will this work for an averaged sized 5 year old girl, or are the handles too high? Thanks for thoughts!!

I believe she will be just fine being there is quite a bit of adjustability, the handlebars gooseneck adjust up and down and the handlebars adjust forward and back.

It should work fine. My 7 year old boy who is a bit short for his age rides it through our trails just fine. The front brakes, at least on mine, were junk so I just took them off since they are not really needed anyhow. However, I did expect more for my money, but it's made in China so don't expect it to last. Hope this helps ya.

If she has previously had a scooter and he knows how to use hand brakes. If NOT I would probably get a smaller one. Just my opinion

Yes, my grandson just turned 5 in February and we got this for him at Christmas. In fact after a while of using it he now rides his bike without training wheels. It has been a great buy very durable.

Hi James! Well it all depends on how tall your son is. My son is 1 going on 2 years old in August, and he is between 31 to 33 inches tall. The handle comes up to the very top of his belly, right under his chest. I can tell that even when he gets taller he will still be able to use it for a while, but it does seem like it's built for a shorter toddler. If your grandson is a tall or normal -height-for-his-age toddler, this may be a little short for him. I hope this has helped you. :-)

It may work for you. I am 6'2" and the handles are all the way to the top. I put the handles all the way to the bottom notch and it should work for you. Maybe you can try one out someplace before you buy it. Do you know anyone that has one of these? I would try to test one out before you buy one just to be sure it's comfortable for you. (:

Adjusting height is easy. One has to rotate a handle in a circular motion. Probably 7 & 8 year olds could do this but it depends a bit on size.

I believe that the handle height is not adjustable. I do not remember any options for adjustments when we assembled it. We bought as a gift for grandchildren out of the area, so I can't physically check. They are 4 & 1.5 and have no problem with the height. The older one doesn't use the handle anymore. But it doesn't seem to be in the way either.

I don't think so. The handle would be pretty short for you. I'm 5.9" and it's a good height for me. I don't think you'd like it.

I am 5' 6" and I am quite comfortable on this bike - it's adjustable if she needs to be closer to the pedals. Because it's a recumbent style, she won't be straining her arms trying to reach handlebars. I think it all depends on how short her legs are - I'm an average size so I don't have any problems. Good luck!

I think they will be best for that actually, that and light weight items. My son has are too big and heavy so it tips over and I have to prop it up. The handles tore easily for ones with out toys but it still functions well.

I m only 5 ft tall and the handle is to high for me.I have to hold my hands up when pushing it From the ground(wheels) to the handle is 43 inches high. I love this stroller and 2 of my 3 dogs also do. Good Luck

Handle is height adjustable. Should be OK for individuals up to 6'. I'm 6'2". Took granddaughter to Disneyland. Handle adjusted to max height was very slightly too low for me, but not uncomfortable.

The Handle of this one is adjustable.... Having gone through Many strollers I'd say this one is the best I've ever had. My 7 year is not exactly tall but she pushes it and doesn't look awkward at all and it's not at the highest setting. I don't think you'll find a doll stroller much higher unfortunately

I'm 5' 6" and the handle is a comfortable height for me. I think it would work for you too.

I'm 5'-9". ...... When I ride it, I stand up unless in a straight away. It is to small for that height. My knees hit the handle bars and my feet are to big to operate it fully. I bought it for my 5 year old, she is now 7 and still fly's around on it. It is perfect for her size. But, 5'-9" is to big.

I am 5'8" and have no problem bending over into the handle--and the stroller is really easy to handle. I have had no trouble kicking the stroller but I think that is controlled by how far you push the stroller in front of you--controlled by your arms. I don't think you would have to adjust your stride. Also my dog is an 80 lb tripod so the stroller I have is the large one.I don't know if that makes a difference or not--but the stroller is great

They are adjustable by several inches. I'm 5'2" and adjusted the handles to suit me.

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you , the carriage handle is adjustable to go up higher for taller ones . The handle stands two feet from the ground at the highest setting . It isn't as big of a stroller as I really wanted but it handles nice . I have an 8 year old that works with it alright but won't use it for long and she is kind of short for her age . Unless you have younger girls that will play with it I wouldn't invest in this one . It's kind of a big price for what I wanted it for . Hope this helps if you haven't already ordered it .

I think if he's a young 2 year old then it is probably too big but if he's 2.5 almost 3 then it should be fine. It takes some coordination and I'm not sure a young 2 year old would know how to work/control the handles.
