See Woom bikes as a great example of a lightweight well designed kids bike: https://us.woombikes.com/pages/bikes?gclid=Cj0KCQjwmPSSBhCNARIsAH3cYgbTiV7o3g6sA4 NUk5SG1mYH6nHZMVn_6MAMN8F0DtRlJLQ0Tav4QwcaAgDcEALw _wcB

Notice how all those Woom bikes have the grips straight across, not wheel barrow style?
