Best kids' mtb

[Caddy]

What is the best 20" mtb?
The Kona Makena gets good reviews...
Or is there also a retro kids mtb that at least weighs a little bit less than the adult version?

Islabikes get great reviews, really good quality, plus there's a buy-back scheme.

I especially like Gary Kleins daughters bike and the mini Doug Bradbury

Wow - plenty of inspiration here! Islabikes looks like an easy route - and I've just seen one that weighed just 9.5 kg! Normally the kids have to tote adult weights and my nearly 5 year-old just bogs down on the soft stuff as a result. 9.5 will set him free! Now to find one in Amsterdam...

Thanks.

"I don't believe it!" This place is only 5 miles from me. I've been looking for a decent bike for my 5 year old for ages. Is this anything to do with the Isla (Rowntree, or something like that?) who used to race BiTD?

Yup:
"Welcome to our children’s bikes for cycling families. Isla Rowntree has introduced a range of children's bikes after watching young cyclists struggle with heavy, ill fitting machines."

Wow, that's cool.

My youngest loves his Islabike. It's so light you can pick it up with two fingers!
