What height range is this bike recomended for? My almost 4 year old is 3'6''. I hope he isn't too tall for this product.

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.

The seat can be raised and lowered quiet a bit. Its great for all ages. Some of the neighbor kids (around age 7) ride around on my daughters no pedal bike. It teaches balance even if the child is "too tall". My daughter is 4 and the bike is still on a low setting.

That's definitely at the upper end of the range. My daughter was 42in tall when we got hers. She can use it fine but her knees are bent when she does. You might check if the Strider adjusts higher. Good luck!

Our tall 3 year old can just barely reach the pedals. He is not yet able to actually pedal the bike. Will be great this summer when he is four. The Schwinn is a very solid built trike.

I bought this for my daughter when she was 8. She is tall for her age, but not extremely so. She had no trouble riding it. We had the seat fairly low (not bottomed out), but now (she is 10) we have moved it up 1/2 way. It took her a while to get used to the gears, but since we live on a hill, I felt it necessary for her to get used to them. She now loves the gears, although she doesn't use all of them yet. I suspect any girl that can already ride a bicycle and is of the appropriate height would be able to ride this. Basically, if your child is taller than the average height of an 8 year old girl, they will be tall enough. If they are taller than an average 12 year old, maybe get a bigger bike. As a test, I put my just-turned-8-year-old son on it and it is a hair too big. He is somewhat smaller than his sister was at that age. I hope this helps. Oh - specifics: My daughter is now 4' 10" and it fits her fine. Much taller, and while this bike would work, you might want the next size up for growing room... She was 4' 6"ish when we bought it. Of course, leg length matters. Kids with longer legs can get slightly bigger bikes. Kids with shorter legs needs somewhat smaller bikes. My suggestion is to go to a bike or toy store, and put your kid on bikes of differing wheel sizes. Find the right size. This bike has a bit lower seat than normal for the size of tires.

The bike is adjustable, but I'm not sure to what height. I am 5'7" and I was able to adjust it perfectly for my height.

I bought this bike for my three year old and I don't believe it is age appropriate for a three year old or even four year old. I would say more like 5.5 years and up. Both my 3 and 4 year old were not very happy with this bike and it did seem kind of cumbersome for them.

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 tall 2 old (26 months) is still too short, maybe in another 6 to 8 months it will fit but then it's winter again. My tall 4 1/4 yr old son could still ride it but has no more use for it since the bike without training wheels is more fun for him.

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.

My son used this bike when he turned 5; he was a few inches shy of 44" and it was great.

Hi Leon,I think you'll enjoy this bike. I'm 6'2" and are very comfortable, plus the seat is adjustable. I hope this is helpful. Enjoy, Mark

My son was approximately 36" when I purchased it for him. He had no problem getting on and off. If he's shorter than that you may want to wait until he is a little taller. It's a good starter bike, especially for the price.

Good bike but for 6'3" I'd suggest trying before buying. I don't think weight will be an issue

Yes it would be good for 5'4". My daughters are about 5'1" and had to have the seat lowered all the way down. However if you do decide to buy this bike you most likely will be needing to take it to the bike shop for missing parts and adjustments. Both of my daughters bikes were missing crank washers so they couldn't be ridden until we had them fixed. They love them now though! Just keep that in mind.

I have a friend that is 6'4 and he got on it without a problem. It is a good exercise bike. I like it...

My kids are both at about 3 ft, 8 inches, and this bike (and another 18 inch bike I bought for his twin sister) are both borderline too big for them. We have the seats down as low as they will go. I doubt that it will be too small for him, but he might outgrow it sooner.

My granddaughter is about 4' 8". I would say this bike is good for around 4' 6" to 5' 4"

My boy just turned 4 back in November and he's 42-43 inches tall. This bike fits him perfect but then again he seems more comfortable on his sisters 16 inch wheel bike. I hope this helps in making your decision. God Bless!
