Need some advice moms and pops. It's almost time to upgrade my four year olds balance bike to a peddle bike. We can't raise his seat anymore and he's wanting to go faster but can't use the crappy drum brake on his bike. Any advice on what a good upgrade should be?? Don't really want a Makro special but rather something designed for kids that's works well. I know LBS's will stock some bikes but looking for first hand advice.

Look at the Frog 43

Thanks for the info folks. Its amazing, my son has gone from riding his bike every other month to begging to ride it in the street EVERY day. Good sign i hope.

Strider days are clever. Awesome way to get your brand out there as well as getting the kids riding on a fun track

Must be a heap of fun BUT when you're using broom sticks for seat posts I think it's time to move from the little kids racing though...?

Hi Guys

Need some advice...
Looking to buy a bike for my 5yo daughter but looking to get something decent as heard the "Game & Makro bikes" are no good and fall apart in no time..

 

I also have a 1.5yo that will make use of it at a later stage

 

What are your suggestions?

 

TIA
