6 best bikes for kids

From children's bicycles in the first place is required not speed, but safety. For the smallest riders, manufacturers offer advanced three-wheel models in which parents can roll the baby, like in a wheelchair, by fastening the child with straps and closing it from the sun's rays with a visor. For children older than 3-4 years, you can already find more solid bikes with removable training wheels. Both those and others are presented in our today's review.
