The Frog 73 is a good all round bike which will be happy on most terrains so ideal for children who ride anywhere and aren't specializing in any one particular kind of cycling.
It has an 8 speed Shimano gear system operated by thumb shifters and having an 11-32T cassette, which should be good for all but the steepest hills.
The larger Frog bikes have lost the childish branding of the smaller bikes, so should appeal to an older audience. However if you have a shorter but older child in their teens don't be surprised if you find some resistance and the desire to move onto a more "adult" brand, as Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand.
Subscribe to the Bike Club and get the Frog 73 for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for a bigger Frog.

Giant are one of the biggest bike brands, and the Giant ARX 26 is their largest geared kids bike. It's a good all round choice for commuting to school, riding to meet friends at the weekends and perhaps a little bit of off roading too.
Giant use a lot of their own brand components on the bike to keep the costs lower, and whilst they don't provide weights for their bikes we know from reviewing a smaller bike in the range that it's comparable to the competition.

Frog have three 26" wheel hybrid bikes, and the Frog 67 is the smallest, and is for children with an inside leg measurement of 63cm-76cm.
It's a versatile bike which rides well on most terrains so is a good choice for anyone who isn't really specialising in one particular type of cycling.
One word of warning - Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand, so if you have a shorter but older child (particularly an image conscious one in their teens) you may encounter the desire to move onto a more "adult" brand.

The Frog City 67 is a good bike to consider if your child cycles on roads and cycle paths in a town or city.
A city bike has a more upright riding position, step through frame and accessories such as kickstand, full length mudguards and pannier rack which make daily riding easier than with the hybrid style of most kids bikes.
The rear pannier rack can carry up to 25kg which should be more than enough for school books, sports kit, musical instruments etc.
The bike weighs in at 9.61kg without the accessories and 11.01kg once the mudguards, kickstand and rack are all added.
