Kids don't last very long on 12" bikes, if you get your son started at
age 3, by age 5 (maybe even before that) he will be ready for a 16"
bike. The best bet for a 12" bike is to look at yard sales and pick one
up for $10-20. If you have other smaller children that might justify a
new bike for future hand me downs, or aren't big on used stuff, a toy
store 12" bike for under $70 will last as long as your 3 year old will
want to ride it. It depends more on his arm length than his leg length
- you can adjust the seat downwards, but you can't make it get closer
to the handlebars.
