Why Cleary: Cleary Bikes builds exclusively for kids rather than shrinking down adult bikes, with an emphasis on keeping weight down relative to a child's body weight. The Hedgehog carries that philosophy in a steel frame — a few pounds heavier than aluminum, but more durable for a first "real" bike. Reviewers describe the geometry as balanced with a low center of gravity, which tends to make it a confidence-inspiring ride for newer riders.
Sourcing note: reported fit ranges for the Hedgehog vary by retailer, from roughly an 18–24" inseam to a 17–21" inseam, with height estimates around 41–48". We'd recommend a quick fit check in the shop or a straddle test before buying if your child is near the edges of that range.
