    DD2 is 4 and still rides her balance bike everywhere in spite of being able to ride a pedal bike. She feels more comfortable and confident on it. DD1 rode hers until she turned 5 from memory so I don't think she's too old. You can pick them up incredibly cheaply these days (about $50) so it's not a massive outlay.

    DS is 4 & we got one for him for christmas as he wasn't "getting" the pedal bike. He really lacks confidence in riding so I think it is beneficial for him. I don't think he's too old.

    No, not too old at all I don't think! My DD1 is 4 and she loves her balance bike.
