Is this bike too large for a 43" tall boy?

My son is is 4 years old and 44 ". He has been riding this bike for about a year now. He loves it, and I would say we have another year or so before he outgrows it! So too large? Definitely not. I think it would be perfect for him.

Not sure their heights at certain ages, but my two boys rode this bike from 2 til 5...

Hi Susie, I personally thought this was a great bike for my grandson who was five at the time of purchase. Remember it's a glide and does not have wheels. My grandson loved the bike but preferred the wheels. It is an EXCELLENT 1st bike for little guys. If you have not watched the video please do so. It is great for teaching balance and can not me any easier to put together, 5min. Best of wishes with your decision. Enjoy! Donna KDonna T. Kasinak answered on January 25, 2013

I would get the mini glider for a 43" tall boy. If you look at the reviews, there is one that mentions the go glider is too tall for a 43" boy. I recommend getting both if you have a younger child too.

My son used it when he was 45". we had originally ordered a skuut bike, but had to return because it was too small and fit my 3 yr old instead of my 5 yr old. however, my sons are long in the torso, which is what you need to reach the handles and steer.

I think you should be fine unless your son has very short legs. I have this bike and the mini glider. The mini glider is more appropriate for a 2-3 year old.

No. I'd say that's the perfect height for this bike. My kid is 44 inches tall and still loves this bike over his regular bike with pedals. I highly recommend this bike, it taught my kid how to balance on a bike in less than a week!

Absolutely. The seat is adjustable and easy for taller kids. My son is 28 months and quite a bit taller and gets lots of use out of this bike. It's his favorite thing!

My son is probably 42". The handlebars are no problem. Sometimes his feet slip off the pedals. That's not such a big deal though as the bike is largely Daddy powered and he is happy as a lark on it.

My cousin's 16 year-old son and his friends who are 6ft plus, have a great time on this bike! I think your son would enjoy it as well.

I wouldn't think so, my 4.5 year old daughter has this bike and is 40 inches tall and has to use it on the lowest setting and it's still a little big for her.

Not sure if this helps or not, but my son is 42" tall, and fits on this bike perfectly. He's fit just fine since the day we bought it, about 6 months ago.

Hey Christine. How tall? I'd say if he's over 5'0 then you'd want something bigger to allow some growing room. Otherwise this will be a good bike.

My son is 12. 5'5". He's already outgrown this bike. But then again, he doesn't do any trick on it either. Maybe for a 17 year old , he stand most of the time and does tricks. But sit and just ride. No way. Knees would hit the bars

It is a pretty large frame. I am 5'8" and its ok, but I think 5'4" could be awkward. Still, its a great bike and a great price.

No, I think that's too old for this bike. My son is a tall 5 year old that weighs 65 lbs, and he fits it just fine right now.

No, not at all. I am 5 foot tall and it's a great bike! Not too large at all. I really enjoy the bike, you won't be sorry if you get it.

My little one is 4 1/2, 42 pounds, 42 inches. No issues, and he rides it on all surfaces, inside and out. It is just a sturdy balance bike! He will get too tall before he gets too heavy.

We bought the 24 " for our 11 year old mentally challenged son and it is perfect for him. He will have a lot of growing room on this bike. I am short--5 ft.2" and I ride it, also. We have the seat as far down as it can go , which means we still have lots of growing room. Best purchase we have made for our son.

I think it will be perfect. My son got this bike at age 3 1/2 last Christmas and he was about that size. He is now 40" and is riding it without the training wheels and it is perfect for him.

I purchased the bike for my daughter who is 53" tall. She rides with the seat on the lowest possible position, and she is able to comfortably reach the pedals at this height. I'm afraid that a 48" tall child won't be able to reach the pedals quite yet.

It may be. If heseems to have good motor skills it should be ok. My three year old grandson seems to prefer his tricycle at present. He is over thirty some pounds. He will probably use this bike before he turns four.
