Hi therei bougth this bike last year when my son was 4 yo, and the truth is i think i better buy a bigger bike instead this one. It was just perfect for my 4 yo but you know how fast the kids grow so he just ride it for a couple months, and now i need to buy a bigger. So, the answer for your q: this bike is too little for a 5 yo. I hope this help you. Have a good day and a great shopping expirience.

Great bike, awesome construction, well packaged. My three year old loves his. Probably to small for a five year old.

I am buying a 16 or even 18 inch bike for my 5 year old. He outgrew the 12 inch bike so quickly! The bigger bikes now have quick release seat adjustments which is a really nice and useful feature. And many of them come with training wheels which is another nice feature as my 5 year old still uses them :)

I bought this bike for my 3 year old grandson and he is as tall as most 4 year old boys. I have the seat at its highest level and he really needs the next size up....16"? His friend is 4 and calls the bike a baby bike because of its size so, unless your child is very petite/small, you need to buthe bigger bike.

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.

I got this for a four year old. She was able to ride it. She's now five. I suppose it depends on the four year olds height, but my four year was average height, and did just fine and still had room to grow. The 12 inch wheel bikes were too short for her to grow with it.

The bike was a 20 inch. Not sure about the length and width. Average boys bike. Hope that helped.

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.

It would be on the larger size and speed for a 5 yr old. But, a great investment as my 11 yr old still rides it. I would say it is a 7 yr old size. It can haul me around at 40 yrs old and 200lbs very snappy pit bike.

The bike did not come assembled, but it was not to hard to assemble it. My son just turned five and we had a 12" bike previously. He was a little nervous the first couple times on it, but now loves the bike. In my opinion a great size, he tried some 20" bike in stores but they we all to big for him. This bike fits him good know (maybe a little on the big side), but will last him another couple years at least before we have to upgrade to a larger bike.

I would go for the 16 inch. The bike has training wheels so is stable, and the kids grow so fast!

The bike is really for a kid 7 - 12 years old. The 20" measurement is the size of the tires.

I bought two for my grand-kids (3 and 4) who are fairly healthy but they've quickly outgrown them. They're great for kids to get over their initial fear of 2-wheel bikes since their legs act as bike stands. They're definitely too small for a normal 5 year old - the seat can only be safely adjusted to 18" off ground. However, they're very sturdy - could easily handle adult weight. Hope this helps.

My 5 year old daughter can reach the handlebars and pedals comfortably, she's approx 110cm tall. You don't have to have them strapped tight to the rest. It depends how tall the child is.

We have one for my almost 3 year old boy about 35-37 " tall and my other almost 5 year old about 44" tall both use with out a problem. I just bought the bike for my nephew who is also almost 5. Hope that helps

The smallest they have. Go to a bike shop and get measured, or at least look up a bike size chart online.

This bike has 10 inch wheels made of hard rubber. Very small bike is about the right size for a two to three year old child.
