Based on his height the bike may be a bit small for him. A better indicator would be to measure his inseam and see where he falls within the sizing I've listed below. Inseam 14-17 inches: 12 inch Bike Inseam 16-20 inches: 14 inch Bike Inseam 18-22 inches: 16 inch Bike Inseam 20-24 inches: 18 inch Bike

No, too small for him, I'm 6'3" 260lbs. Im not comfortable on the bike, my wife is 5'4", it's perfect for her. Hope this helps.

My daughter is 4' 8" and the bike might even be a little small for her. My wife is 5' 5" and rides a full size women's cruiser. So, I'd say that this bike is too small for you.

It's a 12-inch, so it may be too short. My toddler used a 12-inch for the longest time and rides a 16 now at age 5. If your little guy is a bit short for his age, then this may work for a while, BUT in the meantime, I'd suggest a 14". A too-small bike can make it just as difficult to learn to ride as a too-large one. Try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Dynacraft-Boys-Baseball-14-Inch-Wheels/dp/B005JHRU2A/ref=sr_1_2?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1381974794&sr=1-2 It's a 14", so it won't be *too* tall or too short. Or this one, if baseball isn't his thing: http://www.amazon.com/Jeep-Boys-Bike-14-Inch-Wheels/dp/B0046XOQUC/ref=sr_1_11?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1381974794&sr=1-11

My son is 9, he's about 4'2"-4'4". Bikes perfect for him. Very nice bike! Hope this helps. Easy to assemble!

I don't think so- my son is 2.5 and the bike fits him well with some growing room- but it is too small for my five year old. I think that, at 4, it'd be useable for her but would be outgrown soon.

Hello. My son is also five and 46" tall. He and his older buddies ride this comfortably. He wont get many more years out of it but at least a year, I think. If you live in warmer climate area, he should get plenty of use!

The size bike you get is best based on their height. My son is 42 inches. Just bought this bike and he is still struggling with it but it was a big jump up from his 12 in bike. He can pedal ok...just not as fast as he used to , its more bike to control.

Not at all, my son is 36" and he rides this tricycle well. There is actually room to grow with it because the handle bars and seat height are adjustable

I believe it would be too small...my granddaughter is 6 yrs old and the bike is perfect for her...not sure of her height though I would guess she's at least 4 ft 5 inches

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 this bike for my son. He is 9 years old and 52 inches tall. Sounds like your son is tall for his age, but this bike might be just a little too big. He might be better suited with a bike that has a 16 inch or 18 inch tire size. That brings the bike body a few inches closer to the ground. My son was riding an 18 inch up until he received this one as a gift.

Joseph, this bike is probably too big. My boys are 11 and both a little over 5ft. When they are on the seat in its lowest position they can't put a foot flat on the ground while bike is upright.

It depends how tall your child is. My grandson fits it great and really zips around on it. He is 4 1/2, and he is a bit short for his age. At age 3 1/2 he was working at it, but this year it is fun! Also, we have the seat adjusted as low as it will go. He has room to grow on this bike.

My son is almost 4 and 42 inches tall. He has no problem reaching the pedals.

Hope I'm not too late in responding to your question. When I was deciding which balance bike I should get for my son it wasn't easy so I came across a great website that has all sorts of helpful information called Two Wheeling Tots. My son is 39" and the seat height for this bike is 13"-17" so you may want to look into the 16 inch balance bike as well to see if it's more compatible for a 45" kid. Hope this helps :)

Mine is 38" tall and he can reach the pedals just fine. But I'd say if your child is less than 36" tall he/she may have some trouble reaching.
