I have kids myself. I second the mixte...my son has a Trek MountainTrack. It allowed him to ride a bigger bike that he could otherwise ride (better investment as he is now about to outgrow it). Also, his bike actually has a quill stem! Hard; but not impossible to come by. Allows you to raise the handlebars as the kid grows (and get them up high enough to start with). Lastly, my sons bike has a cool feature where the peddles can screw into the cranks in two different positions, effectively changing the crank length (again, adjust as they grow).
I suggest that you look for something like that. Ask for those features when you call the various bike shops or look online.
