Yes, when you assemble the bike you will see how the handle bars can be adjusted.

I didn't try it out, but it looks like you can. When you loosen one of the srews, it should be adjustable.

No they do not adjust. But it is a great bike. My son is very small for 4 and it works great for him.

he rear handle bar is attached to the front seat and can be adjusted slightly depending on the height of the front seat. the front is not adjustable

Our almost 4 year old can reach the handle bars just fine. For now she reaches the pedals...but not enough to actually pedal. She still enjoys the ride and as fast as she seems to grow, it will be great fit in a few months time!

The handlebar is adjustable, so you can lower it for a toddler but then raise it for an older child. I bought this for my granddaughter the Christmas she was 4, and she will be 7 this month and is still playing with it, it is well build and really cute.

The column that the handlebars mount on to can be adjusted in height but no other adjustment is possible. I wish it was. I'm 5'10" and thought that I had average length arms, but even with the seat adjusted as far forward as possible I can only just reach the bars.

Maybe, I'm 5 ft 8 inches, and I can't quite get it to adjust just right for me. I need the handle bars another 2 inches higher and the seat to come forward another 1 inch. Doesn't sound like a lot, and it's not, if you are just going to ride around the block, but if you are going to ride all day it gets real uncomfortable riding.

I don't think so. The handle bars are fixed. My son is about that height and he is using it without problem except the seat needs some good cushioning.

The handle bars are nice, however the grips are not removable. We had purchased other ones that we could not use.

There are two kinds of front fork/handlebar systems. (1) The old style pre-2000 or so, where you loosened up a long bolt on top, and then, could slide the bars up and down about 3 inches. It was an expanding bolt inside the front fork. (2) The newer style where there is a handlebar mount that clamps onto the outside of a fixed length front fork. These do not have that adjustment. The Montague Paratrooper I bought has this newer type, so no adjustment - to my knowledge. The only way to raise the handlebars is to get a different "clamp" that holds the handlebars to the front fork, that has some lift in it. There are even some that are adjustable. This would be a second purchase after the bicycle.

We had an issue with the bike only going in reverse. We had to take the seat off and check the wiring, it was loose. I would suggest doing the same. I eventually sold the 2 I bought for $5 at a garage sale. The back wheel never stayed on. Worst money I ever spent. Good luck and I hope your child does enjoy their toy.

Our daughter just turned 1 and she loves being pushed around on it. She can't reach the pedals. But she can lean forward and get he hands on the handle bars if we don't have the shoulder straps on too tight. Even when she was more wobbly and we had the shoulder straps tight, she could just sit there and kick her feet and ride. Like a stroller at that age, but more fun :) hope that helps.

We have only had ours for a few days but my just turned 2 year old really likes it and my 3 yr old absolutely loves it! I really like the push handle and feel like it will help him learn how to pedal. Hope this helps!

no the handle bar doesn't adjust to height. my son is 2 and even the handle arrives to his chest but it doesn't bother him to scoot around. we ditched the stroller and go everywhere with it. he doesn't know how to stop yet, so I push him around in the street, in the shopping center...everywhere.

Im afraid he probably won't get too much use out of it. My son is just over 36 inches and his knees hit the handle bars now. Not to mention he is a bit too heavy for it now and he weighs 30 # now. Hope this helps.

My 13-month old is able to sit on it, buckled in, but that's about it. But I have to say I'm not a big fan of this bike. There's too much give when you lick the steering wheel for the child. You have to overcompensate steering...it's not very responsive. Fine as a trike but handle is not great for parents.

I bought this glider for my 3 yr. old grandson. It is perfect & can the handlebars & seat be adjusted for growth. It should last until he is almost 5 & ready for a real two wheeler with pedals.

No, the handlebar is not adjustable. But we have had various people of all sizes push it and all of them agree that it is one of the best jogging strollers they have used.
