My favorite has been a Vitus brand one. It hasn't had any of the quality issues the Specialized MTB has and it is a lot lighter. Not "specialty light" kids bike, but more doable. Also, it came with click shifters instead of the rotary grip. My youngest had weak hands and couldn't rotate many of the rotary gear shifters.

Almost got a Frog, but the Vitus ticked the boxes for use and came in great.
