Why first bikes go back in the box
Age on the label, not inseam on the child
A 12 inch is bought because a child is three, the child sits on it and cannot get both feet down, and the bike is boxed up again. Age bands are an average of a lot of different children.
Measure once against the saddle floor
This saddle drops to 17.5 inches and the maker asks for an inseam of 16.5 to 18.5 inches. Stand the child against a wall, measure crotch to floor in socks, and if that number is at or above 17.5 inches they can flatten both feet at the lowest setting.
The bike
A black and khaki heavy duty metal frame with a black wire basket on the bars, an ergonomic saddle and two detachable training wheels.
The maker's size table
The 12 inch row gives riders 31.5 to 41.3 inches tall, a saddle of 17.5 to 19.5 inches, an inseam of 16.5 to 18.5 inches and a 145 lb seat capacity. The panel asks you to measure the inseam and compare it with the saddle height.
Both ends move
The saddle covers 17.5 to 19.5 inches and the bars 26.5 to 27.5 inches. Raise them together so the rider stays upright and the brake lever stays under their fingers.

What we stand behind
- The age band, rider height, inseam, saddle height, handlebar height and 145 lb seat capacity are the manufacturer's own published figures.
- No helmet is included. A helmet belongs on every ride, and eight Canadian provinces have helmet legislation, three of them for riders under 18.
- This is a bike for supervised riding on paths, driveways and parks, never on a road.
- No safety certification mark is shown on this listing, so we claim none.
- The listing title says 3 to 5 years while the maker's own size chart gives the 12 inch as 3 to 4. The chart figure is published here.
- Ships from our Canadian or United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
