Thoughts on whether this would fit my (small for his age) 5 year old son with a little room to grow?

I would guess that there's not much room to grow for a 5 year old on this bike. My son just turned 4 years old and is about average size for his age and I would say that the bike fits him perfectly. My best guess is that he will have grown out of it when he's about 6.

Yes it will. My son is small for his age at 4 and there is still plenty of room to grow. He will probably be able to keep riding it for 2 more years.

With an adjustable seat you can make it fit easily. Bought this last year for my twin grandsons, who will be six in February and are a bit small for their age. They are still riding theirs but after next summer will need to go up a size. By the way, you still can't beat the quality of a Radio Flyer, sturdy and well built. Would definitely recommend if this is his first bike as the training wheels are not wobbly/loose like on some brands.

I'm pretty sure it will fit. My 3 year old is 50% for height and it just barely fit her. If your 5 year old can tolerate 12" tires he should be fine!

It would fit a five year old. It's pretty huge on my super tall toddler. Hope this helps

No it would not be too small. I bought it for my son for his guitar lesson and it is a little too big for him but for 5'4", it should be okay. My son is 8 years old.

I guess it depends on what you want. I have a small 8 year old and the bag is definitely too big for him, but not unmanageable. I feel like we will be able to grow with it. However, if you want it more of an appropriate fit, you might want to go with the youth.

I think he will be too big for this. My 2 year old grandbaby rides it fine, but her legs are long and she will outgrow it before too long. I think there are cozy coups that would work better for a 5 year old (there was a fire engine one at one point)..

Yes definitely! I bought it for a 4 year old and it just fits him. It is smaller than it looks.

My three year old is about the same size and it's okay for him. My five year old is about 46" tall, and it is too small for him.

I bought this for my two-year old, and it's a little too big for her. I have to help her onto the chair and then push her chair in because her feet don't touch the ground yet. If your 5-year old is on the small side, it may be perfect for him.

My son is 5 years and still has room to grow! It is adjustable and goes up to 50 pounds.

Yes, my kid is 5 and it fits him...maybe a little loose so I just make sure the strap is really tight. Fyi, the details are made of foam so be careful taking it out of the packaging. My son broke off the tail in the 1st 5 mins of opening the box.

My son is 5 (but large for his age) 3 ft 8 inches and 50 pounds and it seems to have room to grow. The only issue I would see is if he was considerably taller as there is plenty of room in the main part of the costume.

I bought a "small" for my 4 year old, but it is roomy enough to grow into it & not so big to fall off.

Not trying to be rude in any way here, but as long as he is average size and not "over wide", it should be fine. We plan on buying two more for our kids. The locking straps on this model are a GREAT feature.

It will be ok for him. My daughter is 5'5", and it isn't too big.Look up some videos on YouTube.

I think it would be too small for a 5 year old. S/he would fit, but the sponge is thin and so at that size and weight it would not give good support .

It might be too small. I bought it for my son when he was 2. He is 4 now it it's snug. My son is very tall and average weight.

I think it would be perfect for a 5 year old. It's about the size of a hand bag.
