12 Inch Girls Bike with Basket, Bell and Training Wheels, Pink
The smallest size in this range, in pink with a white basket and mudguards. The maker rates the 12 inch for riders 31.5 to 41.3 inches tall, an inseam of 16.5 to 20 inches, a saddle from 17.5 to 21 inches and 110 lb at the seat.
When the training wheels stop helping
Outriggers that teach the wrong thing
Training wheels hold a bike upright, so a child learns to pedal and steer but never learns to lean. That is why the first ride without them so often looks like starting over.
Take them off early, and low
Both wheels unbolt. Drop the saddle to the bottom of its range so the child can put both feet flat, take the training wheels away and let them scoot and glide first. The pedals go back into the story once they can balance for a few metres.
The bike
A pink metal frame with a front basket, a padded saddle on a long seat bar, mudguards over both wheels and two detachable training wheels.
The maker's size table
The 12 inch row reads: riders 31.5 to 41.3 inches tall, an inseam of 16.5 to 20 inches, a saddle of 17.5 to 21 inches and 110 lb at the seat. The note under it asks you to measure the child's inseam and compare it with the saddle height.
Two clamps, two heights
The saddle runs 17.5 to 21 inches and the bars 25.5 to 28 inches, each on its own clamp. Set the saddle by the inseam first, then bring the bars to where the hands fall.
What is on this bike
Saddle 17.5 to 21 in
The maker's range for this wheel size, set at the seat clamp.
Handlebar 25.5 to 28 in
The bars adjust separately, so the reach can be set after the saddle.
110 lb seat capacity
Published against this row of the maker's size table.
Basket, bell and mudguards
A front basket, a bell on the bars and mudguards over both wheels, all fitted from the box.
Reflectors at both ends
A reflector at the front and one at the rear, so the bike is visible at dusk.

Who is this perfect for?
Riders 31.5 to 41.3 in tall
The maker's height band for this wheel size, against an inseam of 16.5 to 20 in.
First time riders
Two detachable training wheels, a coaster brake that needs no grip strength and a hand lever sized for small fingers.
Wet pavement
Mudguards over both wheels are the reason a puddle does not end the ride, and they are fitted rather than sold separately.
What we stand behind
- The suitable age, rider height, inseam, saddle height, handlebar height and 110 lb seat capacity here are the manufacturer's own published figures for the 12 in.
- The manufacturer prints ASTM International and CPSC with CPSIA marks on their own size panel. We repeat that as their claim and quote no certificate number, because none is published.
- 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.
- Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
