18 Inch Girls Bike with Basket, Kickstand and Detachable Training Wheels, Purple
Lilac and white with a removable basket and a kickstand. The maker rates the 18 inch for riders 47.2 to 59.1 inches tall, an inseam of 20 to 24 inches, a saddle from 22 to 26 inches and 145 lb at the seat.
Four inches of seat, and where to start it
Set too high on day one
A saddle with four inches of travel gets set somewhere in the middle out of the box, and a child who cannot flatten both feet at that height spends the first week frightened of stopping.
Start at the bottom and work up
Drop the saddle to 22 inches for the first rides so both feet go flat on the ground. Raise it an inch once the child stops putting a foot down at every corner, and again after that. The top of the range is where the bike ends up, not where it starts.
The bike
A sturdy metal frame in lilac with a white basket on the bars, a sunflower and rabbit printed on the chain cover, a kickstand and two detachable training wheels.
The maker's dimensions panel
The row reads: 18 inch wheels, ages 4 to 8, riders 47.2 to 59.1 inches tall, a saddle of 22 to 26 inches, an inseam of 20 to 24 inches and 145 lb at the seat. The note under it asks you to measure the inseam and compare it with the saddle height.
Quick release, both ends
The saddle runs 22 to 26 inches and the bars 31 to 33 inches, set by a quick release device rather than a tool.
What is on this bike
Saddle 22 to 26 in
Four inches of seat post on a quick release device, against an inseam band of 20 to 24 inches.

145 lb seat capacity
The maker's published figure for this bike.

Who is this perfect for?
Riders 47.2 to 59.1 in tall
The maker's band, with an inseam of 20 to 24 inches against a 22 inch saddle floor.
Children still on training wheels
Two detachable outriggers, and a coaster brake that needs no grip strength while the hand lever is still too much.
Bikes that get parked
A kickstand at this size means the bike stands up outside a friend's house rather than lying on the grass.
What we stand behind
- The suitable age, rider height, inseam, saddle height, handlebar height, overall size and 145 lb seat capacity here are the manufacturer's own published figures.
- 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.
- The maker's note asks you to measure the child's inseam and compare it with the saddle height.
- No safety certification mark appears on this listing, so we claim none.
- Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
