Easter Gift Ideas That Actually Get Used

A 12-inch BMX is worth considering for a child around 90–110 cm tall. It can be a first bike with pedals for a young rider who is ready to move on from a balance bike. Start with your child’s height rather than age, then check the fit of the bike you choose.
Small wheels and a frame designed for younger riders make it easier for a child to start, turn and practise stopping. If they already enjoy rolling around on two wheels, a BMX gives them a new way to keep learning and having fun.
Check the recommended rider height for the model you are considering. Your child should be able to reach the handlebars and use the brakes comfortably. The 12-inch measurement refers to the wheels. TT means the length of the top tube of the frame.
| Rider height(cm) | Wheel size(inches) | Top tube TT(inches) |
|---|---|---|
| 90–110 cm | 12″ | 12″ |
Based on RMDBike’s size guide. Treat the chart as a starting point: the top tube length and recommended rider height can differ between individual BMX bikes.

In this category you may find two kinds of 12-inch bikes. A BMX-style balance bike lets a child push along with their feet and practise steering. A BMX with pedals adds pedalling and braking to the mix. Check the individual product before ordering, because the same wheel size does not mean the bikes work in the same way.
If your child is already confident on two wheels and wants to pedal, look at a 12-inch BMX with a drivetrain. If they are still learning to balance, a balance bike may suit them better. In either case, start with the recommended rider height and check how the child fits the model.
In the RMDBike size guide, around 90–110 cm is a starting point. Check the recommendation for the individual model and make sure your child can reach the handlebars comfortably.
No. Some are balance bikes that children push with their feet. Others are BMX bikes with pedals and a drivetrain. The product description will tell you which type you are looking at.
If your child can balance and steer confidently and wants to learn to pedal, it may be time to try one. Check that the bike fits and that your child can reach and operate its brakes.
Compare the recommended rider height and geometry of the individual bikes. If a 12-inch model feels too small, take a look at a 14-inch BMX. Choose a bike your child can handle comfortably now.
Yes, whether they ride a balance bike or a BMX with pedals. Choose a properly fitting helmet. Knee and elbow pads can also help while learning.
