Because your child is a toddler, she should have a toddler-sized bike. If the bike is too big, your child won't be able to reach the pedals, so take her to pick out the bike when you purchase it. To determine if the bike is the right size: Help your child to get on to the bike. Have her stand above the top pipe of the frame with both feet on the ground. If she can do this comfortably, the bike is the appropriate size. Seat height is very important for proper pedaling. Begin by putting the bike seat at its lowest level so that your child can practice pushing the bike (rather than pedalling). Once your child is ready to start pedalling, adjust the seat so that it is consistent with your child's height. To determine the seat height, make sure that your child can reach the pedal with her whole foot when the pedal is the lowest position. It is very likely that your child will tip over or fall off the bike while she learns how to pedal. Because of this, a helmet is of the utmost importance. Fit the helmet so that when it is strapped to your child's head, it doesn't wiggle very much, but is also not glued to your child's head. The helmet should also sit levelly across your child's forehead.
