my step son is 8 going on 9 and not sure how tall he is, but he is tall for his age; i'm 5'4" and he comes almost to my shoulders...would this be good

That should be fine. I'm 5'7" and ride it. My son is about 5' tall and doesn't have any issues.

Hi Jessica, He will be fine be sure to get him a helmet, gloves and knee pads as when they first learning how to ride that is the first thing to hit the ground when they crash. You will want to get the extended warranty as the back wheel assembly goes out. Both of my boys have gone out and they are 7 and 8 and weigh less than 70 lbs each.

I think it would not be a very good fit for him. I am 5'9" and the stride is okay. However, my machine is not very sturdy and it is really noisy. I think this machine would drive him nuts. The foot pedals are also at a slant, so you sort of have to concentrate to keep your feet back or your toes will crunch. The machine is okay, but if I were any taller or heavier I am afraid it would just fall apart.

I would say "yes" to that. I'm 5'8". I do fine with it but it wouldn't work for someone much taller in my opinion. It is adjustable.

my 7 year old has this scooter. it's perfect size for him. i don't think it would be too tall for a short 9 yr old. my 11 year old uses it sometimes too.

I think it might be to small. My son was 9 when he wore it and he was 4'3" and about 60lbs.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

I am 5' 6" and 40 and I have a difficult time with it, but my 4' 7" 11 year old loves it. I think it depends on your aptitude and time you want to spend with it.

My son is about 36in. and it isn't tall enough to let him reach without help, but it makes helping him much easier. He stands on it, and then I put my leg on it and sit him on my knee.

He might be for this item. My 2.5 yr is close to the height and we got this for him last year when he was just under 32". My son still plays with this even though he no longer uses the sides to rest his feet. He enjoys the music and horse sound it makes when he rides. I prefer this size for now since I know he won't "fall" off it like the taller horse.

I would imagine he would not get the stride he needs for his size. We are both 5'8" and 5'6" and it is perfect for us but is not adjustable.

It will be ok for him. My daughter is 5'5", and it isn't too big.Look up some videos on YouTube.

Yes. Too tall. Probably good for 3 and 4 year old. My son is 6 we sold ours years ago

It may be a little short on him if he is tall. My son was 7 and it fit him just a bit big. He is 8 now and fits him perfectly. He is an average size kid

Hi Makayla...we bought this for my son right before he turned 14 and he loved it. I don't know how tall you are but he is about 5 ft tall and my only concern was that he would outgrow it a bit quickly. I think he still rides it and enjoys it! Good luck!

I feel like you will have a problem with height before weight. My son used it until right before a year. Then he was too tall and it wouldn't go any higher.

Might be too high, but if he is a taller boy he will be fine. remember he will be 4 and five 5 in no time. very nice set for the price, you cant expect better for the price.

My son is 8 and its perfect height for him. But also it extends too. (So I can use it also, lol) Its a good little detector, I'd say it'd be good for an 11 year old. If its his/her first one I'd say this one for sure. Hope that helps!
