What should we pay attention to when choosing children's bikes?

Brave people learn two skills from childhood, one is swimming, one is to learn to ride a bicycle. Perhaps for us now, there are few bike rides, short distance bus, subway, taxi, long distance self-driving, train, plane... But cycling is a lifelong skill, especially for babies, and the benefits are endless: exercise, confidence, brain development... Therefore, a good children's bike is essential. So the question comes, choose children's bikes, should pay attention to what things?


Whether it is safe to ride


I don't think there's any problem with safety being number one. Safety is the top priority for the baby. So reflected in the children's bicycle, what need to pay attention to?




(1) Material


In fact, the main structure is not to be emphasized. There may be many bicycle categories on the market, but generally speaking, aluminum alloy, high carbon steel and high-end carbon fiber are the most widely used. The reason I mention materials is because of the details that you tend to overlook. Some businesses in order to save costs, in some structures will use plastic material, such as wheel shaft, head tube and so on. So don't overlook these details when making a purchase.




(2) Design


Hinder safe function and design, although again beautiful, ALSO CANNOT choose CERTAINLY. Are there any parts on the car that are sharp or protruding? Are the welds strong? (Fish scale welding is the most advanced welding technology at present) are there any unnecessary accessories...... Appearance level may be the first factor to attract most buyers, but pay more attention to these possible safety risks while focusing on appearance level.




(3) Brake


The brake system is the last barrier to protect the baby's safety, therefore, timely and effective braking is essential in the process of baby cycling. The brake system generally consists of brake handle, brake and brake wire. Brake is generally used in V brake and disc brake, and there is not much need to say, but the baby is controlled by the brake, so whether the brake is easy to control, is the key. We know that babies are very different from adults. Babies have small hands and little strength. Many non-professional brand to do buggies, the production of buggies still continue the standard of adult cars, designed to hold the brake distance, strong resistance. Therefore, in the selection of children's bikes, the best choice of small grip brake.




(4) Tires


Here the tire, not only refers to the front and rear wheels, training wheels are also a kind of tire. Training wheels may not be necessary as your baby gets older and better at riding, but for toddlers, training wheels are essential. Therefore, the training wheel rod is easy to fold, the training wheel spacing is large enough, in the selection of the best time to ask. In addition, the main wheel hub material, tire width, pattern and so on also need to pay attention to.




Two riding is light


Baby's physical ability and adults, is a big difference, so choose a super "light" car, absolutely can let the baby in a longer ride to enjoy more. Here Xiaobian to emphasize that riding light ≠ light weight. Body weight is only one of the factors, or a very small factor, in the pursuit of small weight at the same time, we must simultaneously meet the above safety factors. In fact, the key to whether the riding is light is the bearing material and drive type. The transmission effect of plastic parts is not as good as metal parts, riding and steering is not flexible. In addition, most of the children's bikes on the market are the loose bead drum with larger resistance, and the non-destructive smooth bearing applied to the car bearing drive is the best choice, and the cycling time is longer. If you don't understand, you can ask the dealer directly when you buy a car.




Three children's bicycle size


Many parents when buying a car, will ask such words, my baby XX years old this year, buy how much appropriate ah? Babies grow fast, do I need to buy a bigger one, so it will last longer... Here, Xiaobian will give you correct. First of all, the size of children's bicycle is not determined according to the age of the baby, but the height of the baby. The height of the baby in the same age is different, and the size is also different. Secondly, be sure to buy the size suitable for the baby riding, do not buy a big or small, the most suitable, is the best. A children's bike selection guide on the table, you can fit in.


In addition to the above three points, in the process of buying children's bikes should also consider the brand, specializing in children's bikes, must be more suitable for the baby than the adult car, halfway brand, because it is the starting point of the study is the baby. In addition, there are cost performance, appearance level and so on.
