There are numerous toddler ride-on playthings and tricycles, but now we have toddler bikes! These bikes make it simple to learn to ride a bike. It's as natural as crawling,walking and running . When shopping for a bike for your toddler have a look around there are so many to chose from. I know I looked at many of them when buying my 2 kids theirs over the summer. I have summarized my search fer a person here, I hope it saves you some time.
1. The age and size of the rider -- Some toddler bikes will accommodate children as young as 1 year old. Other people require that the rider attend least be 2-3 years old and far taller.
2. The Flexibility of the bike -A wider range of adjustability will increase the lifespan from the toddler bike and ensure even the smallest youngest toddler will be able to straddle the bike and then use it for many years. Most of the wooden balance bikes are very limited in their range of flexibility
3. Foot pegs, integrated feet rests or neither-an integrated foot rest is the best of both worlds... someplace to rest your feet while gliding, but without feet pegs being in the way while operating.
4. Brakes? - Toddlers don't have the physical strength to operate a hand brake. It is instinctive to pull a "Fred Flintstone" and put their feet down when they feel unsteady.
5. Tires- Traditional air filled tires or Puncture proof foam tires are your options. The new maintenance free foam wheels are lightweight, all -terrain, hole proof and very durable. Forget about flat tires!
6. Weight- A very light toddler bike will ensure your toddler seems confident and in control. It's also easy to maneuver over hurdles like logs and sidewalks.
7. Price - The costs for toddler bikes range from under $100 to in excess of $300! That is a big price distinction. When shopping for a bike for your child pay attention to the details listed above and I am confident you will find the bike which has it all for under $100!
