Hi, I would like to buy a BMX for my son who is nearly 4’5” and have no experience of what to look for.
I don’t want one that is going to be too heavy and unsure what wheel or frame size would suit. Looking to spend £300-350 approx if possible. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you in advance

Hi,
There are many good starter bmx's on the market to choose from and everyone each has their favourites.
I think the first question you would need to answer is what type of "ride" you're son has or will have access to -where you are (i.e. park with ramps or halfpipe or without, flatland/street etc)
This would determine the strength of the frame needed which would lessen the choice somewhat, but there's still lots.
I would suggest that you go and look at some bikes in a bike shop to determine the size of the frame as how it feels is the best way imo to determine what's suitable. Somewhat like buying clothes! 🤗 until you know you're perfect size- try them on!
In this case it's expensive to make a guess!
Hope this helps.
