Is this bike too large for a 43" tall boy?

My son is is 4 years old and 44 ". He has been riding this bike for about a year now. He loves it, and I would say we have another year or so before he outgrows it! So too large? Definitely not. I think it would be perfect for him.

Not sure their heights at certain ages, but my two boys rode this bike from 2 til 5...

Hi Susie, I personally thought this was a great bike for my grandson who was five at the time of purchase. Remember it's a glide and does not have wheels. My grandson loved the bike but preferred the wheels. It is an EXCELLENT 1st bike for little guys. If you have not watched the video please do so. It is great for teaching balance and can not me any easier to put together, 5min. Best of wishes with your decision. Enjoy! Donna KDonna T. Kasinak answered on January 25, 2013

I would get the mini glider for a 43" tall boy. If you look at the reviews, there is one that mentions the go glider is too tall for a 43" boy. I recommend getting both if you have a younger child too.

My son used it when he was 45". we had originally ordered a skuut bike, but had to return because it was too small and fit my 3 yr old instead of my 5 yr old. however, my sons are long in the torso, which is what you need to reach the handles and steer.

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.

No. I'd say that's the perfect height for this bike. My kid is 44 inches tall and still loves this bike over his regular bike with pedals. I highly recommend this bike, it taught my kid how to balance on a bike in less than a week!

The bike is short to the ground - we purchased for my son for his 3rd birthday and it does help for it to be low to the ground as the feet have to do all the work. There is a big difference between the 12" to 16" but the 16" will definitely last him longer. My son is in 3T clothing and the 12" bike is a good size for him. If your grandson is bigger - I would probably look at the bigger bike that he will grow into?

Bought the bike when daughter was 46 tall. It was too big for her. She is now 50' and 7 years and it seems to be a good fit now. Hope that helps.

I bought this bike for my son for his 6th birthday. He is 44" tall and it is perfect for him. It's a great bike!

It would be perfect. I have a 3 1/2 boy who rides it like crazy. It's a great bike.

My nephew is 48 inches and 46 lbs and the bike is the perfect size for him. the bike is not too high from the ground, maybe a foot and a half. I think it might be a little small at 52 inches because the knees might be too close to the handle bars, my nephews are right in line with the seat. Otherwise the bike is easy to handle for a young boy.

Not sure if this helps or not, but my son is 42" tall, and fits on this bike perfectly. He's fit just fine since the day we bought it, about 6 months ago.

It's a great bike. I purchased this bike for my son's 7th birthday and it fit him like a glove. He was a couple of inches taller than your son at the time, but your son should have no problems with it. It's actually a very well constructed bike (which is why you're considering this one from the start). After 2 1/2 years and a few seat and handlebar adjustments, he still rides it.

My three year old is over 3 foot tall and still have adjustment for the height I would say purchase it you will be fine. It is a great bike which is like the strider but works just as well if not better. My boy loves it.

No, mine was about 33 inches tall when we bought it and he rides it like a champ. I highly recommend this bike, my 5 yr old rode it for a bit too- after a short time he jumped on his bike and took his training wheels off.

Of course! my daughter was four, when i purchased the bike.... the seat is low. and she can really grow into bike even more.... my daughter did not have a problem with the size at all. she is tall too! 3'8 inches tall... get it!

Yes, it is great for the size/age. Might be tough on his legs getting used to it, but that is normal. The construction on this bike isn't as good as others -- but for the price this is perfect for the age!

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

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.

I bought 12in before my son was 4 years old and he is a little tall. I recommend this bike size before 4 years. I believe he should be good to go for a couple years.

I think our son is about 43 inches tall right now. He can ride very comfortably. However when we first got it about a year ago he had a little bit of trouble. I can't remember his exact height at that time though. At Most, she might have just a little bit of trouble reaching the pedals; however you can buy some pedal raisers that would fix the problem.
