What is the benefit of larger wheels? I am trying to choose between the A3 and A4 for my 7 year old son.

This was the model my daughter asked us to buy for our 4yr. old and 6 yr. old grandsons. Personally, I think the larger wheels are safer when going over cracks and bumps. They don't come to an abrupt halt throwing the child off balance. My daughter is very careful about her research before telling me which toy to buy!

The larger wheels make for smoother riding on the average neighborhood sidewalk or driveway.

Definitely go bigger; go for a 24" to learn on. If I had to do it all again, I would not buy this brand unicycle. A good adult uni is the Torker LX (as opposed to the CX, which is like $20 less but much cheaper quality. I bought a CX for my girl and regret not spending the little bit more for something decent).

It performs better in my opinion. Easier to maneuver in establishments. The only value to the wheels I can see is if the person is using them to maneuver. If not then the transport mode is a great option. If I was going off roading, i.e. parks or into grass I would probably put the larger wheel on just for stability.

Joseph - my apologies for the delayed response - we had a power outage for the last 50 hours. Anyway, I have a 2006 A4 with factory original 17" wheels and they fit perfectly - I did not have to trim anything off - I wish I could have been more help.

Shorter Wheel base will give you snappy turns longer wheels base is less carvy and more stable like he said stick to your width unless you know what your doing.

I personally like this model because of the 5th caster wheel. It was easier to turn, especially when I took it to the mall. I think this one is just a little smaller with smaller storage because of the wheel. But I enjoy easy steering over storage.

I think that depends on what the rider wants. A smaller wheel gives you better acceleration and control. If you are tall you might want to go with the 26 in for more comfort.. again, it depends what you will be doing with your bike.. mine is a 24 in.. I am short it works for me and gives me all the comfort I want in a bike.. after all you are not mountain climbing with a tricycle..

Go with the 16" wheels. My son is 43" inches now and we just moved him up to 18" wheels. He learned how to ride to ride a two wheeler with the 14" wheels last year, but he was 40" at the time and now has outgrown that bike.

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years

Typically, the smaller size wheels are better for doing tricks. Not sure about the red and orange unicycles.

I bought the three wheel and it is amazing. I think it would navigate better than the three. This one has my vote :)

The bike is short to the ground - we purchased for my son for his 3rd birthday and it does help for it to be low to the ground as the feet have to do all the work. There is a big difference between the 12" to 16" but the 16" will definitely last him longer. My son is in 3T clothing and the 12" bike is a good size for him. If your grandson is bigger - I would probably look at the bigger bike that he will grow into?

Hi Ana, I'm not sure that A3 is suitable. It's relatively heavy, it's metallic and 3 years old kids are so tender. I would try to find a two wheel scooter with less weight

I don't think there is a big difference. I read some reviews and I know that the front wheel on the older model is a double wheel. I honestly don't remember the other differences but the reviews are really helpful so have a look!

It was a tough decision. The 3000 was heavier (smoother ride) and had a longer warrantee so I didn't purchase and extended warrantee. Been very happy with the 3000. Used daily by myself and my wife (neither of us are very big or go very fast).

I think it would be really good - my nephew turned 6 and he is just outgrowing it - I was going to look into getting the next size wheels for it as it does look like you can adjust that

My 7 year old loves the YFliker F3. It is a little big for him but there is room to grow.
