I bought it for my 7 year old, who isn't very tall, and it has worked fine. I think you will be happy with it.

I bought it for Christmas for my 10 yr old and it fits him perfect. He is a little on the tall side too. Its a really nice bike and works great still too.

I bought this one for my eight year old and he loves it, I would believe that it would be a good fit for your nine year old

Hi, I bought the bike for my 6 year old granddaughter and we successfully adjusted the bike t suit her size so it should work for a 9 year old.

This bike fits my tall 7 year old and 9 year old with a bit of room to grow. Would be small for a 13 year old

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.

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 KDonna T. Kasinak answered on January 25, 2013

It's a 12-inch, so it may be too short. My toddler used a 12-inch for the longest time and rides a 16 now at age 5. If your little guy is a bit short for his age, then this may work for a while, BUT in the meantime, I'd suggest a 14". A too-small bike can make it just as difficult to learn to ride as a too-large one. Try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Dynacraft-Boys-Baseball-14-Inch-Wheels/dp/B005JHRU2A/ref=sr_1_2?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1381974794&sr=1-2 It's a 14", so it won't be *too* tall or too short. Or this one, if baseball isn't his thing: http://www.amazon.com/Jeep-Boys-Bike-14-Inch-Wheels/dp/B0046XOQUC/ref=sr_1_11?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1381974794&sr=1-11

I bought this bike for my then 7 y/o daughter. She had moved up from a bike that required training wheels. I would recommend a smaller bike that comes with training wheels before purchasing this one.

We brought it for our 7 year old and it's been pretty good. It may be a tad small for a 9 year old. Unless he's a beginner skater. It would be fun as part of an obstacle course with other things possibly...? Hope that helps.

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?

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)

Its a really nice bike, but I think it will be too small for you. It fits me comfortably and I am 5'9"

No, the concept of the bike would be grate yet the size is a bit too small. I bought it for my 2yr old and weve already hd to upgrade. These are also sold st Sams Club and some wal-marts so if you can go see it, you should

I purchased one for my 2 year old grandson and he loves it. Only my opinion, but I would say that your son may be a bit tall for this balance bike. YBIKE does make the Extreme for older kids that may be a better option.

I would get a smaller bike I bought this for my 10year old who is average size 88lbs about 4 feet 7inches and it fit him perfectly

Get one and see how they like it first. It's an amazing bike. You could always buy another, they learn so quick on it! The older child might be ready for the real bike after a summer.

At about age six it's probably time to move to a bigger bike. My 7 year old still rides his, but he's tiny for his age and it's really too small.

Yes, it is great for the size/age. Might be tough on his legs getting used to it, but that is normal. The construction on this bike isn't as good as others -- but for the price this is perfect for the age!

My son is almost 9, and about 57" tall also. With the back seat lowered all the way (or perhaps raised just a little) the bike is fine for him. The good thing about this bike versus other bargain tandem bikes is that with the independent pedaling your daughter can stop pedaling if she gets tired, while you can continue to pedal (or coast also) -- most other bikes less than $1,000 do not have that feature (so both have to pedal or coast at the same time on those bikes). My son absolutely loves riding on the tandem, hope your daughter does too!
