Looking for a decent quality bike for a boy about to turn 5. He obviously won't have it very long at that age, but it will be his first training wheel/two wheeler. This kid is very large (almost 4 ft tall), very strong and hard on his stuff. So some quality is desired.
I am trying to avoid the Chinese big box store bikes. But they seem almost impossible to avoid in children's models. I would be delighted if I could find a US made bike, but that also seems impossible. The Huffys I see appear worse made than they were thirty years ago. I can't even find any Murrays around. I understand Schwinn is now foreign owned and built, but that their little Gremlin model is ok quality.
Budget is up to $150.
Any thoughts?
