Is there sufficient height between the weight carriage and our legs?

Yes, but this is much better used as a tricep pressdown machine opposed to a lat pulldown. There is nothing to hold your legs and bodyweight down, so you will be pulled up if you use enough weight when doing lat pulldowns. It's excellent for tricep pressdowns.

I think the elevating means you can elevate your legs (straight). The distance from the floor to the bottom of the seat is 17"

I am about 5 feet and it works for me. You have to move the seat as close to the pedals as possible which makes getting to the tension knob a little inconvenient but its still fine.

No 8-year old test subjects in my house. But I would say yes, since the legs can be spread to different settings and locked in. Might need a footstool if foot pedals aren't an issue yet.

I am 5'10" and, from my setting I was able to move the seat back at least another 6 inches. I think you'll be okay. It's a great machine!

no because you can't maneuver around the legs...just wide enough for rubber mate totes to go in between

I believe so. Ours is being shared by people from 5'2" to 5'9" with no problem. There is still 3 more adjustments left when the shortest of us use it. It is quick/easy to adjust for various heights.

I believe that will work. My configuration is a little different. I bought the legs with a set of wheels attached. The distance between the legs is just under 15 inches. MT

the legs wont be an issue, just measured, 18". The arms are 22" at the front of the chair, maybe you can get the bottom lip of the seat under

I just purchased this bike and I'm just under 5' 5" and have the seat set at MAX in order to get full range of motion, without hyperextending my knees. I can't imagine anyone taller getting full ROM.

I am 6'1 and rides fine. 6'3 I can imagine you rise the seat a little higher and you should be okay.

The height is not adjustable. The seat is about 25 inches, maybe 26 off the deck. My 6' 3.5" husband sits in it. He is mostly tall in his legs. When we stop somewhere, he wants me to remove or swing away the footrests so that he can stretch his legs. When we're moving, he uses the footrests, and they are not unduly uncomfortable. Please note that this is a transport chair only. The person sitting in it can not reach the wheels or the brakes. Someone nees to be pushing.

I would say "no." You can raise the seat pretty high so I think it would be OK. I'm almost 5' 7".

It's perfectly okay from a safety standpoint because the legs keep it stable and it's not likely to tip over accidentally. The height works well for a small adult - I didn't study how to adjust it when I set it up. I suppose little legs might dangle! Maybe call customer service?

I am the same height as you are, and my feet touch the ground with no problem. This is a great chair for the money!

You and your wife should be fine using this machine. I am not that tall myself and have no issues at all.

It may depend on the height the legs are set at but the variation shouldn't be too much. Mine has 14 inches between the front left and right legs, while it is 11.5 inches between the back left and right legs.
