Getting the right size bike is imperative and it's even more important on a kids bike. Children need their bikes to be the perfect fit so they can learn safely and in comfort.
Your child will need to be able to touch the ground with both feet, this is the best way to check that the bike is the correct height and suitable for their age. We've put together a handy guide to get the right bike size for your little ones and children who are growing up too soon! How do I measure my child for a bike? There are a few simple steps to follow to ensure accuracy when bike sizing for kids.Step One - Stand your child in their socks against a wall. Step Two - Place a book between their legs, as high as comfortably possible. Step Three - Move them away from the wall and measure from the top of the book to the floor. You can then use the table below or our calculator using these measurements to find the perfect size bike for your child based on their height and age. The minimum inside leg length refers to the saddle being at its lowest setting and the maximum inside leg length is the highest setting.
By choosing the minimum leg length, your child can grow with the bike and it may last a little longer in regards to fit. By ensuring you've got the correct sizes, your child will safely and comfortably be able to get their feet on the ground.
If you'd like your child to have a quick sit on a bike to see how comfortable they find it and if it's the correct fit for them, take a look at a local store near you on our Raleigh store locator and get in touch with them to see if they have the bike size you require. It's worth noting that even if the design isn't the same, it may be worth sitting on the size you think they need, as it will be a similar fit just in a different style.
