The Squish 18 is a good choice if your child isn't quite ready to move up to a geared bike. It has a long wheelbase to give confidence and easy-to-use 'child-sized' brakes that are perfect for smaller hands.

The Squish 18 is fitted with lightweight components, and our 6 year old tester was impressed when she reviewed this bike for us.

Small block tyres are fitted to give good grip on a variety of surfaces, so the Squish 18 can be used for fun in the mud too.

The YOMO 16 is a great choice bike if you're looking for something a little bit different for your child.  The brand only launched in winter 2023, so there's not many of these bikes around, so they're bound to get people talking.

YOMO is the brainchild of a dad of two who has worked for years in the kids bike industry, which you can tell from the attention to detail on the specification.

We've been sent a larger geared bike to review and we've been very impressed, and reckon this bike will get your child smiling and pedalling in no time!

They're also doing a stylish range of kids cycle helmets with a choice of both matt and glossy finish.

The Scott Contessa/Roxter 14 are great kids bikes suitable for young riders aged 3 to 5 years old.

The main thing to realise about the bike is that the rear brake is a coaster brake. This means that your child needs to pedal backwards to stop their bike. This will happen without them having to use the brake lever for the front brake.

Some young children struggle with brake levers and prefer the backpedalling motion, and can learn to use the single brake lever in their own time. However, do remember that they will need to learn to use two brake levers when they move onto the next sized bike.

Whilst the Scott Contessa/Roxter 14 bikes comes with stabilisers we'd recommend a balance bike instead if they're not ready to pedal just yet. However, if your child has additional needs and cannot ride a balance bike, then the Contessa/Roxter is a great option.

The BTwin Rockrider ST900 model is a generously equipped kids mountain bike with a new lightweight aluminium frame design paired with a Suntour XCT suspension fork with 50mm of travel to help cushion the lumps and bumps of forays through woods and forests.

Aimed at riders between the ages of 9 and 12, the ST900 takes the game a step further than its ST500 sibling, with the fitment of mechanical disc brakes front and rear for added stopping power, plus an 8 speed gearing system with a single chainring at the front for simplicity and operated with a Shimano Altus thumbshifter and derailleur.

The Rockrider ST900 also compares favourably with bikes carrying a higher price tag in terms of weight, coming in at 12kg including pedals.

The Van Rysel Triban 100 26” road bike is designed for children aged 9-12, or 135-150 cm tall.

The aluminium frame and fork is paired with a mixed Shimano and Microshift 7-speed drivetrain, providing a decent enough range of gears for most road cycling, alongside dual Tektro brake levers. This means there are two sets: one on the top of the handlebar, and another integrated into the drop bar levers. This helps riders progress from flat bar riding to drop bar riding with confidence.

The skinny 25mm B’Twin Resist 5 tyres offer efficient rolling and stability, while the bike comes complete with battery-powered lights, a bell and wheel reflectors. It’s also compatible with mudguards, a rear rack and a bottle cage, which you can add separately. A great starter road bike if all they're interested in is riding on tarmac.

Cuda Bikes went out of business in March 2023, so only limited new stock remains but they're worth hunting down second hand. 

The Cuda Trace 26 is a lightweight aluminium bike ideal for both on-road and venturing off-road to tackle muddy trails and comes fitted with the ever-popular Kenda small block 8 tyres. It's aimed at ages 8 years and over and is available in Blue, Orange and purple. 

In the Trace range, Cuda placed considerable emphasis on getting the contact points right with short-reach brake levers, correctly proportioned cranks and a correctly sized saddle.

The Cube Cubie 160 is styled on Cube's adult mountain bike range, so looks a lot more grown up than some other little bikes.

It's worth noting that this bike has a rear coaster brake, which means your child has to back pedal to stop. These brakes tend to be more popular in the US and continental Europe than the UK, but can be useful for children who aren't yet able to operate more traditional brake levers.

The Cube Cubie 160 comes with a rear mudguard to keep off most of the dirt and a chain guard to keep things clean.

The Wild 24 is certainly a lot of bike for the price, with the all-important Tektro short-reach brake levers sized for children's hands.

The gears on the Wild 24 are 8-speed (11-32T) with a single 32T chainset, which means they avoid the complications of lots of gears and a left-hand shifter you often get with cheaper kids bikes. The Wild 24 uses a thumb shifter to change through the 8-gears. It is available in 2 two-toned colours. 

This bike will be a significantly better riding experience than the hunks of steel that are sold in some of the cheaper stores.

The Kauri 26 is Pinnacle's do everything bike, designed to be at home riding to school, as well as forays into off-road adventure.

Features such as the single chainring and wide ratio 9 speed cassette gives a good spread of gears whilst keeping things light.

With off-road exploration in mind, the Kauri 26 also comes equipped with Clarks hydraulic disc brakes which should be reliable brakes with plenty of stopping power.

If you're looking for a first bike for your Cycle Sprog then the woom 2 is an excellent choice as it's one of the lightest 14" wheel bikes available.

When we reviewed this bike we were really impressed at how well it performed on the daily school run in all weathers and our tester loved how easy the bike was to ride.

One thing that’s great about the woom 2 is the different coloured brake levers, so you can tell your child to use the green brake and there’s no chance of them getting their left and rights mixed up. Clever!

The Jett 20 has all the features you'd expect to find on a quality kids bike, but also has the addition of two positions on the crank so you can move the pedals as your child's legs grow.

To help you size the bike for your child it comes with a nifty online Bike Fit tool. You key in your child's measurements and it will tell you where to position the handlebars, pedals and saddle for correct riding position.

This is all part of the attempt made by Specialized to keep your child on this bike for as long as possible - they claim it should last 30 months (or 3 summers depending on when you buy it) - obviously that does depend on how fast your child grows!

We like the Hornit HERO 20 for it's simplicity.

With just 3 easy to use gears, your child only has to remember uphill, downhill and flat.   Much easier than the 6 plus gears most kids bikes have, and the gentle introduction to changing gear that some kids need.

This bike also has a belt drive rather than a chain.   This means it's maintenance free so you don't need to worry about oily or rusty chains, something we know many parents are too busy to deal with!

The lightweight frame means this bike will be easy to manoeuvre - both for your child and you (if you need to get onto roof rack etc).

We've reviewed the smaller Hornit HERO 14 and were very impressed.

Hornit offer payment by Klana - allowing 3 monthly installments.

The Black Mountain PINTO is certainly a clever first bike! It's got a unique "growing frame" that means the bike grows with your child, allowing maximum use.

The PINTO is fitted with 14" wheels, but the sizing means it's designed to replace the need for a 12" and a 14" wheel bike.

Age wise it's designed to fit a tall two and a half year old, or an average 3 year old.

The PINTO can also start out in balance bike mode if your child hasn't quite mastered that stage of learning to ride yet, so you really can get the most out of this one bike.
