Learning to ride a bike is sort of a right of passage in your childhood years. It doesn’t happen at the same age very every child but most kids will learn to ride a bike at some point. I remember how exciting it was to have the training wheels taken off of my bike and graduate to riding a two wheeler on my own. I also remember how scared I was! As a parent, I found the tips above to be really helpful in teaching my own children how to ride a bike.
Every child is different. It took my oldest quite awhile to get the hang of bike riding and to gain the confidence he needed to do it on his own. My youngest on the other hand practically taught herself and was riding on her own in no time.
Having the right bike can make a big difference in your child’s experience learning how to ride a bike. Schwinn SmartStart bikes available at Toys”R”Us make the perfect starter bikes. Here are a couple to choose from:
The Boys 16 Inch Schwinn Burnout SmartStart Bike is a great choice for beginners with it’s hidden benefits that make it easier for little ones to pedal and ride. Schwinn SmartStart bikes are designed with children’s proportions in mind for a good fit. The pedals are closer together, the handlebar grips are smaller and the seat is angled to make it easier to pedal. It’s important to get a good fit so that your child will be comfortable and enjoy riding to make learning more fun and less frustrating.
Schwinn has been building kids bikes since 1895 and with it’s limited lifetime warranty for as long as you own the bike, it’s a brand you can trust and feel confident in buying.
The Girls’ 16 inch Schwinn Jamboree Bike features the same benefits as the boys bike but has added features that might appeal more to girls. The handlebar basket allows your child to bring along her treasures or a drink/snack while the coordinating fenders and streamers give the bike some extra flair. This single-speed bicycle features a simple coaster brake and is designed for riders 38″=48″ tall.
Schwinn SmartStart Bikes have 16″ wheels, the classic learn to ride size. Toys”R”Us has the largest selection of 16” bikes for kids making it a great place to shop for a starter bike. Schwinn SmartStart bikes are lightweight for stability which makes it easier to balance and safer because it wobbles less. I love that care was taken to design the bikes to fit a child just right. When a SmartStart seat is raised to fit a growing child, the distance from the seat to the handle bars increases. This increases the reach distance and will allow the bike to grow with them. Schwinn thought of everything to make learning to ride a bike easier and more fun!
