He's been way too small for it on every previous occasion we've fished it out of the shed, particularly those occasions near the time of purchase a couple of years ago, but a recent spurt has resulted in legs long and strong enough to not only be able to just stand astride it but to also be able to right himself if he leans a bit too far to the left or right, meaning I can stop looking at methods of potentially lowering it further or temporarily replacing it with a smaller model. It would take some Muybridging to be able to capture both feet off the floor at the moment but he's keen to propel himself, which is the main thing, though not so keen as to not want to stop to watch the digger juddering some piles into the ground.
