Hello, I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old. I baught a 16inch for my 3 yr old. It's perfect size for him, especially with the training wheels. I baught the 18inch for my 5 year old. He rides without the training wheels.

I would say 12" my son is 41" and he still can't touch the ground with his feet, to turn the bike around. We got him the 14" and it's perfect for him, except for that.

My son is 37-38 ins and went with 14" and am glad I did. 12 would not last long. The 14 with the seat and handlebars at lowest are fine and can e adjusted as he grows.

My daughter just turned 4 and is about 39 1/2 in tall. with the twelve she could put both feet on the ground and with no training wheels to start she looked more comfortable. I look at it like trading one for the other she fit the 14 a little better but more balance and control starting and stopping on the 12 which I think is more important. I would go 12 especially if you have younger kids. We have a younger daughter so if she only gets one year out of it no big deal

Having both, I'd go with the 12' if you are over 5'7" or if you are heavy at all. The smaller one is fun but the longer one comes with the straps on the front too. Great boards! We love them!

If he doesnt already ride a pedal bike I would recommend the 12" you will inevitably have to get the 16" as well but use the 12" to boost confidence. I have a 4 and 6 year old and my older boy is just now getting comfortable with the 16" he kept trying to steal back the little bike

I would think the 14" would be sufficient. I purchased the 18" and it has been extremely effective in relaxing my IT band.

I went under. After I recieved the 12" I decided the 16" were a better fit for some of mine. One review did mention that they shouldn't be too much bigger since he had an issue with it falling over I think. I might measure them lilke you suggested and see if that would have made a difference in my choice. I hope this helps.

My guy is about 14lbs., 24 inches and he fits fine in the small (12-18lbs). He too is lean and long. His hands and feet are just starting to stick out. It's not as snug as a swaddle but has room for it when he gets bigger. For now, he's content with the size and has slept better since (about 5-6 hour stretches). I got both to compare side by side and returned one that didn't fit.

Our son is 37" long and still has plenty of room in the bed. You would probably be OK for a few years.

12 inch is perfect for my 3 year old grand sons, a four year old may need bigger. Go to Target or Walmart and just look at the 12 inch and 16 inch bike and that might help you decide before you order from Amazon.

Depends on the child's leg length but I would recommend the 12". That should last several years.

I purchased a 12 in for my 3 year old and 16 in for my 4 year old. Our eldest fit well but it was slighty to big. He fit perfect a month later as you know they grow too fast. If I put the 4 year old on the 12im his knees would have been in the handle bars. I would say go with the 16in

I agree with other responses. Go with a larger tent for the numbers you're speaking of. (6) 12 year olds is very doable, but best to have a little extra room for moving about.

One of my two year olds is 36lbs and 36in tall. It fits him. I would like for there to be more room to grow, but it should fit for a while. I've thought about adding to it myself to make it bigger. It wouldn't be that hard. I think these were worth the money. I hope this helped. :)

Please help me with the size issue? my 8 yr old is 120 lbs at about 52 inches with a big belly. He loves the water, he's autistic and intellectually challenged and incontinent. We spend a lot of time in indoor pool all winter, sometimes the water is cold for him after being in the pool for a couple hours. I looking for something warm and comfortable. Than you, Aiden's dad

Im afraid he probably won't get too much use out of it. My son is just over 36 inches and his knees hit the handle bars now. Not to mention he is a bit too heavy for it now and he weighs 30 # now. Hope this helps.

I'm 5'11" and weigh 160 lbs, and I ride a 24". A 24" for your son seems like a logical step up, but if he wants the challenge, they just go for the 26".

I ordered him the 32". He is 15 and not real tall. There are several sizes.

Since this item costs a considerable amount, I'd go with the 158lb & up. It will take you a while to get used to them and you'll have them for years to come. My son is 6'2" and 147 pounds and wears/plays with his periodically and has no complaints. Plus, his heavier friends can use them without concern of overweight limits and breaking.
