Thinking of getting this for our son's 6th birthday. He is 45in tall. Is this bike too big for him? We really like it because of the freewheel.

This bike will be perfect for him! It is of good quality and they boys love it.

We bought this for our son's 6th birthday last year. He was only a little taller than that and was able to handle it (with a little practice).

It's a great bike. I purchased this bike for my son's 7th birthday and it fit him like a glove. He was a couple of inches taller than your son at the time, but your son should have no problems with it. It's actually a very well constructed bike (which is why you're considering this one from the start). After 2 1/2 years and a few seat and handlebar adjustments, he still rides it.

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel. Have you looked into coaster bikes?

Hi Susie, I personally thought this was a great bike for my grandson who was five at the time of purchase. Remember it's a glide and does not have wheels. My grandson loved the bike but preferred the wheels. It is an EXCELLENT 1st bike for little guys. If you have not watched the video please do so. It is great for teaching balance and can not me any easier to put together, 5min. Best of wishes with your decision. Enjoy! Donna K

Hey Christine. How tall? I'd say if he's over 5'0 then you'd want something bigger to allow some growing room. Otherwise this will be a good bike.

I purchased this bike for my son when he was 4. It fit him really well. He rode it until recently when mom ran over it in the drive. I have replaced it with a 16" bike but he was still riding it comfortably when it was damaged. It is a really sturdy built bike. Jacob really enjoyed it.

We got this bike for our son who is 4ft 6in as well. He has no issues with it and loves the bike. When we first got it he was actually a little smaller. The bike was slightly big for him at that time but he was still able to quickly adjust to getting on and off and has had no issues riding it.

I have a 5yr old son who is 44" tall and 55lbs, will this bike be too big, I feel most of the 16" bikes are too small.

I think it would be too big. My son is 5'6" and when he started riding it about 2 years ago we had to have the seat all the way down. It is a great unicycle though, very durable. I weigh about 200 and the wheel won't support me but for my son at 120 it is fine.

My grandson is a tall 7 year old, 52" tall and if anything it is just a LITTLE big for him but he has no problem riding it. Hope this helps.

My six year old is 72lbs and can still ride it but I bought it for my 30lb 3 year old. At 6 he will outgrow it quickly. Look for a 50 -80 cc gas model instead! Cheers

My grandson is now 5 and quite tall for his age. He still rides this bike and loves it. It was an excellent choice for us. Hope this helps.

My 2 year old just started being able to get on it himself and actually use it. My 5 1/2 year old is very tall and she just recently said she was getting too big for it. I would say he will be able to use is for a couple years and really like riding it around.

I bought this bike for my 3 1/2 yr old grandson for Christmas 2012. He rode it this past summer but outgrew it quite quickly. This year I am getting him an 18 inch bike, with room to grow ;0)

I bought this for my grandson for his 4th birthday in June and he gets on and off just fine. I don't have the bike at my home but the cross bar is not much higher than the top of the tires as you will see in the picture. I think its a perfect fit for a 4 to 6 or 7 year old unless he's going to be a basketball player! My grandson has a lot of fun on his bike. I think yours will too. This is a very nice bike and very easy to put together. I'll post a pic on the site if I can of Paul with his birthday bike.

I bought it for my tall 7 year old daughter. She loves it and it's a good size bike for her. One she'll be able to use for several years.

We bought the 24 " for our 11 year old mentally challenged son and it is perfect for him. He will have a lot of growing room on this bike. I am short--5 ft.2" and I ride it, also. We have the seat as far down as it can go , which means we still have lots of growing room. Best purchase we have made for our son.

Hope I'm not too late in responding to your question. When I was deciding which balance bike I should get for my son it wasn't easy so I came across a great website that has all sorts of helpful information called Two Wheeling Tots. My son is 39" and the seat height for this bike is 13"-17" so you may want to look into the 16 inch balance bike as well to see if it's more compatible for a 45" kid. Hope this helps :)
