My 6yo daughter absolutely loves this bike. PROS: Solid build quality. Full chain guard coverage. Brakes work great. CONS: Not having a quick release lever for the seat post on a kids bike seems silly to me. Especially at this price point. They should add one in and sell the bike for $10 more. The kickstand is extremely difficult to use - even by a parent (the force required to put it up/down is HARD - no springs). The water bottle cage mounts are a joke. It's impossible to fit a cage/botte in the space. That said... would absolutely recommend this bike over the similar priced REI model (wider tires, feels more durable).
