I think they have gotten WTP and United bikes, but might be wrong, its BMX companies though. The bikes are basically miniature versions of good bikes but weight so much that the kids cant get it off the ground, something to consider.

as far as lightness and stability, there is something to be said for bmx racing mini's, micro's, juniors, etc.

No way you can get one bike to last from 5 to 9, unless he's a really big 5 year old and you stop feeding him...

Getting a really good bike second hand is a good bet. They keep their value way better than adult bikes so you should be able to sell on for pretty much what you paid in a couple of years time when he outgrows it.

Weight is always a battle.
