A typical 4-year-old child’s height generally falls within these ranges:
- For girls: about 37 to 42.5 inches (94 to 108 cm)
- For boys: about 37.5 to 43 inches (95 to 109 cm)
On average, a 4-year-old is roughly around 40 to 41 inches tall (about 102 to 104 cm)
. Children grow at different rates, so there is a wide range of normal heights at this age. Pediatricians use growth charts to track if a child’s growth is within a healthy range. If a child’s height is significantly outside these ranges or growth patterns seem unusual, consulting a healthcare provider is recommended
. In summary, a 4-year-old should typically be between 37 and 43 inches tall, with around 40 inches being average.
