You may go to parentscenter.com and use their calculation. The results are pretty much within the ball park for about ten children I know.

I've heard an old wives tale that a child will grow up to be twice the height that they are at the age of 3.

The growth charts here are commonly used by doctors to predict a child's height, but nothing is for certain.
First genes determine how tall you will be, but this can be affected a few inches or more by environment, what you eat, drink, and do. Physical activity is also a prime factor.

You can't. Two tall parents can have a short child and two short parents could have a tall child. There is no way to know. Too many generations of people who have long gone and you have no idea how tall they were. It can go WAY back. I look just like my great-great grandmother. She died in 1881.

Well if the child's parents are tallt there is a good chance the child will be however this is not a gurantee.
There really is no guarantee to this.

when my kids were really small people told me that if you take their height at age three and times it by two that will be close to their adult height (within a few inches) I asked my mom and we figured it out for me and it was right .

When my son was a baby, they told me that he was going to be tall because of size of his head.
Don't know if that is true or not, but he is tall.
