Suggested scooter size for youngster. Anybody have a suggestion for an appropriate scooter for a 7 y.o. girl, about 4' 7"?

It's kind of late, but I'll answer this question anyways. Wow your girl is tall! Since she is so tall, the Razor Pro model would be best for durability. It also has a taller handlebar, so she has more room to grow. If she ever grows to over 140 pounds, the lower razor models will probably break apart. If you think she will only be riding for a short time, a lower model will be fine (A1, A2, and A3 models).

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.

It is more about the weight and size of the child rather than the age. My son is 49" and and 50 lbs, he will be able to use that scooter for years to come without out growing it

Depending on her height, I would go for a 12" (John Deere also makes a 12" version of this bike). We are getting one for our 2 yo daughter who is very tiny but, she rides her brother's (3.5 yo) 12" bike better than our tricycles. Remember that the seat adjusts...our son still has another year or more left in his 12". Buying "up size" may be OK for coats but, getting a bike that's too big is just a recipe for frustration, possible injury, and maybe a trip back to the store or post office to return a too big bike.

My daughter is tall and always was. Because there are no pedals I'd say you got more room than with a traditional bike. Unfortunately she has no interest yet in using it. She loves her scooter too much.

My 3.10 year old is 40" tall and she is the perfect height for this scooter, and I anticipate her being able to use it for a few more years. I have no doubt a 38" tall child can use this scooter.

We purchased this scooter as a gift for our grandson. He is 4 years old and quite tall for his age. He loves it!

I bought my grandson an F3 YFiker. He is 9 years old, but he is 5 feet tall. It is a larger scooter than the F1.

My son is 5 and weighs 39 lbs. We actually upgraded to this one from the mini because he was outgrowing it. It should fit her perfectly, because you can actually adjust the handle bar for different heights. Additionally, I think both the mini and the maxi are the most fantastic scooters! Both of my kids love them, and they weather the test of time amazingly! Hope this helps!

Yes, my 4 year old loved it and she is a shorter 4 year old. We are now looking at the 16 inch. With the 16 inch she struggles a little to do a full pedal since her legs cant reach.

She should be fine, my daughter has this car and she is a little bit shorter than your girl, she can just touch the pedals now, an you can adjust them when they get taller. She should get good use out of it

I'm 6' and was about 215lb when I got mine, and it was never an issue. I've been really happy with it. My daughter was 4 last year and used an off the shelf toy scooter, but I'm thinking of getting her her own Razor so we can start a gang and terrorize the neighborhood ;)

It's little to big for him. Buy him the scooter with three wheels. We always see those at the skate park.

This is the only one I'm familiar with. I can tell you that my 8 year old daughter did get on this and ride around when we gave it to her cousin for Christmas, but it's way too small for her. I would search for one a little taller than this one for a 7 year old.

I personally would wait for 5-6 because the scooter is very fast. Not sure if he's a tall 4. This should be taken into consideration also.

I don't know, if it were my kid no, I would not let him/her have one. A scooter would be much more appropriate with a more responsive turning with the handlebars, as well as a more reliable breaking mechanism. Plus unless you have pristine-like flat surfaces it has problems with bumps that severely slow you down especially if you don't have enough leg power to propel yourself over them. I hope this helps you make a safe and educated decision for this child.

my grand daughter was about the same age and size. she had an 18"already, and hopped on it and rode. she knew how to ride,that could make difference but not enough that I would buy the 18" it would be to small from the start . Hope this helped.
