Malvern Star Cruisestar 16 (2015)

The 2015 Malvern Star Cruisestar 16 is a kid's bike. Safe, solid, sure-footed and secure, it's laden with appealing features for parents and kids, new riders and those with some kilometers under their belts. Visually it's a knockout: starting with white or pink, with contrasting elements on rims, training wheels and stem, both are blended in a lovely plaid covering the saddle trim and 'child seat.' The behind-the-seat doll carrier is one of a panoply of accessories, perfect for the young rider on the go, including gorgeous multi-colored streamers fluttering in the breeze and a wicker front basket, just right for carrying important things on trips.
Parents will appreciate its simplicity, from the single gear to the foot and hand brakes, the sturdy 16" tires to the big plastic pedals. Safety is no afterthought: the stem is padded, and the chainline is ensconced behind a chainguard.
A good 16" kid's bike.
