I don't think anyone can answer this over the internet. You should work with a local bike shop -- and most importantly -- your child, to determine what the appropriate height is.– RoboKarenFeb 18, 2016 at 15:57

If they are flat bars then about seat height is what you see on mtn bikes– paparazzoFeb 18, 2016 at 17:41

The only person who knows the right height is the kid on the bike. Ask him/her.– Criggie ♦Feb 19, 2016 at 1:02

In general you should adjust a balance/strider bike so that:
When sitting on the seat their feet are flat on the ground with a slight bend at the knees.
The handlebars are at about mid-torso height.
I usually tell people to worry about saddle height first, then handlebar adjustments.

I wonder why hasn't any experienced member of this community up voted this! I treat up votes as a way of knowing whether the answer is correct or not. Feb 19, 2016 at 9:41

I use my recumbent bike as kind of balance bike for short distances and the handlebars are just higher than mid torso. They are a bit high for comfort but can be used this style. I would like to buy full size modern strider bike but have not found one yet. (I have used an old model in a museum and liked the fun of it.)– WillekeFeb 20, 2016 at 18:07
