Buying a kids bike is a big decision for any parent and parents have to consider a number of factors when making their buying decision. The first thing to consider when buying a kids bike is to understand the difference between a children's bike and an adult's bike. Kids bikes are typically sized different than adult bikes by which means that a kids bike may not be the ideal bicycle for your child. Also, when discussing a children's bike with regards to frame size, the seat and standover heights among major brands can vary dramatically.

Second, when comparing bikes make sure you choose one that matches your child's size and weight. Standover heights vary greatly among major brands and can cause children to be uncomfortable when on their bike. Also, when choosing the type of pedal system that your child will use, it is important to note that some balance bikes do not have pedals. These are called "pedal assist" bikes and they are great for children who are not ready to pedal on their own. Also, if your child has special needs such as tight turns, deep mud or rock climbing, a pedal assist bike is an excellent choice. They can help your child reach their fitness goals without the added stress on their legs and feet.

Third, keep in mind that there are different minimum seatpost height requirements for standard bikes and children's bicycles. For children under 14 inches in age, a minimum seatpost height of 32 inches is recommended. A child older than 14 but not taller than 48 inches should have a minimum seatpost height of 48 inches. If your child is not listed as being a specific height, check your child's inseam to determine the proper inseam for your child's bike.
