IS this too big for a 7 year old boy? Should I go with a travel size or 3/4 size?

The neck is about 19 and a half inches long, and two inches at its widest and one inch wide at the top. The length should not be a problem but it depends on how big his hands are as he will have to wrap his hand around the neck and be able to hit all five strings. It is not terribly heavy when compared with other banjos I have played, so the weight should not be an issue for a child. Hope this helps.

It's too big for a 7 year old. My 8 year old cannot comfortably manage it and he's tall for his age.

This is a full-size banjo. As to if it's too big, I was about to answer yes, but then I thought of the Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, and I guess the answer is... not necessarily.

It is full size, so I suppose that depends on what you'd like him to learn on first. My 8 year old plays on my banjo at times and she just sits down first and that seems to help a lot.

I will only be estimating here, but it was a little big for my small 3 year old grandson. I think size would be 4/5 maybe even a small 6. My grandson is a smaller than average 3 year old. He loved it even though it was a bit big. Hope thus is of help.

Plenty of leg room. My kids are younger than yours but my 9 year old niece, who seems tall for her age (~4'8" or so), loves it and does not have leg room issues. This 4-wheeler is larger than the normal "powerwheel" size vehicles. I would guess a small 7 year old would get years of enjoyment out of it.

I would think its too big for a 3 year old. We bought for a 5 year old and we had to adjust the seat and handlebars all the way down. I would start with a 12 or 14

I think it would be small for a 7-year-old. I bought it for our 2-year-old granddaughter and it fits her just right.

it depends on how much he weighs. If he is average size, I would get a small. They are true to size. My granddaughter was 7 when I got hers and she is petite and the small was perfect for her. So, being a boy, I would say small and he should get at least a good year of use. I hope this helped you! Have a Merry Christmas and good luck

If it fits she will grown out of it really fast. My daughter is 3 and is already outgrowing it. You should buy the age 4-7 size.

My son is 3 and he fits just fine. He was 31lbs and 37 1/2 inches at his checkup a couple months ago. I think if you think he will like it, it should be fine. Kids will squeeze into whatever makes them happy!

I bought it for an average size 7-8 year old. Would depend on your boys size

My son was about the same age and height when we got it. It had plenty of room. We got it because the travel crib was too small at that point

My 7 year old is using a Pro 23 and he is average or slightly shorter than average. See if they offer size recommendations.

You probably need to go with a 1/2 size, especially for the 7 year old. Maybe even a 3/4 for the 10 year old. I guess it also depends on how tall/big your boys are. My daughter is 5 (average height) and she is using a 1/4 size. I am NOT an expert by the way.

We have a 3/4 and it fits fine. It might be a little tight for a full size. Nice quality.

I have a 4 yr old as well, and it is too big for him, fits my 9 yr old well.

Even if you slide the seat all the way forward, in my opinion it will be too big for a 3 year old. My son just turned 5, and it is perfect for him. He started riding it around 4 1/2, and it was a little difficult for him at that time. I believe there is a smaller model, that may be more suitable. My 7 and 8 year old also fit on this when they slide the seat all the way back.
