What size helmet should I buy for a toddler?

Measure the head circumference of your child to determine the size helmet that fits them best. Every helmet will have a head circumference range on the packaging. Match that range to your child’s head for a proper fit. For a toddler, the most common head circumference range is between 51 and 53 cm.

How old does a child have to be before they can ride a chopper tricycle?

By age 3, a child’s gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination have developed to where they can push pedals and maneuver handlebars. Also, consider the height of the child and the size of the riding toy. Chopper tricycles have one large wheel in front and two smaller ones in the back, and since they are lower to the ground with a more stable base, they may work best for toddlers who are just getting started with a pedaling toy.

What features should I look for when buying a tricycle for a child?

Look for a sturdy tricycle ideally made of metal. Adjustable features will allow the child to grow with the tricycle as they learn to ride a bike. Look for adjustable seats, pedals, and handlebars. Make sure the child is tall enough for the bike. Choose the appropriate size based on their height. Make sure the tires are true rubber with spoked wheels.
