Take a pair of his pants to the store with you. Compare the pant legs with the bike's rise from the ground to the seat.

Measure child's inseam, then arm length. However there is no
guarantee that if you take many measurements a bike will fit. Bikes
come in many styles and even a seat will be back a inch or two furher
on one bike than another. You must also consider the rate at which
children grow. The best bet for you is to take your child to the bike shop
where you'll be getting the bike, this could make a surprising and
wonderful adventure for the both of you and ther will be no disappointments.
I don't think any bike shop will be wanting you to return a bike for any reason.
Also consider a good used bike too, don't buy your bike from a Wal-mart
type store. Trust me on this subject I used to work in a bike and also
bought many a good used bike. Happy cyclying:)

If the child is in school, phone another school mum and ask what size bike their kid has and is it the right size. The bike shop may be able to help as well. Then you need a friend's place to stash the bike at and arrange a late night recovery the night before the borthday.

Take your child over to one of his friend's/relative's homes who have kids his/her age and let your child ride their bike. If it's perfect size, you know what size you need! If too big, get a size down, if too small, get a size up. And if you still don't end up with the right size, don't worry, you can just exchange it at the store after - keep that reciept!

Just a simple measurement of the childs inseem. Then measure from the lowest position of the seat to the pedals. It is best to get the largest bike possible so they can grow into it.

Ask your local bike shop about the necessary measurements for sizing the bike, then measure the child and tell the child you are going to get him or her clothes.

Measure the length from the center of the crotch to the bottom of the foot, and also the length from the shoulder to the palm of the hand. That way, you will not only know how far the seat should be from the pedals, but how far the seat should be from the handlebars. Measure from the seat top to the bottom pedal when it is in it's lowest position.

Minor ameliorations to that place could be made by potential of changing out the handlebar stem as quickly as the right physique extra healthful is ordinary.

measure your child and tell him its for an outfit, take the measurements to the store and ask the store clerk to help you pick one out for the appropriate height. You can also take another child his height with you and let him sit on it, which is what i did. Just dont tell the child who its for, that its just a present for someone. Toys r us may be a better place to get help.
