My daughter is 40inches tall and just turned 4 yrs. Is this scooter too short or going to be too short soon?

It would probably be ok for a year or so, but I would probably get the larger size.
345373
Yes, I think this scooter would be too short for her too soon. Hope this helps.

I dont think you will have any problem with the size--my daughter got this at 4 yrs and about 4 months and just took the two wheels in back recently when she turned 5. She is 42" tall now and fits her great. Hope this helps!

Should be fine. My daughter is 38 inches and my son even rides it ...he is 46 inches tall. Warning though..son tells me it is kinda slow compared to his standard razor scooter...I suppose this is a good thing since there is also no brake on the kixi mixi.

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel.

I'm 5'10 and I can ride it. My 4.5 and 5 foot tall daughters still love their scooters.

It is more about the weight and size of the child rather than the age. My son is 49" and and 50 lbs, he will be able to use that scooter for years to come without out growing it

Hello, I think it just might depend on the size of the person that you are purchasing this for. If it it is for a smaller child, then perhaps it might be. My son is not that tall however. He is about 5'0" and he LOVES it. Kids are so quick to adapt and agile, they learn to ride equipment so fast. My son quickly learned to ride the Sbyke because he had a normal scooter first. So that helped. I hope this answers your question. Overall, my son loved this product and I had no regrets when "Santa" delivered it to our house for CHristmas :-) -- Blessings, Mellie

Hi, this scooter is suitable for the height. my daughter is around 4 years age and when I bought it she had 38" tall and now she has also about 40", but it still works. I concern the age of 2 1/2 because it's designed for 3-5 years, Micro has lower age type but I think it's not worthy now for you. i recommond you can start from this mini micro for your 4 years child and cultivate the interest for your 2 1/2 child, when the younger child takes over it then you can but 5-12years type(maxi micro) for your older child. Kind regards!Jimmy

My granddaughter is 3' and she's fine. It's a larger vehicle - I got it bc it had the longest age range for getting a lot of use. It's a big hit!! It has to be put together, which I didn't realize. Thankfully, my son is super dad. Good luck!

I would say if you want a scooter--get one with adjustable height handles. Can adjust the height. I cannot remember if this scooter has adjustable handles.If this does not have adjustable height handles...do not buy! He will be hunched over! I have 2 Razor scooters...both for my 9 year old son...who is 52 or 53 inches...smidge over 4 feet and even he complains the handle bars need to be higher.Try the Y Fliker. It has high weigh limit...lots of fun/great exercise! Or get a scooter that has handle bars you can adjust the height on....

It's perfect for my daughter, but she's small... Just over 5 ' tall. I think you'd be better off on a larger wheel.

My daughter is about 40 inches and still has room. I have friends who use this stroller on occasion for their 4 and 5 year olds too.

I bought it for my daughter at 2 years old as well and she is tall for her age. She can reach the pedals but if the pedal is fully extended she can't reach it enough to get a good push on it. She loves it though...she scoots around on it just putting her feet on the ground. I would think she would be able to ride it until 5 or so. I actually had to buy a new one for her because she left the trike behind our F-150 truck and lets just say that didn't end well for the bike! So Santa "fixed" the bike and will be bringing it back!

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years

The handle bars are adjustable and when all the way down they measure about 28 inches from the ground, so just measure 28 inches up on your 4 yr old and see if that is ok. This scooter is really for bigger kids, but the good news is your child likes it now they can ride it for years to come.

I is a little small. I bought it for a 3 year old and now she is turning 4 this Sunday and still rides it, but she is short.

This is a cute and strong little scooter but I bought it for my 3 year old. And he doesn't put it through a lot. So it will depend how active your little girl is. I would say this is a beginner scooter.

I am 5 ft 1 inch tall, I wonder if this would be a little bit heavy for her to propel? I have the seat on the lowest setting, and I am thinking maybe she could ride this ok, is there a childs sized one out there? Maybe you could put some sort of wooden blocks on the pedals in case her legs are a little too short. Do you want me to measure anything for you? Its sitting here in my garage and would be happy to measure it for you. I really like the bike.Cheers, Cheryl

I think our son is about 43 inches tall right now. He can ride very comfortably. However when we first got it about a year ago he had a little bit of trouble. I can't remember his exact height at that time though. At Most, she might have just a little bit of trouble reaching the pedals; however you can buy some pedal raisers that would fix the problem.
