My 4.5-yo son rides an Islabike (Cnoc14). It's a wonderful bike-- lightweight, good proportions for small bodies, excellent components. It has fender mounts; I don't think the 14" has rack mounts. I know that the larger (16"+?) have rack mounts and specially designed+fitted racks as options.
IMHO, Islabikes are not inexpensive, but worth it. Leah-- (I'm don't think it was covered earlier in the thread.) Is your child driving the change to alba-style handlebars? or is it the Riv-thing? There's nothing wrong with flat bars, unless they're causing problems (e.g., hand pain). Many kids bikes seem to have a fairly high handle-bar position as a result of frame design. Good luck!
