12 Inch Kids Bike with Basket, Bell and Detachable Training Wheels, Pink
A pale pink frame with tan grips and saddle and a black basket. The maker rates the 12 inch for riders 31.5 to 41.3 inches tall, an inseam of 18.5 to 19 inches, a saddle from 19.5 to 20 inches and 145 lb at the seat.
Half an inch of seat post
Buying a size up to make it last
The usual advice is to buy one size bigger so the bike lasts two summers. On this range that backfires: the 12 inch saddle moves half an inch and the 14 inch moves half an inch, so a bike bought too tall stays too tall.
Fit it now, move up later
Measure the inseam and match it to the wheel size whose band contains it. Here the wheel size is the fit decision and the seat clamp is only a fine adjustment, which is the opposite of how most kids bikes are sold.
The bike
A heavy duty metal frame in pale pink with a black storage basket on the bars, a tan saddle and grips, an enclosed chain guard 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 18.5 to 19 inches, a saddle of 19.5 to 20 inches and 145 lb at the seat. The note under it asks you to measure the child's inseam and compare it with the saddle height.
How far it actually moves
The seat range is 19.5 to 20 inches and the bars 26 to 27 inches. That is a short run, so this bike is bought to fit now rather than to be grown into.
What is on this bike
Saddle 19.5 to 20 in
A short range, so buy by the inseam rather than counting on growth.
Handlebar 26 to 27 in
The bars move about an inch alongside the saddle.
145 lb seat capacity
The maker prints the same figure against all four wheel sizes.
Two brakes
A short pull hand lever at the front and a rear coaster brake, chain fully enclosed.
Basket, bell and reflectors
A storage basket on the bars, a bell in the grip and a reflector at each end.

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 18.5 to 19 in.
Parents who measure first
The saddle range here is short, so the right wheel size does the work that adjustment does elsewhere.
Heavier riders
145 lb at the seat is more headroom than most bikes this size publish.
What we stand behind
- The suitable age, rider height, inseam, saddle height, handlebar height and 145 lb seat capacity here are the manufacturer's own published figures for the 12 in.
- 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 appears on this listing, so we claim none.
- Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
