Can parent push handle stay up right without holding or pushing it? What if child want to bike on her own without removing the handle sometimes?

I don't remember the advertisement, but the tricycle can be built or rebuilt into three items... a rocker, the push trike, and a regular trike. The handle that you see stays upright and in that position, the child can can bike on their own. I would think that when the child is able to pedal, that you would want to remove the push handle.

The handlebars are stationary & do not turn like bicycle handlebars. My kids tilt to turn.

No, unfortunately not. It sits low enough though to allow for the child to push the bike with his or her feet though until they learn to peddle. It's an awesome little tricycle though. I wish I had one this nice when I was a kid... Best of luck with what ever bike you decide on.

Hello JoeyWit, In answer to your question regarding the handles on the Body Rider Fan Bike, I'm afraid that unfortunately, it is not possible to lock the handles as they are attached to the pedals and they move in conjunction with that motion. I have found though, that it is not difficult to let go of the handles and pedal the bike without holding on. I hope this helps. Take care and Merry Christmas! :-D

You only need to pull down/forward or pull to right. You don't push the handle back at all.

No, you don't. But it works as a handle too if you plan on pushing it around.

Yes. When the parent handle in the back is not attached the handlebars steer. With the parent bar attached the steering is locked to that.

No, if you want it to stay in one place you must set the brake. That being said, not to offend, you do know that you can push the handles down and the brakes will hold themselves?

The handle can be unscrewed off but it's meant to push the child. There are no pedals on the buggy so without the handle, it's not gonna move.

I honestly don't know. We've only used the bike in connected/towing mode. My son hasn't learned to ride the boy's bike on his own yet.

As long as the bike has a kickstand or something stable keep it upright, you can operate it alone

No, but we have never had a problem with the cart "getting away" from the kids. It's really for the early years, although I can see our granddaughter using it until she is three or four. She loves to put rocks, dolls, her chalk in it and carry them around the yard. She is walking and running now but still uses the walker. I believe you may be able to adjust the handle forward and backward which would make it a little taller or shorter.

The handlebar is removable, but may not be safe if one was to accidentally land where the handlebar goes. Hopefully that makes since.

I would say so. The handle makes it great to 'push' kids, if they need it...almost like a stroller. It does require some assembly, but maybe 30 minutes worth or so...and I am a 'computer nerd' type...not any good at working with tools!

My son is mobile enough he can get himself into the chair. So, I hold the hand brake and verbally guide him into the chair. "Butt first, hold on to the handle". But if I were not holding the chair, I fear it would slide out from under him.

Your child will coast without pedaling. If your child presses back on the pedal the brake will engage, it is very sensitive. All in all it is a great little bike.

Yes. We had no troubles attaching it to my mother's handlebars and it has stayed there for the past 3 months.
