can this bike be used for a child that is 12 years old and weighs 130 lbs

Not sure. We used it for our 5 yr old, who was fairly tall (he is 8 yrs old now, and about 4'8"). It IS larger than other balance bikes that are on the market, and it would hold the weight (I practiced on it, and am 135 lbs). The trick is how tall your child is, and can the seat be raised high enough to keep legs up and on the peg. If your child is tall enough, you can see about removing the pedals on a regular bike, and using the same concept (easier than you'd think). We have a son who had very difficult balance problems, and it took him only about a month. Our other son used it for only a week and a half. Good luck! Not sure.

A 20" balance bike, the Super Glider, would be a better fit for this child.

Hi! I personally don't remember what the exact weight limit was, you may want to review it. For some reason 100 lbs sticks out in my mind because my grandson is a big seven year old and I was concerned about his weight at 79 lbs might have been to heavry. But after reading the description, I want to say that 100 lbs was the limit. But checking for yourself would be best. Peace

No, I think that's too old for this bike. My son is a tall 5 year old that weighs 65 lbs, and he fits it just fine right now.

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.

My son is now nearly 9. He's 85 pounds and 4'8 tall. He still loves his go-glider, but I anticipate he will grow out of it this year. I teach 7th graders, so am cognizant of their size; I think it would be too small for a typical 12 year old. Hope that helps!

Yes. I would say this bike was perfect for my daughter. She was 2 years old when I got it. She couldn't quite peddle and I knew that would happen. Thats why I went with this bike because of the handle. She learned how to peddle and dont want any more help but i still have the bar just for when we come to a hill. She is almost 4 now and I would say its still in perfect shape.

Its a really cute bike but it is small. If your grandson is small then it will be fine. My son is 4 & a little on the tall side & he still rides his.

Yes, though the bike is very lightweight, it can easily handle 350 lbs. The way the seat is attached is a little flimsy, so it's possible it could eventually come off, but it's probably a fairly easy repair to make.

This bike fits my tall 7 year old and 9 year old with a bit of room to grow. Would be small for a 13 year old

I think the bike is too small for a 7 year old and not fast enough for them... My neighbor son is 6 and he looked to big for the bike

Yes absolutely! I just purchased this bike for my three year old this past Christmas. She just turned three in January and it is the perfect fit and will easily work until she moves up to a regular two wheel bike. FYI my daughter is also very tall. The overall quality of the bike and the workmanship is well worth the price. It is very sturdy, steers well and has awesome tires! You won't find another bike like this!!

My 3.5 year old used/uses this bike regularly. You will need to keep the training wheels on for that age.

Sure. It is a really nice bike. It comes unassembled though so you will have to put it together.Hope this helps!Sandra

I wouldn't think so. We bought it for a 10 year old and it seems perfect. Her 12 year old sister can ride on it too. But probably not for long.

I guess it would depend on the 12 year old. My son is 11 and is able to use it with no problem, but he is strong and tall for 11. If you are talking the average size 12 year old, I would say probably not a problem, but it does take quite a bit of upper body strength.

Yes. We have owned this bike for about 2 years and it has a very good bike for my now 9 year old son.

I don't think so. The handle bars are fixed. My son is about that height and he is using it without problem except the seat needs some good cushioning.

I'm not sure, my child weighs 70lbs and the bike handles that without problem. I would thing that it could handle a fair amount of weight. The frame and wheel are sturdy. I would expect that an adult could ride it.

Bought it for my daughter who is six and weighs about 75 pounds and almost 4 ft tall it is just about the right size for her and with the training wheels it helps a lot for her to be stable. I think it is a great bike for her to grow into. So I think it would be fine for your daughter, hope this helps. :) it's a great quality bike, and my daughter loves it.

Any child that can fit on it can use it. The frame is quite small. The directions that come with the bike are not relevant to the actual product.

I believe so. This bike is great. I bought for my grandson one and a half years ago. He was only two then and took it home and uses it constantly still. He has excellent body skills and this bike reinforces balance and strength...inside the house and outside.
