I have a special needs child who is 8 and on the small side. He is 42 inches really and 40lbs. Would this work for him?

Yes, we have a special needs grandchild who is also 8 and is small too, he rides the tricycle just fine as the seat is adjustable.
1053807
Yes. My child was the same size of yours and she can play with this tricycle.

Perhaps, depending on where he rides his bike. The Schwinn has a wide back wheel base. This is good for stability. Especially on those quick turns. However, if he's riding on a sidewalk, next to a road, he may get too close to the road and tip over into the road. This is the only problem. It's a great bike.

No, the concept of the bike would be grate yet the size is a bit too small. I bought it for my 2yr old and weve already hd to upgrade. These are also sold st Sams Club and some wal-marts so if you can go see it, you should

Hi, Your child's weight is not an issue. The tricycle construction is very study, and would not 'buckled' with the child's weight. The height of the tricycle's seat from the ground is about a foot or so. If he is that tall already, its usefulness might be short-lived. My son, currently at 41" prefers his bicycle, although some of it might be induced by a 'distinction' grown-up factor from his younger sister. I've bought 3 of these for various family members. Most kids, however, would prefer the cheaper but lighter weight version you found in the local department stores, if presented as simultaneous options. I find it amusing that parental preferences/criteria are superseded by that of their children (which probably should be the case). Good luck.

Hello,Yes..:) its also extremely stabel and wont tip over. My son turns the corners very fast and it does not tilt or tip over. Its a great sturdy tricycle.:) i get tons of compliments when we are out. If you buy it and it doesnt fit right. they can easily return it.:) My son is 3.5 and close to 41 pounds, and he is on the tall side and it fits him fine..Good luck.

It does adjust fairly small - should work for you. My son is small, 13 yrs old and he can adjust it to fit just fine.

I used it for my son who was 7mths old at the time and it was perfect he too was small. It should be fine. It is for up to 30lbs

Probably not; our 4 year old is 27 lbs , quite short and she wore it for her 4th bday party. She is about the size of a 3 yr old. We loved it! Extremely well built, the bottom can be removed and the price was right!

It might be too small. I bought it for my son when he was 2. He is 4 now it it's snug. My son is very tall and average weight.

This will definitely work for you. My boy is 48in and about 44 pounds. And we spend a week in NY and that was all I used.

It would be pretty small. It's perfect for my avg sized 4 yr old, for example.

Not mine, who is about 4' 2''. We used it a week or 2 ago. He does have a longer torso than average but I don't think it would be a problem

I would guess so. It is designed for babies 15-30 pounds and it worked on my very slight daughter last summer when she was about 14 mos and 19 pounds. She didn't complain about wearing it either.

My son still uses it but he is failure to thrive so is still pretty small for 18 months. 18 lbs. And he is 25 inches long and still fits comfortable Hope this helps.

Probably. It's appropriate for my almost 2-year old who is on the small side. Good luck!

He's gonna need somwmething more sturdy. I'm only 4' 11 its perfect for me. Yes it would be a frustration. Its more for shorter people. You would be better getting something else

My son is not quite 40 lbs. it works perfectly for him, but I'm not sure about a 100 lb child. Sorry I can't be more help.

My daughter is about three feet tall and her weight is thirty pounds, she is fives years old but the size of a two or three yrs old it works well for her, we put a pillow in it. I think this chair maybe too small for your child. I hope this help you.

I am in the same situation as you and I'm keeping my daughter in it until 40 lbs. then you can take out the 5 pt harness and use it as a booster with a seat belt.

I don't believe so. My son is 8, 4ft tall and 50lbs. It is getting too small for him.

I would imagine it would be too short. It fits my not yet 4 year old nearly perfectly. I believe the length to be 45 inches or thereabout.
