I have always functioned as the family bike guru, but now my 4 1/2 year old grandson needs a bike and I am out of my league. I do know that the bike his parents bought - a 12" wheel model - is too small. They thought being close to the ground was safer but he can't extend his leg enough. I think he will feel safe when he develops a sense of balance. I also think training wheels should be skipped or limited to a month or so. If I were buying I would put him on the smallest 20" wheel bike I could fit him on and spend a lot of time in the traditional run behind mode.
No doubt some of you have taught a child to ride since I have - 35 years ago. Any learned wisdom welcomed.
