Original 16" Big Wheel
Ages 3+

Razor DeltaWing Scooter
Ages 6+
Erynn: These scooters all the rage in our neighborhood--apparently an "upgrade" from regular scooters! Kids have to use a wiggling motion to operate the scooter, but stopping is simple with a hand-brake. They can either stand or squat down to ride, but either way, they're working plenty of muscles to get moving.

Erin P.: This is a great beginner bike! The parent push handle actually steers the bike and can be easily removed when a child is ready to ride alone.
Firmstrong Urban Girl Single Speed Beach Cruiser Bicycle
Ages 4 - 10
Kristy Pepping: If you are looking for a bike your kids can grow into, this is an investment, but worth it for the high reviews. This vintage-style bike comes in a 13-20-inch wheels and also comes in several colors.
Mongoose Legion Street Freestyle BMX Bike
Lisa R: For kids interested in riding ramps, jumping stairs, and other crazy stunts most moms would rather not think about, this BMX bike offers just enough features and durability to handle whatever they want to throw at it. For kids that want to enter stunt competitions or racing, you'll want a specialized model, but this one will get your kids wherever they want to go and ensure that they look cool along the way.
