What size bike do I get my 3 year old?

Kids 12 inch and 14 inch bikes are the best size bikes for 3-year-olds, but they vary greatly in cost, size and features. Although younger kids can fit on a 12 inch bike, we have found that pedal bikes are usually too heavy for them to properly handle and a lightweight balance bike is better suited for their size.

Can a 3 year old ride a 18 inch bike?

A bike with 18 or 20-inch wheels will be suitable for riders that are 7 to 9 years old and of average height (47.7″ – 52.5″). If your child is taller than average, they may need a 16-inch bike. Or, if they’re shorter than average height, they may require a 24-inch bike.

Is a 12 inch bike OK for a 4 year old?

The best size bike for a 4-year-old is either a 12-inch or 16-inch wheel, depending on their height. Similarly, the right size bike for a 5-year-old falls into that same range. Most 8 and 9-year-olds will fit on a 20-inch wheel bike. Meanwhile, a 10-year-old (or older) will likely use the 24-inch size.

Is a 14 inch bike too big for a 3 year old?

A bike with 14-inch wheels is appropriate for riders aged 3 to 5. This bike comes with a rather small frame as it has 14-inch wheels. Therefore, if your kid’s height is around 40 – 43 inches tall (100 cm – 110 cm), they can maneuver a 14 inch bicycle quite well.
