Brakes for a Kids Bike

I've been looking at all of the kids bikes that come into the local co-op, and many of them have rear coaster brakes with a rear hand brake.

Why is that? I would think you would want a hand brake on the front and a rear coaster brake.

I just put together an older 20" wheeled bike for my eight year old step brother-in-law, and it only has a coaster brake. Wondering if I should put another brake on it...
