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.

Evans Cycles website says "All products ordered from Evans Cycles come with a full warranty which covers manufacturing faults and defects in workmanship."

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.

The Black Mountain SKØG is a really clever bike designed to grow with your child.

It's got 16" wheels and an innovative "growing frame” designed for smaller riders, so you can skip the hassle and the expense of buying two bikes.

The SKØG is fitted with a maintenance and oil free belt drive rather than a traditional chain, to keep things easy and clean.

Age wise it’s designed for about 4.5 years up (102cm to 121cm height range) which could be until 7 years old (depending on growth rate.)

The SKØG can also be used as a balance bike if your child hasn’t quite mastered that stage of learning to ride yet, which will help speed up the "learning to ride" phase.

Our reviewer hadn't started pedalling when she got the SKØG - you can read our review of how quickly she became a confident cyclist here.

The Squish 24 is a good choice for a child who is doing a mix of riding on and off road, and wants a reliable bike they can ride all year around.

It has good quality components, easy to use gears and brakes plus tyres which are suited to all round general riding.

We've reviewed two different sized Squish Bikes in their range and our testers found them to be reliable and fun to ride.

The GT Stomper Ace 26 is a great way to get your kids out on the trail. With an 8-speed drivetrain using Shimano's Altus thumbshifter, a single 30 tooth chainset keeping things simple, and an 11-34 cassette, the GT Stomper Ace is off to a good start.

There's a set of mechanical disc brakes fitted and it comes with Kenda's Small Block Eight tyres which are a  good all-rounder.

If your child is ready for their first geared bike for your child you can't go wrong with the new YOMO 20.   This bike was only released in winter 2023, so is also great if you like to be a bit different to the crowd, but still want the quality associated with other more established premium kids bike brands.

We've been sent the YOMO 20 to review and not only were we really impressed with the specification and build quality, our reviewer is really enjoying the riding experience too, which at the end of the day is the most important thing.

YOMO also have a range of stylish kids bike helmets, with leather chin pad and a no-pinch magnetic fastener.

The Hornit HERO 24 is well worth considering if you're not really into bike maintenance.

The bike has a belt drive and an internal gear hub rather than the more common bike chain and external derailleur found on kids bike in the UK.

This means there's less to go wrong, and less oily bits to transfer onto clothing.

The three speed gears make it really easy to change gear - something many children struggle with.

We’ve not reviewed this particular bike, but we have reviewed the smaller Hornit HERO 14 and were very impressed.

Even better news is the HERO 24 is currently reduced and they now offer Klarna 0% which lets you split your purchase into 3 interest-free monthly payments.

Frog's smallest pedal bike is the 14" wheel Frog 40 (Frogs are named after the shortest leg length that the bike suits - in this case 40 cm).

It's a lightweight bike so it's easy for a child to ride, and has all the child-sized components that give parents peace of mind that their child is riding safely.

We've reviewed the earlier version of Frog's 14" wheel bike - the slightly bigger Frog 43 - and it got a thumbs up from our reviewer.

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get the Frog 40 for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for a bigger Frog.

The woom 3 weighs in at just 5.5 kg making it one of the lightest 16" wheel bike we've reviewed.   This is due to almost every part on the woom 3 being made from lightweight aluminium.

The bike can be upgraded to have a kickstand - ideal for neat storage and preventing the bike from getting thrown on the ground.

A nice touch is that the rear brake block and the rear brake lever both have green on them, so you can call out to your child to pull on the green brake - simple but effective!

Our 4 year old reviewer loved riding the woom 3 - you can read her dad's thoughts here.

Sadly Forme Bikes went out of business in March 2023, so new bikes are now hard to find.  However the good news is most of their warehouse was bought by Bike Club so kids can continue to ride these great bikes for years to come.  

The Forme Kinder MX24 is a versatile all-rounder of a bike that will be just as happy riding some trails at the weekends as it will be doing the daily school run.

It's light weight, which is really important as your child is likely to get more adventurous with their cycling at this age, and as they ride further they're going to have to deal with more steps, kerbs and other obstacles.

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get this great Forme Bike for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for another one (the bike, not the child!)

Boardman Bikes have been, until very recently, an adult  bike brand.  In Winter 2022 they launched a range of kids bike, and the Jnr 26" is the largest flat bar bike in the range.

They say it's "a premium adult bike, just in a smaller size" and the lightweight aluminium frame comes equipped with cable disc brakes.  There's mounting points for a rear rack and front and rear mudguards so you can tailor to the type of riding you're doing.
