To give the baby the opportunity to walk, holding a little run between the legs. It is best to do this at home so that the child is accustomed to this transport. It is necessary to adjust the height of the saddle and the steering column, fitting them to the height of the child.

Metal runbike
There are several options for such vehicles for kids. They can be made of wood and plastic. Let's see what a children's bike is made of metal.
It looks like a bicycle, but without a pedal system. Such a runner on two or three wheels can serve a child from the age of two and several seasons in advance. This will be thanks to the adjustable saddle height. The frame in these balance bikes is made entirely of aluminum. Thanks to this, the transport has a small weight, but at the same time it is very durable.
There are models that are equipped with shock absorbers to cushion shock in case the road is rough. And in some models there is even a hand brake.

Dimensions
A motorcycle bike for children should be selected with care, so that the model perfectly matches the growth of the baby and his physique. Parents should pay attention to the fact that in specialized children's stores you can find instructions that will tell you how to choose the right motorcycle-runner for children of two to three years.
It is necessary to measure the length of the baby’s legs from the groin to his feet when the baby is standing.
Now you should compare the figure with the one that indicates the height of the saddle. If it, that is, height, can be adjusted, you need to pay attention to its minimum value.
If the length of the legs of the little one is longer than the height of the saddle at a distance of one to five centimeters, you can safely buy such a bike for your child. If the figure is different, then it is better to find the model a little lower.
Another indicator that is useful when choosing a runbike is its carrying capacity. It must support a weight that exceeds the baby’s body weight. After all, the child will grow up quickly, and the bike is bought for more than one year. This is especially true for those models that have adjustable steering rack and saddle.
