My daughter is only 5 feet tall. will she be able to use this without difficulty?

I think so; my wife is 5' 5" and she sets it about half way. It gets pretty small. I'm 6' 2" and I'd like the handle bars to adjust higher so if anything it's on the small side.

She may be a little stretched out on it. Of course it is adjustable, I am 6' even and I have the seat post all the way up, so it could easily drop 6-8" but someone that height I think would be uncomfortable on it.

The problem is the legs to torso ratio is different for everyone. I'm about 5'5" but my legs are slightly shorter in proportion to my torso (I have sat down with taller people, but sitting down we are the same height). Even so, I can pedal this cycle perfectly with an inch above the lowest setting. For that reason, I would say anyone below 5'2" should look for another indoor cycle, one that caters to shorter people.

I am 5'8 I personally think you should look at a different machine for your daughter. I think it would be too uncomfortable perhaps although it does adjust saddle is uncomfortable that comes with it I had to buy a gel saddle for it.

I'm 5 even and the "stretch" to the pedals is barely noticeable- not something that is uncomfortable and could probably be fixed by adjusting the seat better. I did get a more cushioned seat like many others have mentioned. I only got the bike for recreational purposes so it's perfectly fine but if I were a more serious rider I'd try out a model in a local store to be sure.

Yes she should be able to. Also you might want to get a decent cushion for the seat. The seat isn't padded very well and it is hard to sit on.

I would not buy it. My two year old granddaughter has trouble with it because her legs are a bit long.. I think 5 years old is just too big..

I am 5' 6" and I am quite comfortable on this bike - it's adjustable if she needs to be closer to the pedals. Because it's a recumbent style, she won't be straining her arms trying to reach handlebars. I think it all depends on how short her legs are - I'm an average size so I don't have any problems. Good luck!

In not sure how tall she would have to be but, the seat goes down really low. I was nervous abut it at first because my daughter is so small but it worked out great.

It depends on how tall your child is and how high they will jump. My 5 year old who is average height has no problem, however my 7 year old has to be careful.

I'm not sure how big your five year old is but it seems like it might be small. I use this for my 2 year old and his sister who is 10 mos.

Shouldn't be a problem. I'm only 5'7" and I'm way up towards the front of the unit. This unit has a lot of adjustment in the seat. My son is the same height as you and has no problems.

As long as she can sit up on her own, hold on to the handles as needed she should be fine. My daughter and I started about age 2.5 and I felt she was secure. Good luck!

I am 5'4" and have not had any issues. I am sure you would be fine using it, and it is adjustable since you can always release/add air to your comfort.

When I got this for my daughter she was 5'1 - she is now 5'6. She has had no issues using this as she has grown. I hope this helps.

Although the student this was bought for is about 5'8" tall, I don't see any problems with a shorter person using it. She is very pleased with it.

Yes I am 5'3 and my daughter is 5'0 and as long as it's on the lowest seat setting, it works for us.

I think it may be a bit short. My 8 year old uses it, but she's only about 4 feet tall.

If she does, it won't be for long... my niece who just turned 6 is 45 pounds can barely fit for a few minutes comfortably. When my daughter who is probably about 34 inches sits in it, she probably only has a foot of space above her head (and less space for getting in and out as the roof arches up for more headspace once inside). You might want to look for another toy, or you can get this and enjoy it for a little while. I'm sure you could sell it easily when you're done with it (or save it for another kiddo).

It's too big for her. Please go to this site they have other models available for a 5 ft. tall person. Please keep in mind it's made of alloy and weighs a little. http://www.2ksilver.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=107

Janan,I believe it will be a little short for your daughter as my son is about 5' and it is just about right for him. hope this help.Regards,

No, she won't be too short. I bought it for my 2 year old last Christmas and she could push it just fine. She is 36" now and almost 3. Great quality stroller, would highly recommend.
