Hello, My daughter is 6 years and about 4" tall, weighs about 36 pounds. Will this be suitable or should I consider an 18" bike for her?

Based on a height of 48" I think she'd be able to go up to an 18" bike. She could definitely fit on this one but would probably outgrow it soon.

I gifted to my niece who is about 5 years old and 25 pounds in weight.It was perfect for her.If the growth of your daughter is very high then you should go for 18" bike.

I would consider the 18 inch bike for her. My daughter is 5 1/2, she's tall for her age and getting close to 50 pounds. The 16 inch bike is starting to look small for her.

Depends on her experience. If she is still using training wheels go with this. If she can ride without, I might go with the next size to get more use out of it. If money isn't an issue, tho, this is probably closer to what she would need right now.

We got this bike for our son who is 4ft 6in as well. He has no issues with it and loves the bike. When we first got it he was actually a little smaller. The bike was slightly big for him at that time but he was still able to quickly adjust to getting on and off and has had no issues riding it.

My 7 & 8 year old girls can ride this fine. They are smaller than average for their age though. If your 6 year old is really tall it might be tight. But otherwise should be fine :)

My little one is 4 1/2, 42 pounds, 42 inches. No issues, and he rides it on all surfaces, inside and out. It is just a sturdy balance bike! He will get too tall before he gets too heavy.

My son was approximately 36" when I purchased it for him. He had no problem getting on and off. If he's shorter than that you may want to wait until he is a little taller. It's a good starter bike, especially for the price.

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel. Have you looked into coaster bikes?

It may be a little too big for her. My daughter is 45 1/2 inches tall and she can't touch the ground yet when riding this bike.

I purchased the bike for my daughter who is 53" tall. She rides with the seat on the lowest possible position, and she is able to comfortably reach the pedals at this height. I'm afraid that a 48" tall child won't be able to reach the pedals quite yet.

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.

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 have a 36" tall 2 year old, she can ride the balance bike like a pro. My 4 year old can still ride it even though its to small for him so I figure she will have a good year or two she can ride it.

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 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.

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"+.

I am 6'2" and weigh 220lbs. The bike is just fine for me. You will not have any issues.

I have this bike and love it but I am 5'3'' and it is only an inch too high for me I think it may feel a little small if you are 6 ft. When I was looking up reviews for this bike prior to buying it many people said it was more appropriate for a woman than a man because it's not very large. Hope this helps. Good luck!
