My granddaughter is only 42" tall, although she's nearly 7. Will she be able to reach the pedals and the brakes to ride this bike safely?

I think your granddaughter would benefit from a smaller bike. She probably would not be able to ride safely on this one yet.

My daughter is 6 and a half years and still reaching the pedals can not touch the floor level with the feet. if the seat was less high it can be easier, I thought adjusting the seat with another style to reduce the height

We bought this bike for our daughter who turned 7 in July and she is 47 inches tall. I think the bike is a little too tall for her. Maybe by next summer.

No. My daughter is 5' and she can barely pedal even on the closest setting.

I think it would be fine. My grand daughter feet will probably reach the pedals in a couple of months. In the meantime she pushes with her feet on the ground. If your daughter is 3 I think it's perfect. Hope that helps.

This bike would be good for ages 7 - 9 years old. I purchased this bike for my 7 year old granddaughter who is 4' tall.

My granddaughter is about 4' 8". I would say this bike is good for around 4' 6" to 5' 4"

Nope. My daughter who is about 46" tall has no issues. Just may need to raise or lower the seat and or handlebars depending on your child.

My son is probably 42". The handlebars are no problem. Sometimes his feet slip off the pedals. That's not such a big deal though as the bike is largely Daddy powered and he is happy as a lark on it.

My son is about that height and he can touch them but not push them all the way around, but he gets around on it just fine by "walking" it with his feet. He should be able to use the pedals soon.

Yes. Your daughter will just need to pedal backward a small bit to stop the bike. It does not have hand brakes, but the wheel brakes are easier to manage for a young child.

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.

Definitely. My daughter is 37 inches and she reaches the pedal just fine. We bought this so she wouldn't grow out of it so fast like the other ones. She is even able to tote her 9 year old sister around with no problems as well. The product is worth it.

Yes, our children range from 38 to 47 inches and they can all drive it. It is hard for the smallest to reach the pedals but he is able to do so without too much trouble.

I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle.. I am 5 ft 1 in and unable to ride an adult bike because my legs are very short due to rickets as a child. My balance is also not that good. My husband has my seat adjusted and replaced the original seat with one that was wider for more balance and comfort. Make sure you have the right air in the tires..it makes it much easier to pedal. She would have to be able to pull the brakes that are on the handle bar, but it has no gears and rides very smooth. I wish we lived close by so she could try mine. I think maybe she could master this bike. It has been a joy to me since I also cannot master a two wheeler. Good luck and God Bless..

Our very big three year old is still using this bike. She is 42lbs and 43 inches tall. She has some motor delays due to heart surgery, we wanted to keep her close to the ground. She uses it and motors right along with her bigger siblings. It has been a great bike for us.

I do know my daughter is a little over 3 foot tall and she isn't quite tall enough to pedal yet. She can reach the pedals if she scooches all the way up she can reach them but can't really use them yet. I would say probably 40" is correct.

My almost 4 grandson is about 42" tall too. I think he is on the edge of being to tall for the bike. He loves riding it still. I think we will be going for a pedal bike this summer. You might look into a balance bike with 16" wheels. That may fit better and have some grow room too.

I just got this bike and it works for someone who is 4'11". I can fully pedal while sitting properly in the chair (on its lowest setting) and have no issues holding onto the handlebars. I think those shorter than me would find it difficult to reach the pedals comfortably.
