DH & I want to get DS a bike as part of his birthday presents. I'm so so overwhelmed with all the varieties and choices. I saw the balance bike that came highly recommended here, but it looked to me it's the kind of bike that DS1 will very quickly outgrow though.

right now he is 37 pounds at 40 inches tall, but those measurements were taken last October and i feel like he has grown another inch and half since then. dh wants a ordinary bike where we can put training wheels on it and take it off when he mastered the skill of riding it as opposed to getting him a teeny beginnger bike to outgrow it quickly. I, on the other hand think it'll be ok to get a balance kind of bike as i can always keep that to pass on to DS2 when DS1 outgrows it.

My issue with ordinary bike with training wheels is that the height of those bikes is still too hard for DS1 to hop on/off with ease??

any recs? i want to order it within 2 weeks to get it in time for his birthday early June.
