Schwinn 12" Toddler and Kids' Bike Training Wheel Replacement

Introduction

Training wheels are recommended for first-time riders during their learning process. They help children stay upright and learn to pedal a bicycle by providing extra support with two extra wheels to the side of the back tire. Sometimes they become bent or worn out and you might want to replace the set of training wheels for further use for a later time or another child.

This guide will show you how to replace worn or damaged training wheels and wheel arms for a Schwinn 12" Toddler and Child's Bike to facilitate a safer riding experience.
