Product Information

Try to put aside ideas of getting more for your money. You’re better off with a simple bike that does one job well. You can add on baskets, panniers and bells later on. Material – steel and aluminium are the most commonly used materials for bike frames. While steel is stronger, aluminium is lighter

As your child reaches the age of 5, it’s probably the right time to transition them over to something a bit more challenging than their first bike. It’s time, quite literally, to take the stabilizers off. The Hoy Bonaly, which is associated with Olympic legend Chris Hoy and named after one of his favourite off-road cycling spots, would be a great choice for a child that is no longer a beginner. And this intermediate option offers a mountain bike feel without over-complicating matters. The Hoy Bonaly’s short cranks and rigid forks provide support and control for smaller riders, while the semi-treaded tyres are designed to make off-road cycling that little bit easier. If you want a bike that your child can use on rougher terrains such as grass and uneven paths, this would be a great choice.The Woom 2 has been designed for children aged between 3 - 5 years, with a low sitting position, long wheelbase, light aluminium frame and 14-inch wheels that are robust for whizzing around the park on. The bike also comes equipped with easy-to-reach brakes so children can learn how to stop safely. This makes the Woom 2 perfect for children who have built up their confidence on a balance bike or are learning to ride for the first time. We also love the range of colours available. Measure your child’s inside leg accurately to get an idea of where to start. Get them to stand close to a wall, put a book between their legs at the very top of the inner thigh and make a mark on the wall where the top edge of the book lies. Then measure from the mark down to the floor.

If you’re on a budget, you can walk into a bike shop, get lots of good advice from specialised sales people and walk away with a bike that won’t break the bank. If you’re after a first bike for your toddler, you’re looking at a choice between a balance bike and a bike with stabilisers. These come in small 10- or 12-inch wheel sizes but offer two very different methods of learning to ride. The bike is pricey but it will hold its value, so if you can afford the initial outlay, it will be a worthy investment. If you're looking for a great bike with a lower price, the Carrera Cosmos is Mumsnetters' best value kids' bike. How we chose our recommendations Recommendations from real parentsAge range: not specified, but around 5 - 8 years | Max weight: 7.6 kg | Wheel size: 20-inch What we love Whichever bike you choose, safety is key. So beyond our range of kids' bikes, you’ll also find a range of bike accessories as well as bike helmets and kids cycling clothes to make sure that you have everything you need to keep them safe on two wheels.

The children rode the bikes on both grass and concrete, and we noted how they performed on each surface in terms of speed and braking. We also noted if the brakes were practical for smaller hands. We have 14 inch and 16 inch Woom bikes which are really brilliant little bikes. Light as a feather. My 2 learnt to ride in no time on them and don't struggle up hills, brake confidently etc. They have quite an upright position which is great for encouraging confidence in beginners. I'm just wondering myself what to get for a 20 inch bike but we couldn't have been more pleased with the Wooms.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user HorseInTheHouse) Our verdict Key specs – Approx age: 3-4; Wheel size: 14in; Number of gears: Single speed; Weight: 6.4kg; Tyre width: 1.75in (off-road tyres); Stabilisers included: No

Frog and Isla bikes are the best on the market but I would recommend a Wild bike. They are made by go outdoors and they are brilliant. They are very almost as good as frog and Isla bikes in terms of weight and components, and so much cheaper.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnetter CheriLittlebottom) Our verdict
