Looks like inseam might be the limiting factor. It says it fits 15 - 22" inseam. I'm 5' and have a 25" inseam.

Well, dang...what kind of freaky person are they marketing this to with a max 25" inseam at 5'3"? I have a short one at 30 (from floor to crotch. My jeans inseam is more like 29).

Actually it's worse than that. It's a max inseam of 22" at 5'3".

CHILDREN! The proportions are different for kids, you know. They don't grow evenly. And some are quite freaky.

Most kids I know are more leg than torso, though...man, I would kill to have the legs I had at age 10. My kid is built like I was--legs for miles (and not an extra ounce of body fat). WTF happened to me?! Now I'm proportioned like a small gorilla.

I always wanted a Big Wheel and my parents wouldn't let any of us get one. No new-fangled plastic toys were allowed in our lives, so I would watch enviously as Jeff Hudgins up the street tore down the hill on his Big Wheel, wiping out in our yard every time.

I also wanted a Sit and Spin but that was also too new and plastic. I got my DD one when she was three years old and my parents watched her on it saying "what a great toy!" Grrrr. I wish they made THOSE for adults!
