Minimum and Maximum Child Size

Our Junior karts are very adjustable, both the pedals and the seat can be adjusted, but there are obviously limitations.
The minimum height to be able to safely control our karts is 4’2”. (127cm)
Maximum sizes are far harder to stipulate.
Height for example; a child may be long legged or have average legs and be long in the body. A similar problem occurs with weight limits. Some children are broad in the shoulders and muscly while another child of the same overall weight can be bell shaped and struggle to fit the seat.
This is why we hesitate to list maximum sizes


Both of these children may weigh the same but one may well have a harder time fitting in the seat.
We are more than happy to let your child try a kart for size at any time before your planned visit. This can prevent an awful lot of upset and embarrassment on the day. Please contact us if you would like to arrange to try out a kart for size.
