14 Inch Bike Size Chart
Use this 14 inch bike size chart when a child has outgrown a balance bike or 12 inch pedal bike but is not ready for a 16 inch bike. A 14 inch bike for what height question should start with child height, then be confirmed with inseam, lowest saddle height, brake reach, confidence, and whether the smaller bike is easier to control.

Sizing notes
Read the chart, then check the bike.
14 inch is an early kids bike size
A 14 inch bike usually describes wheel diameter for a small child bike. It is not a frame-size label and should be checked against saddle height, standover, reach, and control.
Use height and inseam together
Many 14 inch kids bikes fit around 95-110 cm rider height, but inseam and lowest saddle height decide whether the child can put a foot down and stop safely.
Control beats growth room
A first pedal bike should be easy to start, stop, and steer. If the rider is cautious, the smaller option can be safer even when the height chart suggests overlap.
Compare 16 inch only when ready
Move up to 16 inch only when the larger bike still allows safe starts, braking, turning, and saddle adjustment without stretching the rider.
