The MEC bikes are roughly equivalent to the Treks, Giants, etc brand name 20" bikes. They are heavier than necessary use Tourney level components which are good enough, have double wall wheels and decent bearings.
They all still have a relatively useless coil spring front suspension fork which has to high of spring rate for the weight of the kids on the bike. The only suspension fork on a kids bike worth getting is the Springer air fork where you can adjust the pressure to the kids weight.
But you can't really go wrong with any of them and will serve as a good bike for multiple kids with decent resale value
