bike options for a 4 year old

[annie357s]

Dh and I want to get into cycling on paved trails.  What are the best options to include ds?  He is 4 and probably could handle a bike (has a balance bike now) but he is also in a not listening stage.  Is there something in between a trailer and a separate bike for him?  I feel like he might get bored in a trailer but he isn't really ready for the freedom of a bike on a trail.

A tag-a-long? it attaches to the back of an adult bike, he can pedal but not steer. My 4 yr old loves it and if he gets tired, he doesn't have to pedal.

I'll second the tag along aka "trail a bike."

ditto - was going to suggest same as the others have said.
