You're welcome! I took my grandson to a motorcycle dealership and had him sit on various bikes to determine the best seat height for him and have done this many times with my kids and others. Ideally the rider should be able to stand the bike up using the ball of their feet (part behind the toes) and not flat feet. This gauge allows for growing room. Bike manufacturers assert this to be a 26 to 28 inch seat height for most 8 year olds - the age when many rids are ready to move up. I have found that the CRF50 clones have taller seat foam than the Actual Honda. For my granddaughter I trimmed the seat foam down an inch to reach the proper seat height.
