My daughter went from a balance bike to Woom 2 (14") to Prevelo Alpha 2 (16") to REV 20 here to Polygon Relic 24". I'd recommend each and every one of the bike brands I mentioned and steer clear of training wheels and back pedal brakes. They are mandated by law for some kids bikes but swap out a freewheeling rear wheel and teach kids to use handbrakes from the start.
The REV mountain bikes here are very sturdy, fat tires and relatively heavy. My daughter was a very proficient rider at that point and enjoyed riding it on trails and bump tracks. For street use it's unnecessarily heavy and knobby tires will slow them down.
But good to see a sale, quality and value wise these are excellent bikes, just pick the right bike for intended use.
Freewheel and hand brakes are ideal over rear coaster brakes IMO.

Guardian bikes are great for new riders for mixed use. When starting out, geometry and light weight are important. Look up two wheeling tots blog for detailed reviews and good tips.

Only issue with rev is that I cant find kicker stand for it. Tried three different kicker from rei and none of them fit… tried two other off the shelf and doesn't fit either.
The bike is aluminum so not as heavy as some of the other bikes we had. The large wheels and tires are great and never had any issues. The disc breaks are great assuming your child has the hand strength to use any hand break vs pedal break.
We paid full price and are happy with the purchase. It's very well made and will last years to come.
