I haven't seen it mentioned so let me share that our twins had Start 20s from Priority Bicycles when they were going through that stage. Aluminum frame so it's relatively light, 3 Speed IGH so they can learn when and where to use gears without having to be in motion, and the belt drive means no greasy spots on pants or legs. IMO build quality isn't as good as a Woom or a Cleary so it helps to be mechanically inclined, but it does cost much less.
