I would like to get this for my son on his 4th birthday. He is 40" tall but has a long torso. Will he get much use out of it?

I don't think so personally. It's super cute but pretty tight quarters. Nice idea though. I bought it for my 2 and 3 year old grandsons. I almost think the three year old won't get a lot of use but he has a baby brother coming.

Pedals are adjustable to three settings. It's definitely rugged (AKA long life), but also a bit "old fashioned" in the sense that the pedal mechanism can be a good workout. I'd say it's a bit like having a car WITHOUT power steering. This is much more work that a big wheel or a tricycle. Still, my nephew uses it all the time.

I think so. My other GR. nephews are 8 and 9 and still can ride it. There is no roof and you should be atleast 3yrs so the feet can reach the pedals and for the developmental issues. There's also plenty of room from the edge of the seat. So if he has to slight bend his knees when he pedals. I have two more characters(GR. niece/nephews) to order these for. One is only 8 months and the other isn't due until Apr.

My grandson is about the same height and he fit fine although he had trouble figuring out how to pedal the truck. As far as how much use he'll get out of it, judging by my grandson I give a year or two not much more if that long.

I would say not much. It is a nice fire truck. I bought it for my nephew who was just born. I don't know how long he will be able to use it once he grows into it.

I would not purchase it for a child that size, but that's just my personal opinion. I purchased this item back in 2010 and have had many children on it and it's been a lot of fun. The 5 year old who is 40 something pounds and tall, is still enjoying it, but not for long.

I think so. My son is about 4'8" and he had a TON of room in the legs left to grow. He also wore it wearing a heavy winter coat underneath, and still had a lot of room.

Hi in answer to your question. I think it will be just fine. We bought one for my daughter who is only 4'11' and she has absolutely no trouble at all. Hope this helps.

I put my 35-38 pound 4 year old in it on my back, and it was great!! You can wear it three ways so you can use it whichever way you and your son like best!! He will not outgrow it for a long time! Awesome carrier!

Hello. My son is also five and 46" tall. He and his older buddies ride this comfortably. He wont get many more years out of it but at least a year, I think. If you live in warmer climate area, he should get plenty of use!

He might be for this item. My 2.5 yr is close to the height and we got this for him last year when he was just under 32". My son still plays with this even though he no longer uses the sides to rest his feet. He enjoys the music and horse sound it makes when he rides. I prefer this size for now since I know he won't "fall" off it like the taller horse.

My daughter is 27" now, and she is at the very top level. I think if your son should be fine using this one depending on how fast he grows. I would hate for you to waste money because your son shot pass the 32" quickly.

yes i bought for my 4 y o grandson's birthday. he us almost 5 and now will be ready for 16" next birthday. if big kid you may want the 16 now.

I am 16 so I'm not sure how it will be for someone so young. Depending on his height I would say that it is too long for his age and you should get one a few inches shorter. Around 38 inches maybe shorter.

My tall 4 yr old fits comfortably in the stroller and he loves it- might be more of a weight issue for how much you want to push while running too:) I still think he has some room to grow in the stroller as well.

Not sure. My sone is 4' 8" and he's 55 pouds and he has a decent amount of space left. It might fit you. It adjusts pretty well and supposedly can fit a child up to 13 years of age.

Im afraid he probably won't get too much use out of it. My son is just over 36 inches and his knees hit the handle bars now. Not to mention he is a bit too heavy for it now and he weighs 30 # now. Hope this helps.

I think it should be fine. Worst case, he will grow into it. My son is 6 and he is tall (about 4 ft 2 inches), but he has to bend his legs to fit. It is really best for 3-5 year olds.

I would think so. My son is just about 5" with long legs (he won't stand still long enough to get an inseam), and like the previous poster, his seat post is barely raised. He's got a decent amount of room to grow into the frame, so my reasonably informed opinion is that you'll be OK. Happy riding, whatever you choose!

I think it would be too short for a tall 4 year old. However, from floor to where the knee would be is 7" the depth from where the knee to where the back rests is 14". It is not that sturdy either. I would try to find something more sturdy. I could probably tear it apart with my bare hands.
