My 2 year old is 36" tall. Will he be tall enough to reach the pedals? I am trying to decide between this one and a radio flyer big wheel.

Only if he has long legs. My son is 38" and can just barely reach but is not comfy enough to ride well

My son is 37" and still can't reach the pedals, even with the blocks on the pedals. I'm hoping he will reach them next summer when he's 3.

Hi Makayla...we bought this for my son right before he turned 14 and he loved it. I don't know how tall you are but he is about 5 ft tall and my only concern was that he would outgrow it a bit quickly. I think he still rides it and enjoys it! Good luck!

I think this bike would be too tall for him. I'd select a bike with a smaller wheel size. Our kids are five, and tall for their age, and I don't think they could have been riding this much sooner. Our kids are 42"+.

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!

Would have to be a shorter 8 year old. My son got this when he was 6 and loved it. He will be 8 later this month. He still loves it but is almost too tall for the pedals. He is 4 feet 2 inches

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.

My son will be 4 in August and is 41 inches and he can just barely touch the pedals. Anything shorter probably is no good.

We bought this for our then 2 year old. He is now 3. Our 6 year old rides it to with no problems. He's tall for his age and is 50 pounds. I hope this helps!!

I do know my daughter is a little over 3 foot tall and she isn't quite tall enough to pedal yet. She can reach the pedals if she scooches all the way up she can reach them but can't really use them yet. I would say probably 40" is correct.

My son is 34" tall, and he cannot reach the pedals yet. The seat is adjustable, and we have it on the shortest of the 3 available settings.

I bought this for my 2-year old. The seat definitely goes down low enough for two-year old height. She loves putting things in the little pouch in front and LOVES the water bottle. Developmentally, she wasn't quite ready for a bike right at 2. She's slowly learned to peddle and propel herself a little, but at 2.5, she's still not strong enough to peddle unless we are on even pavement. We use the back handle a lot. I'm hoping this bike will grow with her for a couple more years. It's a solid choice, but you might also consider a balance bike (without peddles) to ease your child into the world of bicycles.

My almost 4 grandson is about 42" tall too. I think he is on the edge of being to tall for the bike. He loves riding it still. I think we will be going for a pedal bike this summer. You might look into a balance bike with 16" wheels. That may fit better and have some grow room too.

I think the 14 inch wheels are good for a first bike, even for a taller child. My older son tried the bike out (maybe the size of a 6 year old) and said it was a good ride & the wheels seemed ok for him. The seat can be raised for a talker child.

I bought this for my son on his forth birthday (Approx 42lbs and 42in). It is perfect for him. He still has room to grow with it and he absolutely loves riding it. His two year old brother is too small for it so he hooks up his wagon to it and pulls him around that way. The best way to tell if they can handle it is if they are already pedaling on their own. If they are then its probably perfect.

My son is not yet two and he can reach the pedals just fine. The seat is adjustable and I have it in the most forward position. I think you'll be cool unless your two year old is on the much smaller side. good luck! :-)

I bought this for my daughter when she was 8. She is tall for her age, but not extremely so. She had no trouble riding it. We had the seat fairly low (not bottomed out), but now (she is 10) we have moved it up 1/2 way. It took her a while to get used to the gears, but since we live on a hill, I felt it necessary for her to get used to them. She now loves the gears, although she doesn't use all of them yet. I suspect any girl that can already ride a bicycle and is of the appropriate height would be able to ride this. Basically, if your child is taller than the average height of an 8 year old girl, they will be tall enough. If they are taller than an average 12 year old, maybe get a bigger bike. As a test, I put my just-turned-8-year-old son on it and it is a hair too big. He is somewhat smaller than his sister was at that age. I hope this helps. Oh - specifics: My daughter is now 4' 10" and it fits her fine. Much taller, and while this bike would work, you might want the next size up for growing room... She was 4' 6"ish when we bought it. Of course, leg length matters. Kids with longer legs can get slightly bigger bikes. Kids with shorter legs needs somewhat smaller bikes. My suggestion is to go to a bike or toy store, and put your kid on bikes of differing wheel sizes. Find the right size. This bike has a bit lower seat than normal for the size of tires.
