I am thinking of buying this pedal car and adapt it to a kids styling chair base, just like the Pibbs 1806 Taxi Styling Chair, what do you think?

I am not familiar with the chair style, however I can tell you that thus sits very low and is very heavy

I think so. My other GR. nephews are 8 and 9 and still can ride it. There is now roof and you should be atleast 3yrs so the feet can reach the pedals and for the developmental issues. There's also plenty of room from the edge of the feet. So if he has to slight bend his knees when he pedals. I have two more characters(GR. niece/nephews) to order these for. One is only 8 months and the other isn't due until Apr.

I would say no, I used to be a trainer and would recommend a bicycle similar to this. You can find the pedals only that are a bicycle motion, though I'm not sure where I've never shopped for it. That would fit with a chair better. This stepper only works by having your body weight to keep the motion going.

No. Based on what I saw with my two kids, multiple neighborhood kids, and visiting cousins, no kid can "ride" this bike. It is low, awkward, uncomfortable, un-ergonomic, etc. It looks cool, so kids will be excited to sit on it. Aftwr two minutes (MAX) attempting and failing to find a way to have fun with it, they'll get off and never get back on. Buy a different balance bike, or better yet, stick with a good tricycle until it's time for a bike with training wheels. Learning to pedal is more important at this age anyway.

If you buy this you and your child will love it. It is the neatest car for kids. The car comes in the box. It's pretty light, but you'll need a truck or SUV to put the box in. I helped a friend of mine purchase this for her grand daughter & she just loved it. It brings me back to when I was a kid. It is just so real & cool. I hope you consider the purchase. It is definitely a price & worth the price.

I wouldn't recommend it. The base has the "motor" and basically, it pushes the cars through so they loop endlessly. You have to manually hold the switch, which raises up the bottom part of the loop, allowing the car to squeeze under and circle around the rest of the track - ultimately arriving back in the loop (providing it doesn't crash into the other car while on the track). Some heavier cars just barely make it around the track and into the loop. Adding additional track would definitely mean the motor couldn't power them across the entire circuit and back to the main loop. Also, the track portion curves and has special supports to keep it in place, I am not sure that track could be added to it without causing it to warp. It really does have a rather large footprint, it takes up the entire coffee table we have it on - hanging off the sides slightly.

I'm sorry, our grandson has outgrown this trike and we sold it. You should contact Kettrike; as I remember, they were helpful with questions we had! Good luck, I hope it works out 'cuz this is a wonderful trike!!!!

I personally think its great until they outgrow car seats all together. The head rest adjust up and the seat seems plenty big.

It doesn't jerk around too much so its worth a shot. These little cars are a pretty smooth ride. So as long as he has decent balance and control he should be good.

As fun as this thing looks, I would say they would love it. You just have to make sure they aren't too tall for the toy. If they are tall I would think their knees would be too close to them off of the pedals and it may be uncomfortable

Hi Susie, I personally thought this was a great bike for my grandson who was five at the time of purchase. Remember it's a glide and does not have wheels. My grandson loved the bike but preferred the wheels. It is an EXCELLENT 1st bike for little guys. If you have not watched the video please do so. It is great for teaching balance and can not me any easier to put together, 5min. Best of wishes with your decision. Enjoy! Donna K

I would not recommend just because it wont be on a flat or hard base!!! The pale seats are foam and it can make the chair not sturdy enough. On the other hand the chair is great and it collapses super small!!!! So if you believe you can use it later i would give it a try and if it doesn't work you can just ptu it away. I like the chair and my son uses it a lot.

In my opinion, there is definitely room for improvement. The trucks are pretty smooth for a while if you tweak them right, but overall are pretty standard and eventually become a little too unstable for higher speeds. So I'd say if you have the money to, buy the new trucks for the board (You'll have to eventually anyways). The rubber wheels on the board are certainly a pretty sweet ride if you like smoothness too!

I am 37 years old and I get a kick out of riding it. And all our neighbor kids ages 5-12 think it's fun too. My girls, 3 & 4 yrs old aren't quite into it, maybe too young? I think for the price it's worth it. I do think that the older/bigger/heavier the person the slower the car moves though.

absolutely yes!!!. The distanza from the seat to the pedals you can adjost to your needs.

Definitely. My daughter is 37 inches and she reaches the pedal just fine. We bought this so she wouldn't grow out of it so fast like the other ones. She is even able to tote her 9 year old sister around with no problems as well. The product is worth it.

I don't know about the pedals, but I can tell you we have been very unhappy with the product. We got it for our 2 year-old for Christmas last year. We could tell that it was a mistake as soon as we took it out o the box. As we assembled it we found that the parts didn't go together well and that it was quite rickety. Our son has never taken to it. It leans over when you push it. Also, be aware that there is no way for an adult to steer it while pushing it, unlike some other similar tricycles. I would keep looking for other products if I were you. good luck.
