About Our 12-inch Bikes
A 12-inch bike is the perfect choice for your child’s first bike, suitable for up to 6 years of age depending on their height. Riding a 12-inch balance bike gives your little one the confidence to build their balancing skills. Plus, the small wheel size means that your child is closer to the ground to prevent injuries from happening.
Choose from a range of colourful bikes to suit all tastes, or for kids who love Disney, we even have a Frozen 12-inch bike. For future racers, we’ve got a Motorbike style balance bike that’s sure to impress their friends, or for more chic riders, check out the Pendleton Somerby Balance Bike with a cute miniature wicker basket.
Will a 12-inch bike fit?
Not sure whether a 12-inch bike is the right size? The best way to find the right size kids' bike is to use their height and age on our table to determine which bike is most appropriate for them.
12 inch bike FAQs
What age is a 12 inch bike suitable for?
Most 12 inch bikes are a good fit for kids around 3 to 5 years old, but it really depends on their height. If your child is starting to get the hang of riding and wants to move beyond a balance bike, this size is usually the way to go. It’s a nice starting point for building confidence on two wheels.
How big is a 12 inch bike?
The 12 inches refers to the wheel size, and these bikes are made small and light so little ones can handle them easily. They’re great for beginners — low to the ground, easy to steer, and not too heavy. Perfect for kids just learning how to ride.
