The best way to learn to ride a bike

Ditch the stabilisers! and remove the pedals!  

Small hands don't have the power for brakes and its easier to learn one skill at a time.  Some folk also advocate the use of coaster brakes as the kids get older.  Coaster brakes activate via the pedals.

Models you might want to consider include the Isla likeabike and the Ridgeback Scoot or you could just take the cranks off a bike you already have.

When you get older and require gears consider a hub gear if you just cant get your head round derailleurs.
