my eldest has asked for a bmx for his 8th birthday.

obviously i told him no

he's 4'5'' tall with an inside leg 23''

before i go to a shop and look like a total numpty,what am i supposed to be looking for wheel size and frame size wise?

btw,i'm supposed to have 1 aswell

At that height and size, I would recommend something like a Haro F1c or a Mongoose Mini Motivator as these have smaller frames than the rest of the standard 20"BMX's

It really depends on how deep your pockets are, because otherwise you could get a decent 18" wheel bmx

 I hope this helps a bit
