Bike Selection Recommendations- Kids

Hey there, folks. Hoping some of you dads out there can provide a bit of sizing input for me.

My kids are way past the 50-stage. My daughter has been riding a TTR90, but is now flat-footed with knees bent. She's still at the edge of her comfort level with a TTR/KLX110 as far as seat height and weight goes. My son will be about one year behind her in that regards, so her 90 is becoming his "hand-me-down."

So, for her...We ride in areas where we definitely want at least a 12/14 wheel combo, but everything I've seen in smaller Chinese trail bikes are "pit-biked out", with super-tall seat heights relative to wheel size. The closest seat heights I see to a TTR110 still have a 10" rear wheel.

Does anyone here have experience with larger-wheel Chinese bikes that have seat heights under 26 inches? Any recommendations on brands/models that are set up for real kids, rather than for taller teenagers looking to play pit-bike games?
