Woom has been pushing the weights and geometry of kids bikes for a few ears now. It's hard to believe, but each iteration of the various models keep getting better. With the Woom 4 we see things like an adjustable reach stem that grows the bike with your kiddo. A lot of time and effort...
There are not a lot of quality options for parents who are looking for balance bikes when their kids are older than 3 and/or a 12″ balance bike is simply too small for them and they are not ready for a pedal bike. Consequently, many parents head to bikes with training wheels/ stabilizers. We totally...

Like the other Woom bikes we have tried, the Woom 2 exceeded our expectations. Woom thinks of everything in this 14 inch wheel design and the details shine.

Islabikes exude quality and craftsmanship. This UK brand made its way to the US a few years ago and started the stampede of quality kids bike manufactures. They saw the need early and have flushed out a line of kids bikes that even the most discerning Mom and Dad bike snob can be amazed by....

This Bike jumps to a top pick.
