My son is just turning 5 years old. He is 47" tall. He has a 16" two wheeler now but needs something bigger. Will he fit this bike or is it too big?

We have a 6 year old son who is 49" tall and he is riding a 16" bike and it works well for him but is a tad bit on the small size. This bike is too big. We got it for our 8 year old son who is 4' 8" and it's just right for him. A quick Google search on "kids bike size chart" will yield all the information you need. Many of the charts suggest you go by inseam instead of/in addition to height.

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!

Yes , I would say so . We purchased this bike last year for our daughter who is now around 48inches tall now. I think it would be alittle to small for her.

I agree. I got mine for my 6 year old and it's perfect size for him. He just needs a lighter bike but same size for tricks

I bought this bike for my 3 1/2 yr old grandson for Christmas 2012. He rode it this past summer but outgrew it quite quickly. This year I am getting him an 18 inch bike, with room to grow ;0)

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

Yes, this bike would be too small. My 6 & 8-y-o both have this bike. The frame is shorter. It is also a beginner bike so when you back peddle it brakes so it makes it tough to do tricks and stuff

I bought this bike for my Daughters 7th B-day. She was about 48" it was just the right size. She has grown quite a bit in the year we have had it, and it still fits her fine. It has been a great bike.

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.

I bought this bike for my 3 year old grandson and he is as tall as most 4 year old boys. I have the seat at its highest level and he really needs the next size up....16"? His friend is 4 and calls the bike a baby bike because of its size so, unless your child is very petite/small, you need to buthe bigger bike.

I am buying a 16 or even 18 inch bike for my 5 year old. He outgrew the 12 inch bike so quickly! The bigger bikes now have quick release seat adjustments which is a really nice and useful feature. And many of them come with training wheels which is another nice feature as my 5 year old still uses them :)

I bought this bike for my 3yr old and he will be five in January. He is small for his age, but it still fits him fine. I would say it is dependent on how big he is. It might just fit him, so it may not last more than a year or two.

My grandson is a tall 7 year old, 52" tall and if anything it is just a LITTLE big for him but he has no problem riding it. Hope this helps.

I would think it would be too big...I bought this bike for my grand-daughters 5th birthday and she is a head taller than everyone in her class.

My son is about half that weight and he fits perfectly. So I would say you should maybe find a larger sized bike.

The frame measured from the bottom of the crank tube to the top of where the seat post enters is 18". Remember the added 3" of the tires make it equivalent to a 21" bike. I would think that for anyone under 5'11" this bike would be too big.

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 :)
