Training wheels are mounted on the rear axle of a bicycle, with most models designed to fit most youth bikes. As every kid is different, a good way to confirm your child’s training wheels are fitting properly is to ensure that their feet fully reach the ground and are flat when they’re seated. For a more precise fit, set your child’s bike seat 1 - 3 inches higher than their inseam measurement.
Should I buy pedal blocks for my kids' bike to make pedaling easier?
While pedal blocks can elevate the pedal height for smaller riders trying to reach them, it’s always recommended to find a bike that properly fits your child’s height without the need for blocks. A bike seat with adjustable height settings is a great way to ensure the best fit for your child’s size.
What bike accessories might my boy or girl like for their new bike?
When it comes to outfitting your kid’s bike with accessories, there are plenty of options for both boys and girls, from safety gear to fun additions. A bike bell or horn is not only a toy that adds some personality to a kid’s bike, but they can also help teach safe riding when used properly. Other accessories include helmets, training wheels, protective pads, front bike baskets, handlebar ribbon streamers, coloured spoke beads, battery-powered lights and much more.
