Product Information

As your child gets older, they might get interested in particular cycling sports such as BMX or cyclo-cross, and there are specialist bikes suited to this. What size bike does my child need? We believe bikes and cycling are for the whole family, that's why our cycling range has something for everyone from toddlers through to adults. Get your child started on a bike with one of our balance bikes. Help your kids have as much fun as possible out of their first years on two wheels. Look out for bikes that allow you to adjust the seat and the bar so their bike can grow along with them. Junior Bikes Try and buy a bike that fits with the saddle and handlebars at their lowest point, which will give them a bit of extra flexibility. You can also buy bikes that transform for a growing child.

Your child will probably be ready to do more exploring and a good all-terrain bike will cater for both riding round the streets as well as a bit of off-roading. The Vitus 24 is a good value option with all the features you’d expect from a lightweight children’s bike. We started our research by trawling the Mumsnet forums to find out which bikes Mumsnetters themselves were recommending, looking at how easy they were to ride, how well they lasted over time and to what extent they retained their value after use. If you’re after a first bike for your toddler, you’re looking at a choice between a balance bike and a bike with stabilisers. These come in small 10- or 12-inch wheel sizes but offer two very different methods of learning to ride. Key specs – Approx age: 5-8; Wheel size: 20in; Number of gears: 6; Weight: 8kg; Tyre width: 1.75in; Stabilisers included: NoAlso consider your child’s weight versus the full weight of the bike. Ideally you want the weight of the bike to be no more than 32 percent of your child's weight. So if your child weighs 20 kilograms, you’re looking for a bike that weighs just under seven. There are a mind-boggling array of kids’ bikes around. The first thing is to narrow down the age range you’re looking for. Balance bike or stabilisers? The right accessories can transform your child’s bike from an occasional toy to a beloved favourite. Our range ensures you can find the perfect accessories for your child from protective kids’ helmets in different colours and styles to bells, water bottles and more. Accessories for Children’s Bikes Austrian brand, Woom, only started making bikes in 2013 and since they came over to the UK around five years ago, they’ve challenged the likes of Islabikes and Frog for being some of the best bikes around for children. This is because they are some of the lightest bikes on the market, made with high quality materials to make them easy to ride for young children.

First things first, buy them a bike that fits them now, not a bike that they can ‘grow into.’ Bikes aren’t jumpers. If the bike is too big then they won’t be able to ride it properly.

What to know

We have a Giant ARX 26 and a Decathlon 26in (can't remember model number- it was the highest model). Obviously for 2 different kids. The decathlon one has wider tyres. Both seem similar weight and size. Happy with both.” (Recommened by Mumsnetter PuttingDownRoots) Our verdict Usually in wheel sizes from 14 to 18 inches, first pedal bikes don't come with many bells and whistles. This stage is all about getting them riding, so you want a bike that's lightweight, a good size and really easy to use (avoid gears or double chains). Baskets, bells and other fun additions are, however, to be encouraged. Intermediate bike (20 inches plus) Avoid any sort of suspension until they’re almost in their teens as they won’t have the strength for the added weight. What is the best kids’ bike? Our forums have over 7 million users each month so we know that each product they suggest has already been tried and tested and will withstand the needs of a family, whilst also catering for a range of different needs, budgets and lifestyles. Expert advice

My DS had a Strider and it was great, not heavy at all and we did the same setup afterwards with his little sister.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user MWestie) Our verdict Moved from Frog to Vitus, really happy with the Vitus.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Nyancat) Our verdict As your child grows in confidence, the next size up in kids’ bikes will bring new challenges for young riders, so you’ll want a model that has a lightweight frame and easy to use gears and brakes. The Wild 20 Kids Bike has all of this and even comes with reflectors and a bike bell to help children learn how to ride a bike safely.As your child reaches the age of 5, it’s probably the right time to transition them over to something a bit more challenging than their first bike. It’s time, quite literally, to take the stabilizers off. The Hoy Bonaly, which is associated with Olympic legend Chris Hoy and named after one of his favourite off-road cycling spots, would be a great choice for a child that is no longer a beginner. And this intermediate option offers a mountain bike feel without over-complicating matters. The Hoy Bonaly’s short cranks and rigid forks provide support and control for smaller riders, while the semi-treaded tyres are designed to make off-road cycling that little bit easier. If you want a bike that your child can use on rougher terrains such as grass and uneven paths, this would be a great choice. Age range: not specified, but around 5 - 8 years | Max weight: 7.6 kg | Wheel size: 20-inch What we love The Woom 2 has been designed for children aged between 3 - 5 years, with a low sitting position, long wheelbase, light aluminium frame and 14-inch wheels that are robust for whizzing around the park on. The bike also comes equipped with easy-to-reach brakes so children can learn how to stop safely. This makes the Woom 2 perfect for children who have built up their confidence on a balance bike or are learning to ride for the first time. We also love the range of colours available. Learning to ride a bike is a huge milestone in a child’s life, and it makes sense to do your research and make sure you're choosing the best kids' bike to suit your child's needs. From those first moments of promising you won’t let go (when you secretly do for a full 10 seconds) to watching them head off on their own adventures, a bicycle marks a new relationship between your child and the world. Each of our kids’ bikes boasts a sturdy frame and high quality parts, while our selection of bike helmets helps to keep young cyclists safe. Boys and girls will love getting active with bikes inspired by their favourite characters, from Peppa Pig and PAW Patrol to Spider-Man and L.O.L. Surprise!
