Child's height
It is natural that bikes for adolescents and young children differ in size. Therefore, choosing a tricycle "Kid" for a child, you should focus on the age and body parameters of your own child. To stop at the best option, it is enough to pay attention to the following gradation:
- The child is 1-3 years old - a frame designed for the user's height from 75 to 95 cm. The diameter of the wheels in this case should not exceed 12 inches.
- 3-5 years old - frame designed for children from 95 to 115 cm tall. Permissible wheel diameter is 12-16 inches.

Wheels
Choosing a three-wheeled bike for very young children, it is recommended to stop on models with a handle that have rubberized tires. The latter are much more practical, softer and quieter on the go compared to plastic. In addition, such wheels can last much longer.
Choosing a tricycle "Kid", you should not give preference to plastic wheels for several reasons. Such products may crack if the bicycle is used carelessly. Moreover, their surface is quickly erased with regular movement on paved surfaces. At the same time, buying a children's bike with plastic wheels can cost an order of magnitude cheaper.

The opportunity to adjust the position of the handle is appreciated. Such functionality will allow parents to respond flexibly to the movements of the child without overworking their hands.
