How to choose the right bike size

Start with measuring your child's inseam :

1. Ask your child to put on their shoes and stand up straight against the wall, touching it with their heels.

2. Then measure the distance between the floor and the top of his thigh. For more precision, you can press a book between your child's legs and measure the distance from the floor to the top side of the book (as in the image opposite).

3. In the table below, you can compare the height obtained with the saddle heights of our bikes.
