The best early riding bike you can get!
My son has had this bike for 1year and 9month now so I feel like I can give an honest review. In short: This bike rocks!
He is on the short side, 25th centile, but could size wise have moved in to this bike quite a few months before his 3rd birthday (I learned that when he finally got it and could try it). It is certainly for an EARLY rider. It did however rob me of the excitement to get to run behind him and holding him up and see him learn to cycle though. He'd had a decent balance bike for a year before but had never tried a pedal bike. But he cycled all on his own when I first let go of him only few yards away on our first outing. My jaw dropped! The key, I can only praise the light weight and the geometry making the bike manageable for a tiny person giving them confidence to actually cycle. Within a week I had to be on two wheels myself to keep up with him. The rest is history. He has tried several of his friends bikes, but I can say hands down that this bike enables him to climb steeper hills and maneuver much better with control. Exactly what you need when you learn to cycle! Even if your kid could just fit the 16" one I'd still recommend the 14" one to learn to pedal the easiest. Where he has to give up with heavier bikes he can keep going with this one. The brakes work great for tiny hands. He did not have a brake on his balance bike but seeing he could easily control the brakes gave me confidence to quickly let him cycle more independently.
