Kiddo bike recommendations?

[TransplantedFromRMNP]

The boy needs a pedal bike! Probably should have put this in Tech Talk.

The Strider is a hit still but he's ready to move up. What have you guys found works well for your kids?

Any designs or brands that kick ass or any that I should avoid? Thanks mags!

What wheel size? What's your budget?

uh, one with pedals?

good time to point out if your kid is at the run bike stage don't buy a run bike, instead buy a pedal bike and take off the pedals/chain/crank and store them

when kid is ready for the pedals you just put the stuff back on the bike

I'd recommend the following if he is just is outgrowing the strider (or the 20" version if he is big enough)

Great bang for your buck (or spend big and go for a Spawn if you're rolling is spare cash)

If you're looking to go light, the Early Rider Belter 16 or 20 is awesome. Both my boys were riding the 16 in no time (moved up from a Strider). Hard at that age to get moving on a 20lb+ Walmart kids bike.
