That's a true statement ... but not in the way you think.
"Accelerating" is NOT necessarily the same thing as "speeding up".

Why does a child on a toboggan fall back when the toboggan is given a sharp tug?
A child in a wagon seems to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward because the force that is exerted on te wagon is greater than the force of the friction pushing the child forward while the wagon is accelerating forward. If the force was great enough or if the wagon were to continue being pushed with a constant or increasing force, the child would eventually fall off the wagon. If the wagon's surface had no friction and there was no wind blowing against the wagon but there was friction on the ground the wagon is rolling on, then the child would stay in the same position and would fall of the wagon if the wagon were to travel far enough. If the surface of the wagon had no friction, there was no other force stopping the wagon, then the child wouldn't move his position while the wagon wouldn't stop ever making it so the child had to eventually fall assuming the wagon is finite and doesn't go all the way around in a circle around a center of gravity.

A child riding a bicycle at 15 meters per second decelerates at the rate of 3.0 meters per second squared for 4.0 seconds what is the child's speed at the end of the 4.0 seconds?
Its 3.0 m/s acceleration = (final_speed − initial_speed) / time_interval Solve the above for "final speed." They give you all the other quantities, so just plug them in. (Remember that "deceleration" means the acceleration is negative.

Too Small Or Too Big?
If you are shopping for kids bikes, then take your kids with you. Let the child sit on the bike so that you can see where the feet will be when the child is riding. You don't want to get a bike that is too small because the child will not be able to pedal. Always get a helmet when you get a bike for your child. Knee and elbow pads are a good idea as well.
