The Raleigh Pop 12 is a started kids pedal bike aimed at young riders aged 3 - 5 years old. It has an upright riding position, which some children find comforting when starting to pedal, helping them to master the basics of riding a bike.

This bike does come with stabilisers, although we recommend that if your child isn't ready to pedal you buy them a balance bike instead and save your money for a larger pedal bike in a few months time. Read more - Does my child need stabilisers?

The Specialised Riprock 12" is a small pedal bike featuring an aluminium frame and a steel fork so is reasonably lightweight. The tyres are nice and wide to give additional stability for your child.

The bike is aimed at ages 2 - 3 years old and is a good starter bike for a child who is ready to start pedaling and have already gained confidence on their balance bike. The stabilisers are easily removable, and may provide useful for children with additional needs who may not be able to use a balance bike.

The Specialized Riprock features a rear coaster brake, so your child only has to worry about learning to pedal backwards to stop (but will have to learn to use brake levers when moving up to a 14" wheel bike at some point).

The Trek Precaliber is suitable for children aged 3 - 4 years old, with a range of 91 - 102cm in height.

It has a useful handle on the rear of the saddle to allow you to guide your child as they ride and is available in blue and pink.

The frame is aluminium and the forks are steel, making this one of the heavier 12" bikes we feature at 6.98kg.

However, do remember this is still hugely lighter than the majority of 12" wheel kids bikes, which often come in well over 10kg in weight. It has a rear coaster brake, but no front rim brake and comes in two colour choices - blue and pink.

This bike has stabilisers which is useful for children who aren't yet completely confident with balancing, or for children with additional needs who may not be able to use a balance bike. Read more here - Does my child need stabilisers?

Built to be incredibly robust, fast and fun, Striders are used in balance bike racing the world over, as well as by children who just want to ride at a more leisurely pace.

The most popular model is the lightweight Strider Sport which is readily available here in the UK.

The Strider Sport weighs 3kg, making it easy for your child to ride and manoeuvre. It features mini-grips meaning little hands can easily take control and learn how to ride and balance on the bike.

The saddle goes as low as 28cm, which Strider claims is suitable for 18 months plus, but remember every child is different so measure them carefully.

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.

Woom have taken their fastidious approach to kids bike building and created a range of high quality mountain bikes for those in the market for a top end product.

Here we have the woom OFF 5 which is a 24" wheeled lightweight MTB, coming in at 8.6kg due to its specification comprising an aluminium frame matched with a quality carbon fork.

The nine speed gearing is provided by SRAM X5 shifters and rear derailleur, with an 11-34T cassette matched to a 28t chainset designed for kids so the crank arms are of an appropriate length.

Stopping won't be a problem as the OFF 5 is fitted with Promax hydraulic discs that feature 140mm diameter disc rotors front and rear.

If the rigid fork woom OFF 5 isn't quite what you're looking for, this MTB can also be purchased with an air fork giving 80mm travel and which comes fitted with a 160mm front disc rotor. This version is known as the woom OFF AIR 5.

BTwin are the in-house brand of kids bikes at Decathlon, and they come in a range of prices and specifications.

The Rockrider ST500 24 inch is one of their steel framed entry level mountain bikes, suited for gentle riding on or off road.

The gearing is 18 speed (which can be more confusing than 6 or 7 gears due to needing to use both hands to change gear).

The v-brakes should be plenty good enough for gentle off roading in fair weather, and the bike has front coil suspension to smooth out some of the bumps on the trail.

The front wheel is quick release, to help with transporting and maintenance, and the tyres are designed for gentle off roading.

Given it's such a cheap MTB, the BTwin Rockrider offers a really good value entry level mountain bike, that should provide plenty of scope for fun during summer riding.

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.
