My son is 9 years old and is 4ft 6in tall. Would this bike be a good fit for him?

Joseph, this bike is probably too big. My boys are 11 and both a little over 5ft. When they are on the seat in its lowest position they can't put a foot flat on the ground while bike is upright.

Yes, my son is the same size now, and its perfect for him - still plenty of adjustment for him to grow.

It may be a little big. I bought it for my 11 year old that is 5 ft 1 or 2 inches. It fits him perfectly.

We got this bike for our son who is 4ft 6in as well. He has no issues with it and loves the bike. When we first got it he was actually a little smaller. The bike was slightly big for him at that time but he was still able to quickly adjust to getting on and off and has had no issues riding it.

Yes, I believe it would be fine for your height, as it is adjustable. I would caution that there are two real problems with buying this bike. One is that Amazon ships through UPS or FedEx, and these services sent two (yes, one returned and the second returned as well) destroyed bikes. Even if you receive in good condition, the center bar that connects the two disparate parts wobbles, and this is a design flaw, not something you can fix. Good luck!

We purchased this bike for our 6 year old grandson who was about 40 inches tall at the time. He is on the short end of the spectrum. He has had no problem with the bike and the training wheels are now off and he is doing great.

I bought this bike for my 11 year old daughter, she is about 4'11", I think it would be fine for you.

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.

Not at all, my son is 36" and he rides this tricycle well. There is actually room to grow with it because the handle bars and seat height are adjustable

The twin who is using this bike turned four in July and it is perfect for him now. He is a slight bit bigger than his contemporaries and I am hoping he gets another year out of it. You could talk with bike store about sizing if you want more exacting sizing.

Yes I think so. My son is 6' and the seat slides back quite a ways for him. It also has was weight limit over 300, so you should be good. I love my bike! The handlebar can be adjusted in front as well.

I am 5'5" and the bike is perfect for me. Even had to raise the seat, so I would say it would not be an issue with your height. However, the bike is longer and on the heavy side, it is one of the bigger bicycles I have purchased, so just be aware of that. But your height shouldn't be an issue, the seat can be adjusted to sit pretty low.

Yes, My son is 6ft and fits fine. The seat is adjustable. This has been a great bike for us.

Yes. We have owned this bike for about 2 years and it has a very good bike for my now 9 year old son.

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.

yes, my son is 6'5"...he is able to ride the bike just fine. The seat is adjustable. Our only complaint about the bike is the noise it recently started to make while pedaling. It is no longer quiet. As for everything else...we really like the bike.

Yes, I believe this bike would be good for your size. The seat is adjustable, it's a study bike. You will need to pump up tires when you put it together. This was purchased for a 6' guy around 200 lbs. It's a good looking bike and would serve your needs - per Dr's orders! Enjoy

Yes- I'm 69 and short: my son-in-law uses it occasionally and he's 6' and young. The bike is very adjustable (and comfortable).

Hi, I bought the bike for my 6 year old granddaughter and we successfully adjusted the bike t suit her size so it should work for a 9 year old.

My almost 4 grandson is about 42" tall too. I think he is on the edge of being to tall for the bike. He loves riding it still. I think we will be going for a pedal bike this summer. You might look into a balance bike with 16" wheels. That may fit better and have some grow room too.
