It says 2-4yrsor 80 lbs. My son is 39 lbs and he rode it for an hour and the gears stripped in it.

I don't know the recommended age, however I made the purchase for my two year grandson. He has driven it since. Hope this helps.

We bought this for our grandson. Although they wanted it he was too young for it. I would think 3 is the minimum age for this.

I think it is perfect for a 3 year old. I got it for my granddaughter and she is 18 months; I think she will most likely use it until she is 5 or 6.

My Bruce was 6 and lived it. When she was 3, she had a 3 wheel scooter which was more appropriate for her age but not used much.

YES. This is age appropriate for a 3 year old if they are on the taller side (for the 16 inch), my daughter received this at 3 1/2 and used it last summer and can still ride it this summer. She loves the baby seat and the training wheels are sturdy.

My grandson turned 2 when I bought him the trike. Still has a little bit of a problem with the pedals, so I would recommend it for those over 2. Maybe 2/12 -3

Our very big three year old is still using this bike. She is 42lbs and 43 inches tall. She has some motor delays due to heart surgery, we wanted to keep her close to the ground. She uses it and motors right along with her bigger siblings. It has been a great bike for us.

It fits our 18 month old really well.... I would think your 3 year old could ride it, but will grow out of it quickly. Also, it doesn't have enough power to carry more than about a 25 lbs. rider.

My two kids starting ridging it when they were three up till now, and they are 24. We bought two more for our grandkids and my 24 year old son can ride it. They alllove them.

I would think its too big for a 3 year old. We bought for a 5 year old and we had to adjust the seat and handlebars all the way down. I would start with a 12 or 14

Hi Gail - My 10 year old rides it around the kitchen and I know college kids ride it up and down the hall. I'm in my 50's and tall and rode it too. But I think depending on the size of your child they should be at least 4 or 5 years old. It moves pretty easily especially on say wood floors. It should work in a garage and driveway tho gravel might wear into the tires (replaceable) a bit. My son practices texting while driving it too. I remind him it is against the law to text and drive. The temptation is too strong. Any other questions feel free to ask. Tom

The boys we bought them for were 2 & 4 years old. They are now 3&5 and continue to ride them. The older one was riding them at preschool. I would say in that age range.

My daughter is 5 and she's about 42 inches in height...it's kind of too small for her but she needs a three wheel scooter so it works for her for now.

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. Have you looked into coaster bikes?

My opinion is that it would be too heavy for a 3 year old to haul around. It is very well made with welded, all aluminum, but it weights somewhere around 12 pounds. They are cheap enough that I would get a lighter one for now.

Depends on your 3 year old! My daughter started on a scooter before she turned 3, my son was 5 before he's get near it.
