Yeah don't be so snobby
. Your kid loves it by the looks of it and that's all that matters. It doesn't look too big to me. Looks the right size. If Ianrauk Jnr saw a Spiderman bike I think he would explode with excitement.

Your quite right about the snobby bit and his eyes nearly popped out when he saw it!

Can you drop the bars down a bit? Might help if you can, but I agree with Ian, doesn't look too bad. My boy had a "Darth Maul" Star Wars bike and loved that!
I hadn't thought of that, I'll take a look tomorrow.
He only turned 3 in April so it's octonauts and chuggington at the moment, he's never heard of Spider-Man!
The purple is cool!
Looks like you can tilt the bars a bit closer to his body which will also drop them a little.

Not strictly speaking on his bike, but me and my eldest went out on a spin yesterday evening around Little Paxton Gravel Pits Nature reserve. And rather lovely it was too. FWIW, that's my Cannondale (bit big for him). His bike (Frog 69) is on the floor on the edge of the image.

I have always loved this picture. It was taken a few years ago and shows my son, Charlie standing proudly next to his new Islabike most of the way around the red route on Cannock Chase. He loved his bike then and was quite fit. Now a few short years later he can't bare to be away from his computer. His twin sister now has more strength and stamina.
I think I am going to go medieval on his ass this summer holiday. His pasty skin will see the sun again.
That is my Bontrager Ti for scale.

We're having the same nightmare. Super fit outdoor 12 year old is becoming an Xbox potato. Worst decision I've made, finally letting him get one.

Slows him down!
Means the User76 can keep up and there is less stress! Plus it is easier for me for some reason 
.He is at the strutty testosterone age... the fact people point and stare and comment and he can hear makes him even more determined as he puffs out his chest, credit to him though he pulled it and only needed me to run behind him pushing the trailer (and my bike) on a couple of steep hills and there was a good 70kg in there!

I am very proud of my lad!
He is 14 and has a lot of medical issues as well as Aspergers, which means he doesn't like meeting new people, so getting him out can be a challenge. He also has Dyspraxia which causes him balance issues.
He only learned to ride a bike a couple of years ago but I just couldn't get him out on it.
He is still very wobbly at times, but last week he rode 16 miles with me.
