Was going to buy this for my son turning 4. He's big at 43-1/2" tall and 17" inseam. Will the crossbar be too tall for him to touch the ground?

We purchased this bike for our 6 year old grandson who was about 40 inches tall at the time. He is on the short end of the spectrum. He has had no problem with the bike and the training wheels are now off and he is doing great.

Yes, the height should be fine. My grandson is turning 4 and is still using his!

We bought it for my tall son for his 4th birthday and while it fit- it was a bit big. now that hes almost 5 and 46 inches it fits great... i bet it would fit your son great! we love this bike!

My daughter is 27" now, and she is at the very top level. I think if your son should be fine using this one depending on how fast he grows. I would hate for you to waste money because your son shot pass the 32" quickly.

My son is 4 1/2 as well, and he is 42 inches tall. This bike is a perfect fit for him. He wouldn't be able to reach the pedals on a larger bike as well.

I would say it's too short for him; his knees would be in his face. My 5 year old who is tall still uses ours though when camping. So it would work if you have to have this style.

I believe he would be to tall. I'm a long legged 5'4" & my knees hit the handle bars. I believe there is a weight limit as well - check that out. Good Luck!

We have a 6 year old son who is 49" tall and he is riding a 16" bike and it works well for him but is a tad bit on the small size. This bike is too big. We got it for our 8 year old son who is 4' 8" and it's just right for him. A quick Google search on "kids bike size chart" will yield all the information you need. Many of the charts suggest you go by inseam instead of/in addition to height.

Shouldn't be a problem. I'm only 5'7" and I'm way up towards the front of the unit. This unit has a lot of adjustment in the seat. My son is the same height as you and has no problems.

My son is only 43" so he isn't in the booster yet but has plenty of room to grow. The website says 57" and 120lbs is the max. so not sure why that wouldn't work for a booster. I'm sure it is give or take if your child has a long torso and shorter legs vs. a shorter torso and longer legs. So even though my son isn't using this as a booster yet I'm planning on using it for that and don't see a problem with it. Hope that helps. I know every child is different but I've found this seat to be awesome so far.

I'm not totally sure on the inseam thing, but we LOVED this bike! My son got it when he was six because we live in the city and it's just been hard to learn to balance, etc. on busy streets and really bumpy sidewalks. This bike was perfect for that...we are giving him his first new "big boy" bike next week, and he's going to be 8, but I have a feeling it will be hard to let his Go Glider go! If you want your child to learn how to balance, this is a great bike!

I purchased this bike for my son. He is 9 years old and 52 inches tall. Sounds like your son is tall for his age, but this bike might be just a little too big. He might be better suited with a bike that has a 16 inch or 18 inch tire size. That brings the bike body a few inches closer to the ground. My son was riding an 18 inch up until he received this one as a gift.

well, i think it is a bit small for someone still growing from 5ft. it's 30" from the ground to the handle bar. a person 5 ft. tall with about a 29"-30"inseam would be ok i believe.

My guess is no. My son is 52 inches tall and still has two pegs to go on the 16 inch before he will outgrow it.

I would think so. My son is just about 5" with long legs (he won't stand still long enough to get an inseam), and like the previous poster, his seat post is barely raised. He's got a decent amount of room to grow into the frame, so my reasonably informed opinion is that you'll be OK. Happy riding, whatever you choose!

I'm 5'4" tall 124lbs and the 16" frame is perfect for my body size. It might be slightly to big for him, but the good news is that he'll have it for longer as he gets taller. :)

I agree with @AmyBrandvold. What matters is whether his legs comfortably reach the ground when he's seated, not his overall height. The product description has details on it. Take a tape measure and check his inseam. I would think that if he he's riding a bike with training wheels, he'll likely be tall enough for this one -- or will be very soon!
