Why buy a Frog 78?   One of the biggest temptations is to buy a child's first bike that they will grow into. However, this will likely have the opposite effect and put your child off bikes and cycling altogether!

That’s why Frog bikes are lightweight and designed to specifically accommodate the anatomy of children.
