My eldest (now 5) is now on a 20" wheeled bike, but rather likes the skate / bmx park.

He's got a 16" wheeled frog bike in the shed, it's single speed and plenty tough, I was wondering would it be possible to bolt on a set of kid sized bmx bars & stem, rock the saddle to a jaunty angle and turn it into a more park friendly bike?

He's got enough bikes already that he messes about on

Because it looks like a bmx doesn't make it a bmx or park friendly.

This is true, but I very much doubt he'd be able to tell the difference.
