Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Make sure to get protective gear for your child. Accidents can and will happen, so be prepared for them.

    After mounting the child on the seat, hold on the bike for a while during the ride. Give them confidence. And then let go. Repeat this step as necessary.
