Would this be rideable for a 38" 3 year old?

I would think so. I got it for my 4 year old grandaughter of average height and she does fine on it.

i would say no, you would probably want a 12inch bike. but that is based off my experience

Definitly. I bought this for my daughter's 3rd birthday and she still rides it all the time. Held up much better then any of the bike I have bought thru walmart for our son.

Even if you slide the seat all the way forward, in my opinion it will be too big for a 3 year old. My son just turned 5, and it is perfect for him. He started riding it around 4 1/2, and it was a little difficult for him at that time. I believe there is a smaller model, that may be more suitable. My 7 and 8 year old also fit on this when they slide the seat all the way back.

Would depend on child size. One of my sons friends rode his, little over four foot tall and 75lbs, and he was not too big for it. Hope this helps.

Absolutely!!! My 6 year old is the envy of the neighborhood... 10 and 12 year olds want to ride it. Shoot I have been on it a few times and I'm 31 :-)Hope this helps!

Its pretty much a full size bike. It will be on the large side but it the seat down it should be doable. If you are growing then its better to get a larger bike for the long run. My daughter is 5'3" right now and she rides it fine. I would say if there is a question go to a local bike shop and get on a cruiser with the same size wheels. Should be a good indicator.

Depends on the size of the three year old...I would say yes to the majority of three year olds, but reaching the peddles is the trick....If you child is 37ish inches or taller they should be fine. :)

Only if he has long legs. My son is 38" and can just barely reach but is not comfy enough to ride well

YES. This is age appropriate for a 3 year old if they are on the taller side (for the 16 inch), my daughter received this at 3 1/2 and used it last summer and can still ride it this summer. She loves the baby seat and the training wheels are sturdy.

I would say yes. My 5 1/2 yr old is almost that height and she loves when she can get a ride. She has told me it is very comfortable

I think it would be OK. My daughter is about 5' and can ride it no problem.

My daughter is almost 47in and the bike still fits her well; she probably started riding it at about 40-42" (having only previously been on a balance bike). I think it should work well for you.

I purchased the bike for my daughter who is 53" tall. She rides with the seat on the lowest possible position, and she is able to comfortably reach the pedals at this height. I'm afraid that a 48" tall child won't be able to reach the pedals quite yet.

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years

I think it would be great. Our 5 yo is shorter than average, and it's a bit big for her. She manages to ride it, but I think it will serve her to age 7 at least

We bought this for our 3 year old grandson and he loves it. It might work for younger, say 2+ but I would keep it as 1st gear. Our grandson is has graduated to second gear. I believe it will depend on size and weight after that. I think it says it could be ridden up to 70 lbs. Maybe 5-6 years old.

my grand daughter was about the same age and size. she had an 18"already, and hopped on it and rode. she knew how to ride,that could make difference but not enough that I would buy the 18" it would be to small from the start . Hope this helped.

Probably cannot reach the pedals unless he is exceptionally tall. My 3 yr old just started to be able to ride and she is about 37.5 in tall
