Any ideas for the kiddo who's outgrowing the Strider?

Any way to avoid a coaster brake? Are hand brakes demanding too much from small hands? I mean, she's used to no brakes on the strider anyhow...

Most 16" seem BMX-y, which I guess is better than looking like a road bike, but this one seemed about right except for the coaster.

My son just outgrew his SE Lil Wildman. No coaster brake, hand brake only. Was a good park/dirtjump style bike for him.

They also just outgrew and sold their bmx mini's, started them on those at age 4/5.

Used Mini's are a great way to go IMO. Also check out the Micro's if she's super small.

I think Specialized makes a 16" HotRock.

That Clearly bike is amazing!!

The lilshredder hardtail is cool too, but I will need some more proof of her dedication to biking as a lifestyle before dropping that kind of coin...crazy.
