I have a 2 year old grandson weighing 28 pounds. Is this balance bike too big for him?

It may be. If heseems to have good motor skills it should be ok. My three year old grandson seems to prefer his tricycle at present. He is over thirty some pounds. He will probably use this bike before he turns four.

Not at all. Radio Flyer makes great products! The tires are no air but hard/soft. The set is adjustable and it is easily assembled. My 3-1/2 son loves it and he is at about 34lbs. I think now that he is getting the idea to glide he is enjoying it even more! I think he will have this for another couple of years!

According to box instructions: maximum weight capacity is 50.0 lbs and adult supervision is required. Does not include a minimum weight, but instructions do indicate that there is a choking hazard for children under 3 because it contains small parts pre-assembly.

I bought this for my grandson who just turned 2, (he's big for his age). He is still getting the hang of it and likes it. I'm certain a smaller child would grow into it rather quickly.

This will be a little too big for a 2 year old. My grandson is 3 years old and he can pedal going straight forward but his legs are too short when turning. I think there is a smaller version.

My two year old grandson weighs 25lbs and he will be able to use it for another year yet. He enjoys riding on it. I bought it for his first birthday and I wouldn't recommend it for that age, as it tips forward.

The bike is of average weight for a child's bike. I thank goodness that this bike is so sturdy because my 6 year old grandson is very rough on his outdoor toys. I hope this was helpful to you.

My opinion is it would be big for a 2 year old. My grandson is about 48 lbs and it fits him perfectly.

I think for a good two more years, I don't know what size she is but our grandson is 4 and weighs 70 lbs is is pretty tall he fits really good on this and I am sure he will for a long time the seat adjust and so does the handle bars so as he grows we can adjust those for he comfort.Its really nice because we can go on the street and I don't have to worry about him.

My grandson is 2 years old and of average height. We have the seat adjusted al the way up and he reaches the peddles fine.

It will work if he/she is not a large kid. It is now too small for our 5 yr old grandson who has graduated to a standard two wheeler and he is doing fine. One of his younger sisters likes the balance bike and prefers it to a standard two wheeler because she can go faster on the balance bike!

Hi, this is sturdy, well made, and I got it for my one year old. He is now two. He rides it down the drive way and a bit on the side walk. When he turns three we will get him a balance bike. So to answer your question, I think it is more for a one year old.

Its a really cute bike but it is small. If your grandson is small then it will be fine. My son is 4 & a little on the tall side & he still rides his.

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.

Double check the box weight but my grandson is 22lbs and works just fine for him.

I bought this for my 2-year old. The seat definitely goes down low enough for two-year old height. She loves putting things in the little pouch in front and LOVES the water bottle. Developmentally, she wasn't quite ready for a bike right at 2. She's slowly learned to peddle and propel herself a little, but at 2.5, she's still not strong enough to peddle unless we are on even pavement. We use the back handle a lot. I'm hoping this bike will grow with her for a couple more years. It's a solid choice, but you might also consider a balance bike (without peddles) to ease your child into the world of bicycles.

No, this is a GREAT bike though! The off brand one we got is way heavier and the set up makes it so smaller children won't fit. Our two year old LOVES this!

Not sure about the weight limit, but my 4 1/2 year old grandson at 53 pounds is still riding it with room to spare . These bikes are "adjustable", as you can move the seat and handle bars to accommodate the individual. My grandson is rough and tough and the bike is still in great shape. I still believe it was well worth the investment.

I bought this bike for my 3 1/2 yr old grandson for Christmas 2012. He rode it this past summer but outgrew it quite quickly. This year I am getting him an 18 inch bike, with room to grow ;0)

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.
