Yes. Weight isn't an issue with this kart. It depends on height. The seat has a few adjustments to it and I've had kids ride it that were around that age on the first setting. They were about 49" -53".

I don't think weight is a problem. How tall he is and how long his legs are may be more important. The seat has tree positions, so I think it should work OK.

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.

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.

You will have to assemble this bike. Also, it is a little too much bike for my 8 year old son.

The bike weighs about 20lbs. My son is 3 1/2 and he can handle it okay. He's average for his age, so you should be fine.

Would depend on child size. One of my sons friends rode his, little over four foot tall and 75lbs, and he was not too big for it. Hope this helps.

Yes, for adults too. I'm 5'8" and ride daily. Believe it goes up to 180 or 200 lbs.

My son is 80lbs and that board feels like it can take really up to a 100lb max. It is narrow and would not be stable under a heavier load.

Not sure. Our 8 year old weighs 75 pounds, and he doesn't even come close to stressing the joints or wheels - even during hard turns. My guess is that they'll hold at least 130 - 150 lbs., and probably more than that if the rider is just doing straight lines on flat pavement. After the frustration of watching normal training wheels buckle, having these sturdy wheels for out 2 youngest sons has been great peace of mind for us and great fun for them.

It would depend on how coordinated he/she is. If he can push/pull with his feet them he can ride it.

Not sure, but my 200 pound son rode it just fine. I don't remember the weight limit. Since I was buying it for my very petite 8 year old grandson, I guess it never occurred to me to check. Sorry!

My son rides it . He is 6ft. 180lbs. I guess it would depend on tire pressure. It's well built

Not at all. My husband 6 ft and weighs 180 rides this all the time! The kids fight to get it! She will have a blast!

I don't believe it is. My 4 year who is considered tall for his age, was able to ride it. A 3-year old would be fine.

I purchased one for my 2 year old grandson and he loves it. Only my opinion, but I would say that your son may be a bit tall for this balance bike. YBIKE does make the Extreme for older kids that may be a better option.

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.
