18 Inch Kids Bike with Adjustable Handlebar and Seat for Ages 4 to 8, Light Blue
The saddle starts at 24 inches on this size, which is the figure to weigh against your child's leg before anything else. The maker's chart puts the 18 inch at ages 4 to 8, riders 47 to 59 inches tall, an inseam of 21.5 to 25.5 inches and a 99 lb seat capacity.
Handed down to a younger sibling too early
The bike that waits in the garage
An 18 inch passed down from an older child often arrives years before the next one can reach the pedals. It sits unused, and when it is finally ridden nobody rechecks the fit.
Set it by the inseam, not the hand-me-down date
The saddle bottoms out at 24 inches here and the maker asks for a 21.5 to 25.5 inch inseam. Re-measure before the first ride and drop the saddle all the way down to start.
What it looks like
Pale blue on carbon steel with brown grips and saddle, a white basket on the bars and training wheels fitted at the rear axle.
The 18 inch row
Ages 4 to 8, riders 47 to 59 inches tall, an inseam of 21.5 to 25.5 inches, a saddle of 24 to 28 inches and a 99 lb seat capacity.
How much it grows
Four inches on the saddle and two and a half on the bars. Keep the seat post above its minimum insertion mark whatever height you settle on.
Stopping and staying clear of the chain
A front hand brake with a short lever pull, a rear coaster brake worked by back pedalling, and a chain that runs inside a closed guard.
What is on this bike
Saddle 24 to 28 in
The 24 inch floor is what decides whether this size fits.
Handlebar 30 to 32.5 in
Bars that rise with the seat keep the reach sensible.
Hand brake and coaster brake
Lever at the front, back pedal brake at the rear.
Training wheels included
Unusual at 18 inches, and useful for a late starter.
Basket and bell
A removable basket and a bell within thumb reach.

Who is this perfect for?
Riders with a 21.5 to 25.5 in inseam
The maker's band. Below 24 inches expect tiptoes at a stop.
Children moving up from a 16 inch
The saddle range picks up where the 16 inch runs out, so it is a small step.
Late starters
Training wheels are still supplied at this size, which not every 18 inch does.
What we stand behind
- The age band, rider height, inseam, saddle height, handlebar height and 99 lb seat limit are the manufacturer's own published figures.
- The maker shows ASTM and CPSC or CPSIA marks on its own product panel. That is their claim, repeated as such, with no certificate number.
- 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 a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
Frequently asked questions
How low does the saddle go?
24 inches, rising to 28 inches. An inseam under 24 inches will leave the rider on tiptoes at a stop.
What age is this size for?
The maker says 4 to 8 years, but the rider height of 47 to 59 inches is the more reliable guide.
Does it have training wheels?
Yes, two removable training wheels bolt to the rear axle. The 20 inch in the same range does not have them.
How much assembly?
95 percent pre-assembled according to the maker. Fit bars, pedals, basket, bell and training wheels, then check everything is tight.
