how tall does the child need to be so they reach the peddles?

Our son was eight years old when we bought the Green Machine, and was already about mid-range at that point. He probably would have been tall enough at six or so.

Not very high at all. I would say no more than 6-8 inches at the most. You can actually just step between the pedals and seat if careful.

Candy I believe the height of the kid determines which bike you choose. Most manufacturers rate bikes for older kids as a precaution. If both feet can reach the ground that's the one.

The length of the child's leg is the real real limiting factor. My grandson rode his at two and a half with pedals that I made myself out of scrap 2x4 wood blocks. By three the blocks were off and he is still riding it. In short form, the answer is about three years old if the child is average height.

Probably cannot reach the pedals unless he is exceptionally tall. My 3 yr old just started to be able to ride and she is about 37.5 in tall

I would say 3 to 6. My little is 4 and tall. Bike serf is already in jUp position.

If the toddler's feet can reach the ground then YES they can. If they are not tall enough then they can't reach the ground or the pedals. My son is 33" tall and his feet partially touch the ground. Hope this helps!

the peddler-i think you would be a little to tall for this bike. your at max recommended weight. pushing the maximum weight. it's built more for a big kid 5 foot 5 inches or smaller. i would look into purchasing a taller bike for your height.

My two year Grandson can reach the peddles just fine. As the child grows you can adjust the seat farther back from the peddles to make room for their growing legs. This bike does not tip easily. Very sturdy bike. I have four grandchildren ages, 1,2,3,and 4. All four of them love the bike.

Definitely. My daughter is 37 inches and she reaches the pedal just fine. We bought this so she wouldn't grow out of it so fast like the other ones. She is even able to tote her 9 year old sister around with no problems as well. The product is worth it.

My son was approximately 36" when I purchased it for him. He had no problem getting on and off. If he's shorter than that you may want to wait until he is a little taller. It's a good starter bike, especially for the price.

There is a weight limit that you would need to check. Other than that, height would not matter. I'm 5'8" & ride my sons

my grandson was not big enough for his feet to drag. He has never gotten hurt with the peddles and this is the second spring/summer he has used it.

The manual states the child must not exceed 49".http://download.gracobaby.com/ProductInstructionManuals/PD265353B.pdf

The seat on the Go Glider goes from 17" to 25" so your child would not be able to touch the ground, flat footed, which is the preferred way to learn to ride. I would recommend waiting a bit before purchasing the bike or choosing a 12" bike with a taller seat or choosing a 16" bike with a lower seat. There are a few 14" balance bikes on the market as well.

I'm guessing some where around 46 inches is the minimum. If you google bike sizes Im sure you can find a chart. Diamond Back's site also might have something. My son is about 47 inches and with the seat at its lowest, he can just touch the ground.
