Is this bike too large for a 43" tall boy?

My son is is 4 years old and 44 ". He has been riding this bike for about a year now. He loves it, and I would say we have another year or so before he outgrows it! So too large? Definitely not. I think it would be perfect for him.

Not sure their heights at certain ages, but my two boys rode this bike from 2 til 5...

Hi Susie, I personally thought this was a great bike for my grandson who was five at the time of purchase. Remember it's a glide and does not have wheels. My grandson loved the bike but preferred the wheels. It is an EXCELLENT 1st bike for little guys. If you have not watched the video please do so. It is great for teaching balance and can not me any easier to put together, 5min. Best of wishes with your decision. Enjoy! Donna KDonna T. Kasinak answered on January 25, 2013

I would get the mini glider for a 43" tall boy. If you look at the reviews, there is one that mentions the go glider is too tall for a 43" boy. I recommend getting both if you have a younger child too.

My son used it when he was 45". we had originally ordered a skuut bike, but had to return because it was too small and fit my 3 yr old instead of my 5 yr old. however, my sons are long in the torso, which is what you need to reach the handles and steer.

I think you should be fine unless your son has very short legs. I have this bike and the mini glider. The mini glider is more appropriate for a 2-3 year old.

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!

Hope I'm not too late in responding to your question. When I was deciding which balance bike I should get for my son it wasn't easy so I came across a great website that has all sorts of helpful information called Two Wheeling Tots. My son is 39" and the seat height for this bike is 13"-17" so you may want to look into the 16 inch balance bike as well to see if it's more compatible for a 45" kid. Hope this helps :)

I am 5'3 and my son is 4'4, both of us ride this bike and we love it. It is sturdy and the seat is comfortable, too. However, the handle bar height is NOT adjustable, but both of us have no problem with it.

Is your son tall, the bike is very small like a pit bike. My son road the bike really hard, it worked well for him, he got it when he was 9 years old

My son is 9, he's about 4'2"-4'4". Bikes perfect for him. Very nice bike! Hope this helps. Easy to assemble!

I think that this bike will have a bit too much power for him because its a fast bike. His size might work but the speed will probably worry me since he's really only 6 years old.

It would be a little tall for that age but it will give the child a chance to grow into it. My son at 4 fit the bike, but it was a little large.

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.

Bought the bike when daughter was 46 tall. It was too big for her. She is now 50' and 7 years and it seems to be a good fit now. Hope that helps.

My son is 12. 5'5". He's already outgrown this bike. But then again, he doesn't do any trick on it either. Maybe for a 17 year old , he stand most of the time and does tricks. But sit and just ride. No way. Knees would hit the bars

I purchased this bike for my son when he was 4. It fit him really well. He rode it until recently when mom ran over it in the drive. I have replaced it with a 16" bike but he was still riding it comfortably when it was damaged. It is a really sturdy built bike. Jacob really enjoyed it.

We bought it for my tall son for his 4th birthday and while it fit- it was a bit big. now that hes almost 5 and 46 inches it fits great... i bet it would fit your son great! we love this bike!

My daughter is almost 47in and the bike still fits her well; she probably started riding it at about 40-42" (having only previously been on a balance bike). I think it should work well for you.

He'll be good to go. Our guy is 44" tall too. He has no trouble reaching the pedals. This bike is sooooo awesome!!!

This bike fits my tall 7 year old and 9 year old with a bit of room to grow. Would be small for a 13 year old

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.
