There’s nothing more exciting than your child’s first bike adventure – but it’s not just about the bike! At Halfords, we know little riders need the right gear to stay safe, comfortable, and confident while having fun. That’s why our kids’ bikes and accessories bring everything together in one place – from helmets and hand mitts to bells, baskets, and lights. Whether it’s their very first set of wheels or an upgrade for bigger adventures, Halfords have all the kit to make it simple for parents and exciting for kids.
Less time shopping, more time pedalling – it’s a win for the whole family!
Infant (1 – 3 years)
For infants aged one to three, a balance bike is the perfect place to start. With no pedals, these bikes help toddlers scoot along at their own pace, building balance and confidence before moving onto a bigger bike. A popular choice is the Apollo Wizzer Balance Bike, designed with a sturdy steel frame, colourful animal graphics, and air-filled rubber tyres for a smooth and enjoyable ride. To keep them safe, the Halfords Blue Polka Dot Helmet is a perfect match, offering a lightweight design, removable pads for comfort, and air vents to keep little heads cool. With its spotty, eye-catching design, it’s a helmet they’ll love to wear.
Toddler (3 – 5 years)
When children reach the toddler stage at around three years old, they’re often ready to take on pedals. For little adventurers with big imaginations, the Apollo Firechief Kids Bike with 12-inch wheels is a fantastic option. It even comes with a siren on the handlebars and a toolbox on the back, while the fully enclosed chain guard keeps little legs protected and clean while they’re learning the ropes.
The Apollo Firechief Accessories Bundle completes the look, with a matching helmet, pads, mitts and bell, so your little one can ride safely to every rescue mission.
If a magical adventure is more their style, the Apollo Fairytale Kids Bike with 12-inch wheels is designed to sparkle. Finished in a pretty pink colour with fairy graphics, it comes with a basket and teddy holder so that their fluffy friends can travel along with them. Plus, it features removable stabilisers to help children build confidence at their own pace and the matching Apollo Fairytale Helmet, Mitts and Full Pad Set will keep them safe on every fairy-tale adventure.
Child (5 – 9 years)
For children aged five and above, a sturdier bike is the best choice. The Apollo Butterflies Kids Bike with 16-inch wheels is a great step up, featuring a grown-up finish with butterfly graphics that will help boost their confidence. It also comes with removable stabilisers and front and rear calliper brakes for full control for kids who aren’t quite ready to go down to two wheels. To add a touch of fun, Halfords Pink Ribbon Streamers can be fitted to the handlebars for a splash of colour while riding.
For safety, you can choose between the Kids Bike Helmet – Pink or the sportier Halfords Pink Two-Tone Skate Helmet, which is ideal for kids who like to visit the skate park as well as ride on the road.
For older kids who are ready to develop their skills, the Apollo Force Kids Bike with 18-inch wheels is the perfect option. Built with a tough steel frame, responsive brakes and rear stunt pegs, it’s ideal for riders looking to try out tricks and stunts. To keep them safe, the Halfords Black Kids Skate Helmet in size 48–54cm provides a snug and secure fit, with removable pads, an adjustable chin strap, and ventilation spots to keep them cool while they’re practising wheelies and other fun tricks.
