I need some advise please.

Im trying to buy a bike for my son who is 41/2 and have spotted this lil buet but am unsure as to if it will be small enough.( as far as im aware he is average height mabey a lil taller than average)

Ive tried phoning them but the phone no given is way out.

Hope the link works.

Thanks in advance

It looks like the bike has 20" wheels. If your son is 4 1/2, it may be a bit big for him. I could be wrong though.

this is my daughter jnrfox ,its very similar style to that haro ,she is 7 and tall for her age ,and its spot on for her

but will be too big for your son i think ? i think the only difference is the handlebars ,the haro's are lower ,
