Lightweight kids bike recommendations

I’m looking for recommendations on good quality kids bike brands which are lightweight and easy to handle for a 6 year old.
We have looked at Frog, but wondering if there is any other brand that make similar but in a slightly lower price bracket

thanks!

Frog’s are great bikes and keep their value. We sold ours on for a good price. Islabikes are good too. If you buy cheaper bikes they will be heavy.

DD2(4) has a Forme Cubley which is nice and light. We do the Bike Club as they had 50% off so it’s only £6 a month. She’ll outgrow it soon no doubt and I didn’t want the hassle of reselling.

We have a squish bike for our 4 year old. It’s nice and lightweight and possibly a little cheaper than frog.

Islabikes and Frogs are absolutely superb. There is a massive preloved buy/sell market for them.
