The woom 5 has a slightly more of an upright riding style than some other kids bikes and can be fitted with a kickstand and mudguards (available to buy seperately) making it good for regular commuting all year round.

However, it also has Kenda small block tyres and 8 Speed 29 T by 11-32T gearing (operated by a SRAM X4 Twist Grip) which makes it fun to ride off road too and has the gearing to get up some quite steep hills.

We've reviewed a couple of the smaller Woom Bikes and were incredibly impressed with the quality and attention to detail. If you think of an Austrian bike built with the same quality and attention to detail as Islabikes, then you can understand why this bike isn't cheap, but is well worth the price tag.

The Squish MTB 26 is Squish's 26" wheeled mountain bike with a 13" frame aimed at kids aged 9+.

The MTB 26 comes with a range of features now common-place on quality children's bikes, such as, a tuneable air suspension fork, disc brakes and a lightweight, aluminium frame.

The disc brakes are of the mechanical variety, which means you get plenty of reliable stopping power, but with minimal maintenance.

At the front end, suspension duties are taken care of by SR Suntour XCR-LO air fork with 100mm of travel, perfect for most XC forays.

The drivetrain is provided by a Shimano 8 speed 11-32T cassette paired with a 32T chainring mounted to a 152mm crank.

The MTB 26 comes in at 12.5kg, which is on the heavier side within the world of lightweight quality children's bikes, but it is still a very respectable weight considering it features a suspension fork.

The Squish 26 comes with a 13" frame for those with a minimum inside leg of 67cm, and a 15" frame for those slightly taller (with a minimum inside leg of 70cm).  The bikes have been designed to appeal to older kids. 

The range of 8 gears should be sufficient for most lumps and bumps and the tyres will be fine for a variety of terrains, although if you're thinking of mainly doing mountain biking Squish also do a 26" wheel MTB.

We haven't reviewed this particular bike, but we have tested two other Squish bikes and found them to be good quality, lightweight bikes that are great fun to ride.

The Squish 18 is a good choice if your child isn't quite ready to move up to a geared bike. It has a long wheelbase to give confidence and easy-to-use 'child-sized' brakes that are perfect for smaller hands.

The Squish 18 is fitted with lightweight components, and our 6 year old tester was impressed when she reviewed this bike for us.

Small block tyres are fitted to give good grip on a variety of surfaces, so the Squish 18 can be used for fun in the mud too.

Frog's experience in building kids bikes shows as they are offering two 26" wheel mountain bikes, as kids aren't all the same size!  The Frog MTB 72  is the larger of the two bikes, suited for those older kids who have an inside leg of 72cm.

Frog Bikes have designed a lightweight frame specifically for junior riders, to increase stability whilst improving control, and the frame comes with a 5-year warranty.

The Tektro junior specific hydraulic disc brakes make it easy for smaller hands to brake whilst remaining control of the bike.

All the Frog mountain bikes come with junior specific air suspension forks, complete with lockout and damping control, to enable optimal performance for lower weight riders,  with 100mm of travel on the two 26″ wheel bikes.

Our 10 year old reviewed the Frog 69 MTB over the summer of 2018, so can you find out exactly what we thought of the early iteration of the smaller version of this bike.

The Frog MTB 62 has a specifically designed junior specific air suspension fork with lockout and damping control, a lightweight oversize handlebar and stem plus easy-reach junior specific hydraulic brakes.

The Shimano rapid-fire 9-speed shift lever is an easy to use way to move the chain.

When we reviewed the slightly larger Frog MTB 69 our only complaint was with the supplied tyres, but the later versions have been upgraded to have a bespoke mountain bike tyre which is much better for off road riding.

The Frog Road 70 is a good bike if your child is racing cyclocross or triathlon, as well riding on road, as the frame has enough clearance to fit wider cyclocross tyres as well as slick road ones.

As well as integrated short reach brake levers the Frog Road 70 is also fitted with additional levers on the tops of the handlebars.  This is useful for children who are just progressing to drop handlebars and skinny tyres, as it can be a big step to spend all (or even any) of your time on the drop handlebars.

The Cube Cubie 180 is inspired by Cube's larger junior mountain bikes and is a good choice for a child who is desperate to go mountain biking, but not quite ready to move up to a 20" wheel geared MTB.

It's fitted with proper off road tyres and has small brake levers to help make stopping easy, and at just 7kg it's light enough for them to ride and you to lift / carry at the end of the ride.

Frog had a revamp of their 20" wheel bike range, and the Frog 53 was the brand new model for 2022 that replaced the old Frog 52 and Frog 55.

Instead of having to worry about which size to buy, this new model is designed to start small and has room for growth.

For most children this will be their first time using gears on a bike, and you want it to be as easy as possible.

The Frog 53 has 8 speeds which are accessed using an easy reach thumb shifter.

The range of gears is good enough to get up most hills, and if it does get a bit too steep the bike is lightweight enough to hopefully allow your child to keep on pushing (although we can’t promise this – and if you do end up carrying it you’ll be pleased that it only weighs 8.15kg)

We reviewed one of the very first Frog 20" wheel bikes  to be released years ago, and were very impressed by the comfort of the ride, quality of the bike and it’s longevity.

Since then Frog have continued to improve on the specification,  and we see no reason why the new Frog 53 won't continue in that tradition, making it a great choice 20″ wheel geared bike.

The Frog 47 is a brand new bike for 2022. We think this single speed, easy to ride bike is going to be popular with children who are too tall for a standard 16" wheel pedal bike, but don't have the ability yet to move onto a bike with gears.

The Frog 47 has a minimum inside leg of 47cm and comes with all the features you'd expect from one of the best known premium kids bike brands.  This includes a lightweight aluminium frame, grippy tyres and child proportioned components.

We've not reviewed this particular Frog bike but we have reviewed a number of other sizes and they've all been great, long lasting and fun to ride.

This bike has many features you'd want on your child's bike, including a single chainring for simple gear changes, child-proportioned brake levers to make stopping easier, and hybrid tyres to suit lots of terrains.

The Hoozar Cruz 12 balance bike is one of the lightest and best value balance bikes on the market which has a rear brake.

As well as the brake, the Cruz also features a lightweight frame, "proper" air filled pneumatic tyres, a footrest and adjustable scoop seat.

Weighing only 3.2kg the Cruz 12 is easy for young riders to manoeuvre and parents to transport. It is aimed at children from 18 months old to approximately 5 years old.

Frog have three 26" wheel hybrid bikes, and the Frog 67 is the smallest, and is for children with an inside leg measurement of 63cm-76cm.

It's a versatile bike which rides well on most terrains so is a good choice for anyone who isn't really specialising in one particular type of cycling.

One word of warning - Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand, so if you have a shorter but older child (particularly an image conscious one in their teens) you may encounter the desire to move onto a more "adult" brand.

The YOMO 24 is a good choice if you're looking for a lightweight, well specified 24" wheel bike with decent disc brakes but also one that's a little bit different from what other kids are riding.  The brand only launched in winter 2023, but we've been very impressed with their range.

We've been sent the slightly smaller 20" wheel bike to review and it's clear that YOMO are serious about the quality of their bikes.  Not only that, but our reviewer is loving test riding it!

There's also a range of stylish kids bike helmets available in matt and gloss finish and vegan leather chin strap.

If your child is ready for their first geared bike for your child you can't go wrong with the new YOMO 20.   This bike was only released in winter 2023, so is also great if you like to be a bit different to the crowd, but still want the quality associated with other more established premium kids bike brands.

We've been sent the YOMO 20 to review and not only were we really impressed with the specification and build quality, our reviewer is really enjoying the riding experience too, which at the end of the day is the most important thing.

YOMO also have a range of stylish kids bike helmets, with leather chin pad and a no-pinch magnetic fastener.

With a minimum inside leg measurement of just 26cm the woom 1 is one of the best balance bikes for shorter toddlers with little legs who are ready to move onto two wheels.

However it's got 12cm of growth so it's good for slightly taller children too - and with plenty of room for growth.

The woom 1 is really lightweight which means it's easy for a younger rider to move about - plus it's kinder for you to carry when they get fed up and decide they've had enough balance biking for one day!

The Forme Cubley 14 has all the features that you want when your child is learning to ride so they gain confidence quickly.

Weighing in at just 6.12kg the Cubley 14 is light enough for your child to pick it up and manoeuvre themselves, and not too heavy for you to carry if they suddenly decide they’ve had enough halfway through your ride.

The geometry of this bike has been designed with the youngest of riders in mind, and it comes with a size specific crankset and pedals for little legs, narrow bars, and a short reach stem. The 14″ diameter wheelset is alloy and attaches to the frame with nuts.

We were very impressed with the slightly larger Forme Cubley 18 we were sent to review.

There's a little ledge for putting feet on when scooting along and picking up speed, and the frame is lightweight aluminium making it reasonably easy to carry once they've had enough and you're carrying home!

Sadly Forme Bikes went out of business in March 2023, so new bikes are now hard to find.  However the good news is most of their warehouse was bought by Bike Club so kids can continue to ride these great bikes for years to come.  

The Forme Calver is a bike suited to cyclocross, triathlon or bike packing adventures. It features a lightweight, robust alloy frame, a 1 x 9 speed drive train with short reach levers and cable disc brakes for optimal handling in all conditions.

Weather proofed internal cabling and sealed bottom bracket keep the bike running for longer and help maintain the bikes value for when you come to sell on.

The low standover height of the Specialized Jett 24 means your child can get onto this bike sooner than many other 24" bikes and there's an extra hole for the pedals on the crank meaning you can extend the use of this bike as your child's legs grow.

It also has handy markings on the seat post and handlebars making adjusting the bike easy as your child grows.  To help, Specialized also provide an online Bike Fit tool - you simply input your child's measurements and they will tell you how to adjust the bike to fit.
