Overview

Sizing a first bike to a small child is what this Schwinn does, with a low frame, a rear coaster brake and a front caliper brake. The seat adjusts as the child grows, and a training wheel, reflectors and number plate come with it.

A low, lightweight frame with an adjustable seat is the reason to look at it, so a toddler can reach the ground. The limitation is the size ceiling: the weight and age ranges are narrow, and the bike has one gear and no suspension.

Who it's for

Parents of children in the youngest age band get an easy-to-handle bike with a simple brake setup. Anyone with a child above the listed height or weight should move up a size.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Light frame for small riders
  • Quick-release adjustable seat
  • Coaster and caliper brakes
  • Number plate and reflectors included
Cons
  • Narrow height and weight range
  • Single speed only

Performance notes

A low frame lets a small rider put a foot down quickly, while the coaster brake stops the bike with a backward pedal push. The caliper brake on the handlebar introduces hand braking before the child moves to a larger bike.
