Sizing A Child, The Frog Way!
In contrast to many kids' bikes, Frog bikes are sized by the leg length rather than age, as this is the most reliable way of getting the right size of bike for each child. Age alone isn't a reliable measure as there is a large spread of "normal " leg lengths & heights for each age.
- Stand the child in socks against a wall
- Place a small book between their legs, as high as is comfortable
- Ask the child to move away and measure from the top of the book to the floor.
Once you have measured the inside leg, use the table below to find the right size of bike for your child. Please note we give the AVERAGE inside leg length for each bike, with the saddle at its lowest setting (please be aware there is tolerance on each side of this).
At this height, the child will safely and comfortably be able to get their feet on the ground. Don't worry - Frog Bikes have long seat posts, so the saddle can be raised a long way as the rider grows.
This method of measurement is intended as a guide and we recommend you call into our shop to be correctly sized up, all bikes ordered instore will receive a comprehensive safety check, followed up with a 6 week check over and ongoing support should any problems arise at a later date.
