at what age will the child be too big to ride this bike? Average kid in size.

I think it will depend on the size of the child and the ability of riding. I bought this for my son for his third birthday - it was perfect! His birthday is late May, and by the end of summer he was ready for a bigger bike, however we live in WA so I'm going to upgrade his bike to a bigger one this upcoming Spring. In closing, he did not know how to ride a bike at the time I bought this for him. We spent about a month walking around town and I would push him. After a month he was able to ride all by himself and continued to do so all summer long. If you child knows how to ride already I would go with a bigger bike, if not this is great for 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 year olds if your child is on the taller side. If your child is average height I would guess they could ride it up until their 5th birthday.

Gosh I don't know! My guess would be 5 years old or so. My son is two and a half and taller than average and he can't quite make the peddles turn yet.

This is a really solid bike, and we've impressed with it's durability. However, my son is 4 and the bike is just a little on the small side for him. If you have a 5 year old, I would suggest finding the same bike in a slightly larger size.

My child was about 39"-40" when she got it for Christmas. She was just able to pedal it, and loved it. Within a couple of months she grew into it more.

I started riding with my son in it when he was 1 year old and up to when he was 4 years old and he surpassed the 40lb weight limit and out grew it. I'd have no problem riding a child under 1 yrs in it either

my son is 4 and average in height. its perfect for him. we can even lift the chair another inch now that he gained confidence.the bike is a little bigger than other brands I saw. Also I know you can buy a chair with longer pole. that might do.so, it depends on your kid's height. 5 is probably the maximum age for it. 6 is definitely too big.you can check also the bigger model.good luck!

my 8year old riding this bike. he is about 4'3 can ride easily. could be just size or small for 12 year old.

Our almost 4 year old can reach the handle bars just fine. For now she reaches the pedals...but not enough to actually pedal. She still enjoys the ride and as fast as she seems to grow, it will be great fit in a few months time!

Vernon, my Grandson is 3 and, after pushing the bike around for a week, suddenly started riding it like a pro! A 4 year old should do just fine. If he is tall, take a look at the 16".

The length of the child's leg is the real real limiting factor. My grandson rode his at two and a half with pedals that I made myself out of scrap 2x4 wood blocks. By three the blocks were off and he is still riding it. In short form, the answer is about three years old if the child is average height.

It depends upon how quickly she learns to ride it and how much she rides it once she masters it....and how fast she grows! Our 6 year-old grandson is considerably taller & the 16" is perfect for him right now. They will always outgrow these small bikes.

I think you would be better off taking pedals off bigger bike. My child is 8, 66 pounds and has almost outgrown this. She is probably on a 20-24 inch bike now.

I would guess that there's not much room to grow for a 5 year old on this bike. My son just turned 4 years old and is about average size for his age and I would say that the bike fits him perfectly. My best guess is that he will have grown out of it when he's about 6.

My son is is 4 years old and 44 ". He has been riding this bike for about a year now. He loves it, and I would say we have another year or so before he outgrows it! So too large? Definitely not. I think it would be perfect for him.

Yes, this bike would be too small. My 6 & 8-y-o both have this bike. The frame is shorter. It is also a beginner bike so when you back peddle it brakes so it makes it tough to do tricks and stuff

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.

It would be a little tall for that age but it will give the child a chance to grow into it. My son at 4 fit the bike, but it was a little large.

The twin who is using this bike turned four in July and it is perfect for him now. He is a slight bit bigger than his contemporaries and I am hoping he gets another year out of it. You could talk with bike store about sizing if you want more exacting sizing.
