If you scroll down, there are models with child heights. We are still on the 16 inch and the seats are super easy to adjust with the flick of a lever. I expect it to be in use for 2 years and then time to Craigslist it.<br /> <a href="http://schwinnsmartstart.com/" rel="nofollow">http://schwinnsmartstart.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/16-bike-is-too-short-whats-next#post-2837410 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 16:46:52 +0000 Andrea 2837410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hitchhiker: Good to know!

Like Looch, I get them used, usually from facebook marketplace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/16-bike-is-too-short-whats-next#post-2837262 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 07:43:00 +0000 looch 2837262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just look for used bikes, at this age and stage of life, there is no reason to buy new bikes for kids. The Goodwill near my home has bikes for $10 and to be honest, what I like to do is have at least 2, even though I only have one kid, as inevitably someone comes over for a play date and it would be great to have a second one (with a spare helmet too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/16-bike-is-too-short-whats-next#post-2837254 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 04:17:36 +0000 Andrea 2837254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Check out the blog post on the Woom bike! It sounds pretty cool. Wish I had known...we’ve been getting new bikes every few yrs, but at least DD2 has gotten use out of them, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/16-bike-is-too-short-whats-next#post-2837068 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 08:51:13 +0000 hitchhiker 2837068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 20" comes next. I don't think there's any way to avoid having to get a new bike every few years. It's basically impossible to ride a bike that's way too big, and sadly there's no way to stop them from growing!</p> <p>My 5 year old is outgrowing her 14" bike, and I'm trying to decide if we can go straight to a 20" for a Christmas or birthday gift. She outgrew the 14" so quickly - from not feeling comfortable on the lowest seat setting to really being too big for the highest setting in only a little over a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/16-bike-is-too-short-whats-next#post-2836933 Mon, 30 Jul 2018 14:23:10 +0000 mediagirl 2836933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter has outgrown her 16" bike. What size do you go to next that she hopefully won't outgrow in 2 years? </p>
