My son is six and almost four feet tall and is able to reach them very well with no problems. I would assume five years and up...

I'm not sure what the actual height measurement is, but my daughter is 35" tall and can't ride it, yet. Her toes hover about an inch above the ground. If she has her "big" boots on, she can touch, but not really well enough to push off or anything. I'd not expect anyone under 37-38" to be able to ride it well.

My daughter is 35" tall (at nearly 3 years old) and seemed to be able to reach the pedals on an in-store display. The seat is adjustable. The problem is that some in-store smart cycles have the seat height fixed. A 35" tall kid might need shoes on to pedal properly, I think.

Bery important that you be able to touch the ground if only on your tip toes in order to keep your balance as is what i do. Also you will want to put a strap around you and the child for safety as i do. You will need to lift the seat about 3 inches. Hope this helps. Me and my grandson ride all the time and have great conversation while we ride. He loves it.

Definitely. My daughter is 37 inches and she reaches the pedal just fine. We bought this so she wouldn't grow out of it so fast like the other ones. She is even able to tote her 9 year old sister around with no problems as well. The product is worth it.

The foot pegs can be rotated 90 degrees so they are not in the way of the child's feet. Alternately, you could remove them so the stem is uncapped, which is cut metal and rather sharp. Best to just rotate the pegs so they are parallel to the frame.

The feet are about 2 inches high. I guess you don't have to put the feet on, but we did.

Hello Linda,I bought this for my 2 year old, the pedals were a little hard for him to reach. We moved the seat up as far as it would go and ended up also making some pedal blocks. My son is very tall for a 2 year old and he couldn't reach the pedals. The bike is awesome though and he loves it! Kristen

The manual states the child must not exceed 49".http://download.gracobaby.com/ProductInstructionManuals/PD265353B.pdf

My son never had a problem with the foot pegs. Plus you can even leave them off as they are easily removable.

I don't know the exact requirements, however our neighbor's kids are tall 10 and 11 year olds and they use it and LOVE it.

I have had kids romping on these without incident. Of course with very small kids, one would expect parental supervision due to the height of the stool

I believe the manufacturer recommended 3-8. However, my 2 year olds love it an play with it daily. Not at home with my measuring tape, it is height friendly for my girls who are very tall. I'd say perfect for 2-5 for both height and appropriateness.

At 4'-11" tall, your daughter is close to the bottom limit of the height adjustment. When I adjust the height to minimum with the peg in the bottom hole of the sleeve, the top of the hand grip is 29-1/2 inches above the floor. Measure 29-1/2" up from the floor and make sure she doesn't need to bend her elbows too much when her palms are at that height from the floor. Based on how my friend uses this walker, if she needs the walker to help support her legs with arm strength, she will want her arms straighter than if she uses it only to steady her balance.

Around 36 inches. My daughter is close to forty inches now and her ankles/feet hang off.

Our grandson is 26 months old and is 36" tall. He can reach the pedals with the seat all the way forward but is still trying to get the coordination down.

My grandson is 2 years old and of average height. We have the seat adjusted al the way up and he reaches the peddles fine.
