We bought it for Christmas but sent it back because we couldn't get it the pieces together. may have just been the one we got. We were planning it for a 4 1/2 year old.

yes I bought it for my 5 year old grandson and he loves it. It is well made and awesome design.

The size bike you get is best based on their height. My son is 42 inches. Just bought this bike and he is still struggling with it but it was a big jump up from his 12 in bike. He can pedal ok...just not as fast as he used to , its more bike to control.

I bought this bike for a 4 year old for Christmas and it was a little big, but he will definitely be able to use it this spring.

It's a great bike. I purchased this bike for my son's 7th birthday and it fit him like a glove. He was a couple of inches taller than your son at the time, but your son should have no problems with it. It's actually a very well constructed bike (which is why you're considering this one from the start). After 2 1/2 years and a few seat and handlebar adjustments, he still rides it.

I purchased this bike for my son. He is 9 years old and 52 inches tall. Sounds like your son is tall for his age, but this bike might be just a little too big. He might be better suited with a bike that has a 16 inch or 18 inch tire size. That brings the bike body a few inches closer to the ground. My son was riding an 18 inch up until he received this one as a gift.

Must be a typo. My daughter is 5 1/2 years old, weighs close to 50 pounds and she still rides this bike. It is the right size bike for an average size 4-6 year old.

I bought this for my 2-year old. The seat definitely goes down low enough for two-year old height. She loves putting things in the little pouch in front and LOVES the water bottle. Developmentally, she wasn't quite ready for a bike right at 2. She's slowly learned to peddle and propel herself a little, but at 2.5, she's still not strong enough to peddle unless we are on even pavement. We use the back handle a lot. I'm hoping this bike will grow with her for a couple more years. It's a solid choice, but you might also consider a balance bike (without peddles) to ease your child into the world of bicycles.

I don't think so- my son is 2.5 and the bike fits him well with some growing room- but it is too small for my five year old. I think that, at 4, it'd be useable for her but would be outgrown soon.

I think this bike would be too tall for him. I'd select a bike with a smaller wheel size. Our kids are five, and tall for their age, and I don't think they could have been riding this much sooner. Our kids are 42"+.

I got this bike for my son's 4th birthday and it has been great! It is really durable and sturdy. He loves it and goes everywhere in it. Hope this helps.

I would think between 3 years and 6 years depending on the physical size and coordination level of the child. I purchased one for my daughter when she turned 4 (she is petite) and it was perfect. I purchased one for my son when he turned 2 (he is big for his age) (same size bike but Buzz Lightyear) he could reach the pedals fine but could not figure it out completely until he was almost 3.

My son is 4 1/2 as well, and he is 42 inches tall. This bike is a perfect fit for him. He wouldn't be able to reach the pedals on a larger bike as well.

I purchased this bike for my son when he was 4. It fit him really well. He rode it until recently when mom ran over it in the drive. I have replaced it with a 16" bike but he was still riding it comfortably when it was damaged. It is a really sturdy built bike. Jacob really enjoyed it.

Hi, my daughter was 2.5 yes old when we got her this bike and she is still using it at 3 yrs old. This is a great starter bike, if your daughter has been riding bikes for a while, I'd go with a 16" instead.

I have a 4 year old that is currently riding it. She is tall for her age but its perfect for her.

It's just the right size for my 4 year old boy. The weight limit is 65 lbs. My 8 year old daughter got on it and she was cramped on it. So if your son is on the smaller side he could maybe ride it for a summer or so! I would look at something a little bit bigger.
