A pedal bike for short toddler

My Ds is a whizz on his balance bike and ready for a pedal bike. But he's short, around 94'.

Anyone recommend a particularly small pedal bike? We bought a PUKY balance bike which is small and great

We had exactly the same problem with our DS and bought a Puky. So glad we did as it's done 2 DC and is still going strong.

Would a cnoc14 be small enough Its worth ringing Islabikes, after measuring his inside leg. Ours has been great, and is much envied by others.

Or keep him on the balance bike a little longer til he is a little taller?

Specialized Hotrock 12 is small enough, ds got it when he was 83cm (although it was a bit big)

He is 3.5 now and 94cm tall and on a bigger bike.

Go to your local bike shop that stocks Specialized and have a try. Lots of bike shops also stock Frog bikes which are an alternative to Islabikes (but slightly bigger I think>?)

Try a Ridgeback MX12 (or maybe even a 14) really good quality bikes but much cheaper than Islabikes.

I do like Ridgeback bikes but I did think the MX12 was awfully heavy.

My dd and all her mates started on standard pedal bikes (12 or 14 inch) at 3.5 yrs. they are much heavier but all mastered them after 30min or so

We bought a 10'' Fifi and the Flowertots bicycle for my small DD2 as her first bike. Possibly not suitable for your DS but just to make sure you know you can get 10'' bikes.
