I would think it would be a little tall for a 4 year old. If he's fairly athletic I'm sure it would be fine

My son was 6 when we got this for him and he's 8 now and still riding it. He's the same height as your 5 year old so I'd say the bike would not be too small for him. My son was already able to ride safely with no training wheels though. That would be my only concern. 18" wheels (or bigger wheels) take more strength to get going than smaller wheels but then again if your child is tall it will probably make no difference. Hope this helps.

The bike is short to the ground - we purchased for my son for his 3rd birthday and it does help for it to be low to the ground as the feet have to do all the work. There is a big difference between the 12" to 16" but the 16" will definitely last him longer. My son is in 3T clothing and the 12" bike is a good size for him. If your grandson is bigger - I would probably look at the bigger bike that he will grow into?

My son is 2.5 and can reach the peddles bit can't turn and peddle. Most of the time he just pushes himself around with his feet. This trike is low to the ground and harder to tip over than regular trikes. It's a very good looking bike we get compliments all the time. I got him the blue. Hope this helps.

It is an easy bike to peddle, but this bike is for kids who are five and up. If you are looking for a first time bike for a kid younger than that I would go down a size. It is easier to balance a bike when it is closer to the ground.

The size bike you get is best based on their height. My son is 42 inches. Just bought this bike and he is still struggling with it but it was a big jump up from his 12 in bike. He can pedal ok...just not as fast as he used to , its more bike to control.

Strider bikes have a 12" wheel size. Move to a 16" or even 18". My almost 7y (51") is getting this for his 7th birthday as the 16" is just not getting small. He was 44-45" when he turned 4y. If it's too big, they won't be able to ride it.

My little one is 4 1/2, 42 pounds, 42 inches. No issues, and he rides it on all surfaces, inside and out. It is just a sturdy balance bike! He will get too tall before he gets too heavy.

I think it's too big. My eight year old rides it. I would go with a 16" wheel.

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.

The 18" should bd fine.or 16". With a bigger wheel you pedal slower, which requires more balancing skill. i have read the hours to get competent are about 50 or more, compared to 1 hour for a bicycle. Takes a lot of patience.

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.

This one has adjustable pedals and seat according to my husband. It is pretty sturdy as well so unless he is a really large 5 year old this should fit him. Our grandson is average for his 3 years and he definitely should grow into this. I expect he will still be using it in 2 years and right now he is defintely challenged by it in a good way. I believe a 5 year old would love it unless he is ready for a 2 wheel bike already.

The Chicco Red Bullet is a great little bike but it is short. I can't tell you max height but if your two year old is tall, I would go with one of the taller bikes. My other grandson has a balance bike which has taller wheels and it works greart for him.

Yes, it is great for the size/age. Might be tough on his legs getting used to it, but that is normal. The construction on this bike isn't as good as others -- but for the price this is perfect for the age!

My son is a big six year old and the wheels hold him well for the most part. It does not keep him from falling 100%, especially if the path is bumpy. We have them installed on a 20" rim bike that is also quite heavy. The construction of the wheels is very strong, it's really just a matter of balance that causes my son to tumble from time to time.

I have a 36" tall 2 year old, she can ride the balance bike like a pro. My 4 year old can still ride it even though its to small for him so I figure she will have a good year or two she can ride it.
