The next thing to do is to measure your child. Use this chart to get a general idea of which size bike your child needs, but don’t skip the steps below!!!! Wheel sizeĢ) Measure Your Child’s Height and Inseam Don’t let that stress you out–this is just a starting point, so get a basic idea of what size wheels your kid PROBABLY needs. If your child is tiny or super tall, they may need a smaller OR bigger bike than the general range we suggest here. I say probably because we’re basing it on an age range for kids of average height. The best way to start narrowing down which size bike your child needs is to determine which size wheels they PROBABLY need.

When your kiddo is ready for 26-inch, they are generally ready for an adult size ride, although some bike manufacturers make smaller “youth” size 26″ bikes.īalance bikes, on the other hand, start with wheels as small as 10″ although most balance bikes have 12″ or 14″ wheels. The tiniest pedal bikes start with 12-inch wheels while bigger bikes go all the way up to 24-inch wheels.
