How big is this bike? Eight pounds? Great, but that isn't helpful to determine if it's the right size for your kid.. How tall is it?

It is not suitable for a kid taller than 115cm (4 years). This is the highest position of the seat.

The easiest way to measure fit for a balance bike (without actually sitting on one) is to measure your child's inseam with shoes on. Take that measurement and make sure the seat height for the bike is appropriate. The Mini Glider seat adjusts from 12" to 16.5". Ideally, a child would have an inseam of at least 13" to ride this bike so they have a little bend in their knee. A child with an inseam of up to 17-18" should fit.

I am no longer physically by the bike. However my two year old grandchildren were able to handle it.

The bottom of the handlebars were about 24.5-25" tall depending on what part of the handlebars and the top of the seat on ours was set at 18" but is adjustable. My daughter easily used it right when she turned four.

My nephew is 48 inches and 46 lbs and the bike is the perfect size for him. the bike is not too high from the ground, maybe a foot and a half. I think it might be a little small at 52 inches because the knees might be too close to the handle bars, my nephews are right in line with the seat. Otherwise the bike is easy to handle for a young boy.

You should be just fine with it. The seat does move up and down and forward a bit if needed. My son got it just before he was 8 and he is short for his age. Plus, with the middle bar being a bit slanted it is easier to get on and off. We love this bike!

The bike is a small which is approx 15"-16". Our daughter is about 5'3" and this bike is the perfect size for her.

my daughter is a tall4 year old and she is prob 6 months away from needing a 18 inch bike. sounds to me like you would be better off with a 18 inch

Hi. I love this bike. My daughter is under 5 feet and has used the bike without issue. I am 5'7" and I just raise the seat and it is perfect for me.

You've certainly already made your decision on the bike, but for future shoppers: I weighed the actual bike and it was between 27 and 28 lbs. The average kid who has outgrown a 16" bike shouldn't have a problem, as the combination of gearing and larger diameter tires will ease the transition. Lighter multi-speed bikes cost much more, and they're for youngsters with skills, money, and/or actual mountains to ride on.

Not sure exact height... I got one for my boy and he's 8 yrs old and rides it with no problem

I bought this bike for my Daughters 7th B-day. She was about 48" it was just the right size. She has grown quite a bit in the year we have had it, and it still fits her fine. It has been a great bike.

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

My 8 year old daughter is 4'2" and the bike fits her well. The seat is down pretty far so there's room to grow. It's a nice bike and easy to put together, seemed comparable in quality to similar single speed bikes at local bike stores that we looked at but almost $100 cheaper.

My daughter turned 6 years old about 44, 45 inches but it's too big for her. Hoping by next spring she'll be able to ride it. Considered drilling another hole in to lower the seat so she can reach the pedals. I think ideally it's better for a 7 or 8 year old.

Hi therei bougth this bike last year when my son was 4 yo, and the truth is i think i better buy a bigger bike instead this one. It was just perfect for my 4 yo but you know how fast the kids grow so he just ride it for a couple months, and now i need to buy a bigger. So, the answer for your q: this bike is too little for a 5 yo. I hope this help you. Have a good day and a great shopping expirience.

Hey Christine. How tall? I'd say if he's over 5'0 then you'd want something bigger to allow some growing room. Otherwise this will be a good bike.

No. It is for a small child. Your 8 year old will need a bigger bike than this. Check out the dimensions. Schwinn will make one her size, I am sure.

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.
