Can a child over 40 lbs use the fly bike?

My son who is just about 2 and 27lbs fits perfectly on this and has fun gliding around the house. My 4 year old girl is about 40lbs scoots on it but she's pushing being a little to tall and big for it. The small one is for little kids. If they have larger sizes that would be better.

Yes my six and eight year olds get on it hold up they are around 60lbs. And my 4 year old is 37 and rides it all around the house.

Definitely. My daughter is 37 inches and she reaches the pedal just fine. We bought this so she wouldn't grow out of it so fast like the other ones. She is even able to tote her 9 year old sister around with no problems as well. The product is worth it.

My child was about 39"-40" when she got it for Christmas. She was just able to pedal it, and loved it. Within a couple of months she grew into it more.

Yes, but if your child weighs more than 38lbs the LATCH connectors are not to be used. For children more than 38 lbs, the seat must be installed using the seat belt and the "Clicktight" mechanism.

Yes 30-40 lbs is no problem. Keep in mind they might not get along due to long periods of time.

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.

Bought it for my son who is about 40 lbs, but my older daughter is 70 lbs and it can hold her. If ridden on grass, the more the child weighs, the harder it is for them to pedal.

I think that this bike will have a bit too much power for him because its a fast bike. His size might work but the speed will probably worry me since he's really only 6 years old.

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.

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.

The seat on the Go Glider goes from 17" to 25" so your child would not be able to touch the ground, flat footed, which is the preferred way to learn to ride. I would recommend waiting a bit before purchasing the bike or choosing a 12" bike with a taller seat or choosing a 16" bike with a lower seat. There are a few 14" balance bikes on the market as well.

Yes. My ten year old 55" daughter rides comfortably with the seat at a low height. This may be the last bike she needs unless she grows more than another foot.

I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle.. I am 5 ft 1 in and unable to ride an adult bike because my legs are very short due to rickets as a child. My balance is also not that good. My husband has my seat adjusted and replaced the original seat with one that was wider for more balance and comfort. Make sure you have the right air in the tires..it makes it much easier to pedal. She would have to be able to pull the brakes that are on the handle bar, but it has no gears and rides very smooth. I wish we lived close by so she could try mine. I think maybe she could master this bike. It has been a joy to me since I also cannot master a two wheeler. Good luck and God Bless..

You can use it for a child up to a maximum weight of 45 lbs, as specified by the manufacturer.

I think you would be better off taking pedals off bigger bike. My child is 8, 66 pounds and has almost outgrown this. She is probably on a 20-24 inch bike now.

Probably not. Seat goes by height/weight NOT age! Weight limit is 40 lbs facing forward.

Our daughter who is 8 and in the 90% percentile for her height age has no problem using this bike. She rides the bike fairly hard as well, chasing behind her 11 year old brother. Hope this helps.
