Video review: children's tricycles

The best bicycles with a handle for children from one year old in the budget category.

While the child is very small, special problems with the place of its movement does not arise - it is either a stroller, or a sled in winter. Well, with children a little older, parents are already starting to think. They were helped by bicycles of a special design, which are very well suited for children over one year old. The design usually has a special belay rim to prevent the baby from falling out of the seat. In addition, it is desirable to have a visor to protect from rain and create shade, so that the child can rest comfortably. Also, various toys and other devices that can arouse interest in a child are often attached to the steering wheel.

Advantages: Minimum cost

Manufacturer country: Taiwan

The birth of a child is a great happiness for the whole family. However, it is not a secret for anyone that with its appearance it is necessary to reshape the family budget. And if parents are limited in money, then it is quite possible to save some money on such a device as tricycle and opt for a model from Jaguar. Of course, this bike is not equipped in the best way, sometimes there are complaints about the quality of performance. But, nevertheless, this option is very popular with kids, and in some cases more than some models with a higher price tag.

Advantages: Most comfortable model

Manufacturer country: Israel

Dignity	disadvantages
Anatomically shaped chair with five-point harness On the steering surface there is a toy phone that can captivate the baby for a long time	The wheels are made of plastic, it will be harsh for a kid, and if you take into account the plastic box, it is quite noisy The quality could be better, the parts are not fitted very well, as a result of which the structure often creaks and rattles during operation

The name of the Israeli company that produces this model literally translates as "Smart tricycle", which perfectly characterizes their products. Of course, there are user complaints about the not always perfect quality, but almost everyone mentions that the design is ideally thought out. First of all, it is worth noting the assembly of the model, it will not take more than thirty minutes even for parents who have no experience. Next, we should note the convenience for parents. So, other models have a bag on the handle, but in this case it is much more convenient.

Assessment (2018): 4.7

Advantages: Excellent functionality and equipment

Manufacturer country: Germany (assembled in China)

The leader of this rating category is a model whose name immediately attracts attention. The appearance of the bike at first glance arouses interest, although the model belongs to the budget segment, it looks quite serious, convincing the buyer of the reliability of the design. However, the first impression is somewhat misleading. Users often point out the fact that the rims are made of plastic material. Although the design remains very reliable, stronger materials would be more desirable here.

Note…

Buying a bike is not as easy as it might seem at first. To make the right choice, we advise you to study the main parameters, which we will consider below.

1 For a very small child, choose a model with a canopy that can be adjusted so that the baby is protected from rain and bright sunlight. 2 Do not leave your child unattended. It is desirable that the visor has a viewing hole. 3 To keep your baby comfortable at all times, choose a vehicle that has a soft seat. 4 It is better if the bike has rubber wheels, because our roads are far from ideal, and plastic wheels will not be able to soften uneven surfaces. 5 If your baby is too independent, it is preferable to choose in which you can lock the steering wheel control. In this case, the parents will be able to control the speed and direction of movement. 6 And so that your purchase in a year and a half does not turn into unnecessary trash in the closet, pay attention to whether it is possible to remove the visors, the handle and the support for the legs. In this case, a grown up kid of 4-5 years old will be able to ride a bike himself.

The best bicycles with a handle for children from 1 year old in terms of value for money

V early childhood the cost of the toy does not matter to the child. He will equally rejoice at your gift worth 500 rubles and 5000 rubles. And yet, some parents prefer that their child has only the best things and toys, no matter what the price is. We advise such parents to pay attention to bicycles with a handle from the following review.

These bikes already have some extra bells and whistles, the cost here will already be significantly higher thanks to famous brands manufacturers, however, and the quality is also increasing. More expensive materials of better quality are used, the designs are well thought out, that is, this purchase will appeal to both children and their parents. Let's turn to the most popular representatives of this category.

Assessment (2018): 4.4

Advantages: Great option for the little ones

However, the model, which is in the third position of the comparative review, due to its design features, can be used for younger kids too. True, the model has a relatively low price tag and therefore does not pretend to have excellent build quality and ease of use, but users have no particular complaints.

Advantages: Better care for your baby's safety

Manufacturer country: China

The Chinese-made model, which is in second place in the ranking, is not far behind the gold medalist.

But this option can offer the best protection for the baby in the group. And the structure will be able to protect not only from falls or bad weather, but also from cars.

Advantages: Convenient universal model

Manufacturer country: Germany

The leader of our comparative review is a German-made model, even by its appearance, one can immediately determine that it is not cheap. Users praise the design for its superior quality and ease of assembly. A small flaw that I would like to note was noticed in the design of the model released in 2014. The rear axle was slightly bent, which caused a nasty squeak. In the future, this moment was finalized and now, buying new bike you needn't be afraid.

The best handle bikes for kids 2+

Of course, for kids who are barely a year old, we are not talking about cycling yet. After all, they have barely learned how to walk and pedal for them is still entertainment, which takes place under the constant supervision of their parents. Well, in this category of the rating, we will consider models that can be used for older kids, they only need to be slightly guided sometimes, basically they can already ride on their own. Such models, in comparison with those considered earlier, are already more simplified. They do not have any belts and safety arches, and there are no visors. Those. the models are as simple as possible and that is why they can be easily converted into ordinary bicycles without a handle, on which the child can ride for several more years.

Assessment (2018): 4.3

Advantages: Maximum comfort

Manufacturer country: Germany

The third position is occupied by a very controversial model. She seems to have all the necessary properties that will be useful for a baby of two to four years old. And at the same time, the price tag of the model is clearly too high. In the absence of any obvious outstanding advantages, the cost will be an order of magnitude higher than that of competing models.

Assessment (2018): 4.5

Advantages: Best Model for Girls

Manufacturer country: Germany

The manufacturer clearly intended this model from Germany for young ladies. More and more women are driving. And it is not surprising that girls at an early age are already striving to drive a vehicle.

The plastic basket, located at the back, is equipped with a special handle by means of which it tilts. For an older child, the game will be exciting.

The best handle bikes for ages 3+

As a rule, kids at the age of three can already ride a bike without the help of adults. However, some manufacturers offer grip models for this age category. True, the choice of such devices is not very large, and therefore there is only one representative in this review. So, we propose to consider it.

Advantages: Excellent equipment for a reasonable price

Manufacturer country: China

When looking at this model, one wonders why it is intended by the manufacturer for older kids. three years? After all, here you can find the main characteristic features of bicycles from the group discussed above, for babies over one year old. This is a protective visor, an arc of safety and other details. But in general, such an unusual purpose does not detract from the positive qualities of the bike.

Which children's bike to choose

When deciding what kind of children's bike is best to buy for your child, you should proceed primarily from his age. Despite the fact that most models "grow" with their small owners, you should not use one bike for more than 2 years. If a child loves cycling, he needs bikes with increased functionality, and for those who prefer quiet riding, it is also useful to change vehicles over time in order to learn something new.

When choosing a bike, pay attention to its age-appropriateness, the presence of characteristics necessary for your child personally, and the ratio of the cost and quality of the product. In the presented rating, the most popular and high-quality models are considered, on the basis of which you can make a good choice.

Features of children's bicycles under 7 years old

A child's bike should be of interest to the child and fit all the criteria that parents should pay attention to. First of all, this is the material from which it is made and the size of the wheels suitable for the age and height of the baby. Many mums and dads do not see the point in spending a lot of money on a children's bike and “overpaying for the company,” while the true price is the safety and health of your child. Manufacturers of high-quality children's bicycles take into account all the nuances so that the purchase will serve you for a long time and bring you only joy, and selling branded vehicles when the child grows up will be much easier than getting rid of an inexpensive Chinese bicycle.

The skeleton of young novice cyclists is still being formed, so saving on the child's posture and correct development calf muscles also not worth it. Depending on the developmental characteristics of the child, it is necessary to select a bicycle with a specific wheel size. To know which bike is better to buy, you need to focus on the following recommendations.

Bicycles for children from 1 to 3 years old

At the age of 3 years, the height of a child usually does not exceed 1 meter and, in accordance with this, the size of the wheels on the bicycle is chosen the smallest - less than 12 inches. For babies, tricycles, bicycles with a handle or scooter bicycles are most often made.

Bicycles for children from 3 to 6 years old

Bicycles with wheels 12 - 16 inches are purchased for children from 3 to 6 years old, when their height ranges from 100 to 115 cm. Wheels 14 inches in diameter can be found only on domestic stealth bicycles, while most foreign models do not have exactly this sizes, limited to diameters 12 and 16. Models are in most cases two-wheeled and there are already side small wheels.

Bicycles for children aged 7

For children from 7 years old and with a height of more than 115 cm, it is necessary to purchase two-wheeled models with a wheel diameter of 16 - 20 inches. As a rule, they no longer have training wheels on the sides. Here you can already find Mountain bikes and models with more speeds, front and rear brakes. Depending on the "stuffing", the price for such bicycles can be very different. It is worth noting that 18 inches is another intermediate wheel size that is available on bicycles from the same Stealth company. Obviously, most foreign firms do not have such a large selection of wheels, but it is quite possible that, unlike domestic ones, they will serve you more.

It is worth noting that if you want to save money on the purchase and buy a bike "for growth", you can, as an exception, buy a product with a large wheel diameter, but the frame should be suitable for the child so that there is no discomfort during the ride. One way or another, general recommendations on how to choose children's transport can be too vague, therefore, below in the article specific models of children's bicycles and their rating will be considered.
