Huffy Grow to Go 12-inch Bike for Kids ($39)

Grow to 12 inch?! For real?

Just get a used bike at a local bike shop or on FB Marketplace/Kijiji.

There is ZERO need to buy another crappy overseas made bike from Walmart or the like. There are 10000's for sale and your kid isn't going to get anything out of going to the store to buy a new bike.

Save that for when they're 10 years old or something later if they are serious about cycling, or better yet, instil the values in them now that saving money and finding a bargain 2nd hand is a lot more fun than going to a store.

I think it was posted couple of weeks ago. I guess some still have stock. Main GTA went out in 1 day.

These are actually pretty good bikes. They have front, rear and pedal brakes. Most bikes in this range only have back-padel brakes.
Also - 90% of kid happiness is when they open the present. Its all about opening ... (Do you not have kids at home? Them YouTube videos making MILLIONS for opening dollar store toys - ya its a thing)

I don't think even used market is all that cheap? I Haven't looked at it - but what reasonable bike you going to get under $40? even for kids.

The Huffy True Timber Camo bikes were on sale a couple of weeks ago for the same price.

Seem to be great bikes for the price.

FYI, the green and pink ones are 16". Only the orange is 12".

I'm not too sure about these Grow to Go bikes. They don't seem as nice as the True Timber.

True. I'll take a look there too.

But the pink ones have them fluffy flying pom pom things on side - Its like adding VTEC Yo
(Old 90's Honda joke ... )
