How do I choose the safest bicycle for my child?

To choose the safest bike for your child, just like a helmet you go with your child to the bike store and you have them try every single bike that you feel comfortable that you can afford, that you can feel comfortable purchasing. Have them sit on it. You want to make sure that your bicycle that you're buying from has the mechanic check it out before you buy it. Make sure it fits your child and make sure your child can work the breaks. Talk to your child. Are they comfortable with hand breaks or are they feeling better with peddle brakes? You want to make sure your child is comfortable with your purchase. Don't buy them a bike because it's the cheapest one in the store and don't by them a bike because it's the most expensive one in the store. Talk to your child. Let them be the decision maker (with some judgment from you) on what bike is best for them.
