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 16 inch bike good for a 4 year old?

A 16 inch bike is generally the best fit to purchase for 4 and 5-year-olds. If your child is a very tall 5-year-old, a 20 inch bike should also be considered to allow for more room for growth. Within the 16 inch wheel size, there is a very large range of seat heights.

What age child is a 20 inch bike for?

A 20 inch bike is generally the best fit to buy for 6 and 7-year-olds. If your child is already 8 or is a very tall 7-year-old, also consider 24-inch bikes as they would offer more room for growth. If a child starts on a 20 inch bike when they are 6 or 7, they can likely continue to ride it while they are 8 years old.
