I'm 5-5, is this one best or should I get the larger one? I like the all terrain idea, but would the big one be too bulky in the house?

I, too, am 5'5" & find this model perfect. I does take some maneuvering inside but passes over rugs and thresholds easily compared to stand up walker. It truly is all terrain as I've been in grass, gravel, streets without problem. However, watch and tighten the bottom screw between the front wheel cables as it loosens & could easily be lost. We also had to adjust brakes substantially. Brake shouldn't be counted on to stop you! I covered black pad with lambswool (the real stuff from Ocean State Job Lots as a floor buffer mat @$5) as knee can get sore and sun absorbs blistering heat.

the recipient of the petite all terrain scooter is 5ft 4in tall and the scooter works well for her. Definitely works well in the house and outside as well, would say the scooter has been all terrain so far.

If this one will accomodate someone who is 5-5, I would go with this one. I contemplated the larger one because the tires are larger and I have to go down to the barn to feed a horse. However, I decided this one would work and I'm glad because in the house, it's a bit bulky for turning.

I purchased this for my cousin because she didn't have an Amazon account. She loves this kneewalker. She is 5'6" or 5'7". According to her, the all terrain tires are great!

I'm 5'7" and this worked great for me. I was also planning to go for the larger one, but feel now that it would have been too big. This really was a good size. The all terrain wheels allowed me to walk (or rather scoot) outside over rough pavement and even some walking trails, but it easily goes over door jambs and from wood or tile floor to carpet. I used it on the main level of my house and just used crutches upstairs, rather than carrying it up and down - it's a bit heavy for that. It doesn't make the sharpest turns so I would have to "pick up" the front end to move around my kitchen island. I have a small half bath on the main level of my house and I was able to fit it through the door with no problem. I'm 5'7" and this worked great for me.

This one is pretty large in size in my opinion, and I'm 5'7". I cannot maneuver through my house with it upstairs because of its width, but I much prefer using this downstairs and throughout the kitchen as opposed to crutches. I took a pretty nasty fall on it yesterday, though. I'd advise gripping the brake before attempting to get on it, because it can easily topple over.

I am 4 '10 and it worked good for me. Not sure for you. It may be. However, the all terrain is pretty big.. like a trike, so the regular size might be taller but not as bulky as wheels may be not as wide. It is not as easy to use as it looks... I struggled a bit... it was hard on my knee. Still useful.. let me get some activity during the rough period.

Gosh, it depends upon how many handholds you have, how old (how big) the kids are and, of course, how much room you have! I favor the 12' one, simply because its size makes it more versatile for things like building a fort indoors (draping it over tables, etc), and is more manageable for the kids to handle and pack around. Also, if there are kids on every handhold--and I think there are at least 8 handholds on the 12' version--they can get a great "billow" effect on the 12' 'chute, as opposed to the 20'. I guess I'd recommend the 12' for your gang. It's a great party game thing as well as creative play. Have fun!

No its not to small. My grandson just turned 4 and is pretty tall and still has ample room to stand/play inside. The stickers do not stay on long due to weather conditions and if you live in a area where it gets windy, make sure you anchor it down. I have ours between houses and thought with its heavy weight I was ok. I have had to get someone to roll it back over 3 times already this year, because its to big for me to handle.

Probably this one. I'm not sure what size options you have. I got it for my son last year and this year he is 5'1" and 100 lbs and says it's still the right size. We just need a bigger hill! We did get him the protective gear too!

I'm 5'6" and the 28" X25 works quite well for me. Soft wood like alder splits like it isn't even there. Harder wood like douglas fir may take a couple of whacks. The X25 feels pretty top heavy since the handle has very little weight. I wouldn't want it to be any longer since I think it would be harder to precisely control the point of impact.

I disagree with the other review, this is not "mini sized" and I'm not sure what she meant by it being hard to use, it's a walker for goodness sake. I have 10 month old twins, have this and another walker (more expensive and sadly, exactly the same construction - this one is a better deal), and this one is my favorite. My twins are large for their age, height and weight-wise, and this one is awesome. And it really takes a beating. I'm not sure about the max weight limit, but I can say it keeps a nearly 25 lb toddler relatively out of trouble for quite some time. Since my little ones stand in it (not just sit), it doesn't need to support too much of their weight. I would definitely buy it again.

It's really not very good on rough or rocky terrain, although locking the front wheel will help a little (but that makes it harder to turn), and it's better than most strollers - I have yet to try ANY that are good for rough or rocky terrain. It's a beast just to get it up/down curbs and wobbles a lot, so best to stick to smooth surfaces. As long as I stay on pavement/sidewalks, it's a dream and I can handle it with one hand. If I'm going off-road for walks and hikes, we use the Kelty backpack instead :)

We bought two of these for our 2 1/2 year old twin boys for Christmas, and they love them. They are bigger than they look, and they go fast (I have to run to keep up with them). Unless your boy is tall for his age, I would recommend getting a smaller one or holding off 6 months or so for this big of a quad. My boys started riding smaller quads at 1 1/2 years old so they were used to them and ready for this size. Good luck!

It's honestly personal preference. I started on the regular ripstick when I was around the same age. And I'm fairly short. Now as an "adult" I enjoy the smaller one because it requires less effort to make it move. It's really a personal preference. If you can take him to Walmart and find the ripstiks out of the package and let him try them out to see which one he likes. I would suggest the mini one if he's a little fella. If the smaller one was an option when I was I kid k would've gotten one.

I have a VERY LARGE 3yo that fits alright in here... he's wearing 5t or size small if that's a helpful Guage. I don't know that if his little brother (almost 2) was as big a guy as he is they would fit comfortably in it for much longer than another year. So I'd say it depends on how long you plan on using it? We also have a 6 row expedition. Folds up and fits just fine in the back w all rows up. Of all the strollers I've ever had (5 maybe?) This one's been the easiest to Collapse and lock.

I would definitely recommend the bigger one.I bought one for my granddaughter for her 4th birthday. Had it out for her party. Kids of all ages loved it. We even had 1 4 month old. (With supervision. )

Definitely go bigger; go for a 24" to learn on. If I had to do it all again, I would not buy this brand unicycle. A good adult uni is the Torker LX (as opposed to the CX, which is like $20 less but much cheaper quality. I bought a CX for my girl and regret not spending the little bit more for something decent).

I am 5'5" and I like the short one. The weight matters a lot to me because I purchased it to hike great distances, and every ounce matters when you carry it all day over rough terrain. The only thing I had a problem with is the amount of room around the legs. I'm a pretty active sleeper and tend to move around a lot. Perhaps the 6' would have given me more room in that area as well. I'm very happy with it, however, and there was plenty of room at my feet and head as far as length.

I am 5'4" and have an ergo baby carrier. This is a great question to ask. The carrier fits my husband who is 5'8" much better than it fits me. At my height, it sits very low on the hips, which I like because it helps equally distribute baby weight over the entire back. This is the reason I bought the carrier. It does a fantastic job of distributing weight across mom or dad's body. I also find it very safe as I am very clumsy and worry about falling with baby. I would def try it out before investing the $$$. For me, I regret this purchase. 1. My baby is very hot natured and gets too hot being next to me. 2. The newborn insert makes the carrier way too bulky for me. 3. This is designed for average or thin adults. This is not designed for large busted women or overweight women. There is not enough room for all of mom and a baby too. 4. My baby is small and not yet able to completely straddle me, so he does not sit comfortably. At 7 months, I am getting a frame backpack carrier for general toting around. I had one with his brother and he loved it. Plus it solves all of the above issues. I knew better but I wanted the closeness the Ergo provided. Good luck!

I would say stick with the mini, I think the maxi will be too much to manage (the frame/handlebars and running board are much larger). My kids are also tall and they rode the mini until at least age 5.

I don't run on mine, buy my adult son is 5.6 and he didn't have any problems, not sure if that helps. Might depend on if you have shorter torso and longer legs or visa versa. Very solid treadmill, though.

i got one of the smaller ones and it is fine for me at 6'1. you may find it is hard to use it more than a few hours a day.
