Do they make training wheels for a 20 inch bike

Yes, 20-inch bikes with training wheels are made. Choose one only after checking rider fit and confirming the exact wheel or training-wheel setup is compatible.

What “20 inch” means here

The 20-inch measurement refers to the bicycle’s wheel size, not the child’s height or the height of the frame. Training wheels may come with a 20-inch bicycle, or they may be sold separately for installation on a compatible bike.

If you already own the bike, do not assume that any set marked “20 inch” will attach correctly. Frame shape, rear-axle arrangement, existing hardware and manufacturer restrictions can affect compatibility. Consult the exact bicycle and training-wheel manuals; if either is unclear, ask a qualified bicycle mechanic to inspect the bike.

Measure the rider before choosing the wheel size

Measure the child’s standing height and inseam while wearing the shoes normally used for riding. XBikes uses 48–60 inches (122–152 cm) and ages 7–12 as starting points for a 20-inch bike. Height is more useful than age, but neither replaces an individual fit check.

Have the child try the assembled bicycle rather than buying an oversized model for future growth. Check that the child can:

  • Stand over the bicycle with appropriate clearance.
  • Reach the handlebars without stretching or losing a stable posture.
  • Mount, start, steer and stop while remaining in control.
  • Reach and operate the brakes confidently, if the bicycle has hand controls.

A rider within the height range may still need another size because proportions, reach and confidence differ. Conversely, a familiar age label is not proof that the bicycle fits.

Compare the relevant 20-inch catalog options

These catalog options help answer the question because two have a verified 20 Inch SKU label, while the third illustrates why shoppers must check available size labels instead of relying only on wording in a product title.

XJD Kids Bike for Girls – Pink, 12/14/16/20 Inch with Training Wheels has verified 12 Inch, 14 Inch, 16 Inch and 20 Inch SKU labels. Its 20 Inch option directly matches the requested wheel size, and the exact title states that the model comes with training wheels.

Girls' Training Wheel Bike by XJD with Basket – Purple has verified 14 Inch, 16 Inch and 20 Inch SKU labels. Its 20 Inch option is also relevant to this question, and its exact title identifies it as a training-wheel bike.

XJD Light Purple Girls Bike with Basket, Training Wheels, 12/14/16/20 Inch mentions 20 Inch in its exact catalog title, but the supplied available SKU labels are only 12 Inch, 14 Inch and 16 Inch. Based on the supplied facts, it should not be treated as a currently selectable 20 Inch option. It is useful only as a smaller-size comparison point unless the catalog data is updated.

If you want to add training wheels to an existing bike

First confirm that the bicycle is actually a 20-inch model by checking its documentation or size marking. Then compare the bicycle manufacturer’s instructions with the training-wheel manufacturer’s stated compatibility. Do not improvise brackets, substitute unspecified hardware or guess at tightening requirements.

The supplied catalog facts describe complete training-wheel bike options; they do not establish that their training wheels can be transferred to another bicycle. For assembly steps, maintenance, load limits, hardware compatibility and torque values, follow the manual for the exact product or use a qualified bicycle mechanic.

Check the setup before every ride

After assembly, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to inspect attachment points, alignment and operating condition. Confirm that the child can start, steer, brake and dismount in a flat area away from traffic. Stop using the bicycle if the support hardware shifts, loosens, interferes with moving parts or produces uncertain handling, and have it checked before another ride.

A bicycle helmet must fit properly, sit level and have its straps adjusted according to the helmet manufacturer’s instructions. Training wheels assist with low-speed balance; they do not replace supervision, rider control, correct bicycle fit or a properly fitted helmet.

The decision to make now

If the rider measures near the 20-inch starting range and passes the stand-over, reach, braking and confidence checks, compare the verified 20 Inch SKUs of product 3108 and product 3117. If modifying an existing 20-inch bicycle, pause until its manual or a qualified mechanic confirms that a specific training-wheel kit and installation are compatible.
