I recently unpacked a shipment-thanks to all of you who are ordering!, and noticed that when I put the bike together that
the handlebars are adjustable as well as the seat. This was news to me as we purchased our bike assembled and had no
need to look at the instructions. We were aware that we needed to adjust seat height every so often as Charlie is growing
like a weed, but I never thought about the handlebars.
Well of course this makes sense! The handlebars will reflect
the height similar to the height of the seat. Now Charlie has never complained, but when I took a good look at his Strider,
I could'nt believe how low the handlebars were! Immediately we raised them and I noticed Charlie sit more comfortably
in his seat. He is so advanced by this time that I don't think it made a difference to him but I had realized that
lately, more often than n ot, he has been leaning over his handlebars-now I know why.
So in conclusion please be awarethat
height of seat is directly relevant to height of handlebars.
Hopefully it was just my error!
More to come soon
Happy
Striding!
P.S. Got to try the helmets/pads...awesome. In my next post will describe in detail how to fit a toddler
properly for a helmet. Please note our helmets are Bell-Motorcycle renowned.
