Which Size PonyCycle® Should I Get?
Choosing the right size of PonyCycle toy is important for your kid to have a safe and pleasant riding. This article aims to help you make the right decision by introducing two important ways of size choosing. We will also let you know how to accommodate using our Pedal Pads.
1.Choose by Age and Weight
PonyCycle® moves forward as a child bounces, so every ride is powered by the child rather than a motor. That’s also why size matters — the right fit lets them ride comfortably and keep going.
2. Which Size to Choose for Age 4
For a 4-year-old, Size 4 is typically the best fit based on age and weight. However, children grow at different rates, so it’s important to also consider height and inseam for a perfect fit.
· Smaller size: More comfortable initially but may be outgrown sooner.
· Larger size: Lasts longer but may require more effort to pedal at first.
Tip: Don’t worry — Pedal Pads help kids ride larger ponies comfortably until they grow into the ideal size.
3. Choose by Inseam and Height
Unlike bikes, PonyCycle® requires kids to pedal with both feet simultaneously, so the best size is one that fits your child comfortably from day one.
· Make sure your child’s inseam is no shorter than the distance from the pony’s saddle to the pedals.
· This ensures they can reach the pedals and ride comfortably.
Tip: Use the size chart below to match your child’s inseam with the right pony size.
How to Measure Inseam
Simply put, your child’s inseam is the distance from the floor to their crotch. If you are not clear about your kid’s inseam length, please refer to the steps below to measure properly.
Which Pony Size Fits when Pedal Pads are Applied
When you are choosing PonyCycle® and decide to use Pedal Pads to address the in-between size issues, you should take inseam length and effective pedal height into consideration.
· Measure your kid’s inseam.
· Add the effective pedal height to the inseam length and get a result.
· Use this result as the final inseam and refer to the KID & PONY SIZE CHART for a right choice.
4. Can Children Under 3 Ride?
The recommended age is a guideline, but younger children can ride with proper adjustments.
· Use Pedal Pads to help them reach the pedals.
· Ensure supervision at all times.
5. Can Adults Ride PonyCycle®?
While PonyCycle® ponies are primarily designed for children, anyone within the weight limit can enjoy a gentle ride:
· Home Version: Up to Size 5 — supports older kids and lighter adults for short rides.
