Boys first 'proper' bike

Cyclum

We are both keen riders and so we bought our son a bike when he was 2. Sadly it was a bit cheap and it seems to have put him of even trying to learn.

He's almost 5 now and we're going to invest in a nice bike for Christmas. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good 'first bike' that suitable for someone who doesn't yet ride?

I'd also prefer not to spend too much as he'll grow out of it soon and with him not riding yet I'm assuming that it will take more than its fair share of bumps.

Thanks.

Isla, Hoy, Frog bikes? If they are too much, then try Halfords' Carreras, or maybe Decathlon.

Can he ride a balance bike?
