It looks like a solid deal of a cheap bike. Huffy's suck, but he will outgrow it quickly. In-4-1. Repped.

My girl is turning 3 next month. She is pretty tall for her age. So we wen for 16" as she might start riding sometime next year.

Note: We infact checked before ordering by going to a local walmart store.

So I feel you can go for 16" or for that you can even think off going for 20" (if it has training wheels).

Hope this helps...

I've heard this from several people, but I bought a cheap Huffy from Walmart a couple of years ago, and I think the complaints are inaccurate. My 7 year old daughter rides the bike well every week, and we've never had a major problem with it. It does require tightening the training wheels bolt every few months and adjusting the handle bars or seat once or twice. However, a diligent parent should always routinely check the parts on a kid's bike.

@redlegger -- What specifically "sucks" about Huffy's? I remember having a couple of Huffy bikes as a kid and never had a problem with them. Yet, I also remember the same exact type of product bashing -- people saying they "sucked". Yes, they aren't as lightweight and take the same leve of abuse as a true BMX bike might be, BUT they are cheap and (at least in the past) provided great value.

Now, I will be the first to admit it's been many years... maybe they really DO suck nowadays -- I know I had bought a couple of Schwin's (always thought they were a 'good' brand) from TRU a few years back for donation -- they DID suck (broken POS -- both of them!)... but again, never have had a problem with a Huffy...

@Jack -- Wouldn't any bike require periodic tightening of bolts, etc.?

I think Huffy's have gone down in quality but for something they will out grow quick who cares.

Schwin is junk now too but again until the kid levels out they will go through bikes like shoes.

On the other hand for an adult or teen I wouldn't recommend any bike sold at a big box store.
I made that mistake once and won't again.

Thanks OP in for 1.

Bikey! Bikey! Bikey! Bikey! is all I hear since she played with on in store last week.

Seems like a great price for a bike, even if it's only meant to last one season - bonus if it gets you more than that. Thanks OP. In for 1.
