I have a tall (~36") and very precocious 21-month old, thinking of getting this for his 2nd birthday. Will it be too big for him?

The child's instep is supposed to be half an inch longer than the seat height. This seat adjusts down to 13". Everything else on the bike should be fine. If you are concerned, there are smaller models. See here for sortable chart. http://www.twowheelingtots.com/balance-bike-comparison-chart/

I bought one for my 3 year old niece after seeing a boy riding around the sidewalks at my condo complex. My brother in law put training wheels on it which defeats the purpose of a balance bike. I don't think she rides it too often but they live on a step driveway. When I was purchasing I heard about the same maker creating one with wheels you can eventually put on. I liked that a lot buy couldn't find online in stock. I do think a boy would like this and after initially being against the idea of a bike without peddles, I do think it teaches them how to catch themselves when they are about to fall. Also, the seat can easily be raised and my 5 year old niece sat on it and seemed to be fine.

Yes. It is small and should be fine. Wish I could sell you mine as we got limited use since we bought it for a smaller 5 year old and it is too small. Worked well regardless. Rlpelly@gmail

My grandson is almost 21 months old. I purchased it for him and he is not quite big enough. But he loves it and walks it around my backyard every time he comes over. He is only average in height, so your child will probably be fine with it right now. It is a wonderful bike. We love the quality. Hope that helps.

We have this for our little one who is 14 mths but our 6 yr old is a little big for it. I would 4 or 5 yrs old.

I'm still using it with my 2 year old who is 30 lb and 36 inches and we still have room left to grow in it. One note though is that my husband is very tall (6'5") and wide so with the fabric stretching to fit on him and the the toddler in it there isn't any extra room when he wears her. But for me at 5'4" we've got plenty of room.

My granddaughter is over 3 years old, 47 lbs. and 46 inches tall. This seat is a really nice fit for her. I don't know how big your 21 month old is, but chances are, he is still too small for a booster seat. However, I did purchase the Maxi Cosi Pria 70 for her and we put her in it around 14 months old and it has been great! I am still using it for her in my vehicle and her mom has the booster seat in her vehicle. Hope this helps.

Hi James! Well it all depends on how tall your son is. My son is 1 going on 2 years old in August, and he is between 31 to 33 inches tall. The handle comes up to the very top of his belly, right under his chest. I can tell that even when he gets taller he will still be able to use it for a while, but it does seem like it's built for a shorter toddler. If your grandson is a tall or normal -height-for-his-age toddler, this may be a little short for him. I hope this has helped you. :-)

I believe it may be a bit large for your 20-month old son, but I'm also quite positive that he would grow into it as well.

I got it for my three year old grandson, I'm sure it would thrill a six year old. According to the age definitions, it should be okay size wise. I was hoping my grandson would be able to use it for several years. Hope it works for you.

Im afraid he probably won't get too much use out of it. My son is just over 36 inches and his knees hit the handle bars now. Not to mention he is a bit too heavy for it now and he weighs 30 # now. Hope this helps.

I think he will be too big for this. My 2 year old grandbaby rides it fine, but her legs are long and she will outgrow it before too long. I think there are cozy coups that would work better for a 5 year old (there was a fire engine one at one point)..

No he's not too big. This toy has been the best purchase ever. We have a 5 year old who is as tall as an 8 year old. It's the first thing they play with everyday when they go outside. Enjoy!

I'm 5'8" and I got a small 2", it's a little bigger than regular small. You might consider. Even though I don't like big clothes, he might fit in a regular medium, all depend on how he likes to wear his clothes.

I'm pretty sure he would fit. My son is only 17 months and he still can't really propel with his feet, he still a bit too small. He just enjoys pushing it around and using the little radio for the sound effects. I think it would be big enough. It's very cute! Hope that helps!

My two and half year old is 35 inches and 32 lbs and still has some room to grow in it. I think your not so little guy would be fine.

I bought this for my son on his forth birthday (Approx 42lbs and 42in). It is perfect for him. He still has room to grow with it and he absolutely loves riding it. His two year old brother is too small for it so he hooks up his wagon to it and pulls him around that way. The best way to tell if they can handle it is if they are already pedaling on their own. If they are then its probably perfect.

I loved ours but at 20 lbs he is likely to only fit in it a very short time. I watch a 20lb 8 month old and it is a little small now. My 21 lb daughter out grew it at 18 lbs and 28 inches. Since they dont make a 9 or 12 month version i invested in a winter bundting, it was a great transition suit. It keeps her warm and still muffles some movement.

It's more suitable for a 2-3 year old. I bought it for my 2 year old who is now 4 and is too big for it now.
