What the heck is his 6 year old gonna do that a little huffy can't handle. A magna is not a quality name brand and will tear up if you dont take care of it, but so will any other bike. What I'm saying is buy the ****ty 100 dollar bike and have it tear up in less then a year and buy a new one, compared to buying the 400 dollar bike and have it put through weather extremes and get tore up the same way. Just get her a little two-sprocket bike one gear for all they never go bad unless the chain comes off then its hell gettin it back on but what else does a 6 year old gotta do? Chances are and I dont mean to be sexist or anything but when I was that age I didn't see ONE girl riding a bike offroad or anywhere for that matter
