Is there a place where the child can rest their feet if the toddler is still learning to pedal? I have a very tall 2 y/o who will fit on this, but still pushes around toys with her feet. Thanks.

Our grandson is at the same point of usage and there is nothing there that interferes with that.

No, the tricycle doesn't have a resting platform for the feet. One possible solution, as your child is growing into the size of the bike and learning to pedal, is to attach pedal blocks to the bike. These can be purchased from Amazon, as well as most sporting goods stores.

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.

There is no resting spot but my child was 2 yes old when we got it couldn't quite reach the peddles but loved pushing it with his feet. They'll grow into it and it's a great bike we get complements every time we are out.

No there isn't. We got this for our 2.5 yr old grandson who is on the small side. He could just reach the pedals when he got it and learned quickly to pedal and steer. Now at 3 he's a pro. He loves his bike. It's very well made and will last. Maybe wait until your son is just a little bit older.

There is no foot rest but with the locking wheels it's not going to be a problem. I have 2 of them and neither of my little ones (age 1 & 2) can quite reach the peddle yet. And with the wheel locked you have total control over steering. Both of my little ones LOVE them!

Excellent question, there is not footrest since it's kid pedal powered. I do wish it had a place for the kids feet but then it would make it hard for them to propel themselves forward.

Hello Linda,I bought this for my 2 year old, the pedals were a little hard for him to reach. We moved the seat up as far as it would go and ended up also making some pedal blocks. My son is very tall for a 2 year old and he couldn't reach the pedals. The bike is awesome though and he loves it! Kristen

My daughter is tall and always was. Because there are no pedals I'd say you got more room than with a traditional bike. Unfortunately she has no interest yet in using it. She loves her scooter too much.

We bought this toy for our grandson, at around 18 months of age. He enjoyed straddling it inside and, as he grew, could use the pedals to power himself. If it's used outside, I would still supervise your child, as sometimes little people become distracted, looking all around and can tip themselves over. Their feet will be the brakes, so supervision is also needed where stopping is critical, or on downward slopes. Our grandson's favourite part of this toy is the 'trunk', where he can stow a stuffed animal, toy, or other gadgets. Radio Flyer is a great brand, and we have bought other pieces as gifts. I think you'll be pleased if you go ahead with this purchase. We bought this toy for our grandson, at around 18 months of age.

nope, no place to add pedals. My son, who is 3, learned to balance very quickly on this. much better option than training wheels, although more expensive.

It doesn't have foot rest... But it has a lock on the front wheel that you can use so when it's rolling the pedals doesn't hurt your baby...

There is enough room but the small child would probably not be able to reach the foot rest area. Putting the small child in the front would be best, but feet would still not reach.

That's questionable . I bought it for my 3 year old grandson who is tall for his age and he can't reach the base pedal or the floor when he's sitting on it, but he absolutely loves it. It might be a case that I don't have it set correctly. . Sorry I couldn't be more help .

I bought this for my 2-year old. The seat definitely goes down low enough for two-year old height. She loves putting things in the little pouch in front and LOVES the water bottle. Developmentally, she wasn't quite ready for a bike right at 2. She's slowly learned to peddle and propel herself a little, but at 2.5, she's still not strong enough to peddle unless we are on even pavement. We use the back handle a lot. I'm hoping this bike will grow with her for a couple more years. It's a solid choice, but you might also consider a balance bike (without peddles) to ease your child into the world of bicycles.

I think it should be safe for 1yr old. My only concern would be to make sure that kid's feet do not touch the ground while riding. Normally , the legs would be secured on the pedals, and older kids would understand not to touch the ground. However, 1yr old probably won't be able to reach the ground even if s/he tries.

They have one that has a foot rest for the child, get that one maybe. My granddaughter loves her trike but her legs are to short to stay on the pedals as a 14 month old and she is to young to know not to keep putting her feet on the wheel. Just to let you know we still use it, her feet can not really get hurt with closed in shoes, because everything is plastic. It will just get a light color shoe really dirty looking. My husband is working on something to hang over the main bar for her feet to be placed in so her feet have some other place to rest other than the wheel. Just a Grandparent loving time with the little one

No there aren't, but the seat can be screwed in one of three different positions to accommodate children of different heights. Also, for this tricycle's youngest users (9-18 months), the directions say that the pedals should be locked, and this allows them to be used like foot rests. A safety arm with a cup holder is also provided to keep younger/shorter users secured.

My daughter is 35" tall (at nearly 3 years old) and seemed to be able to reach the pedals on an in-store display. The seat is adjustable. The problem is that some in-store smart cycles have the seat height fixed. A 35" tall kid might need shoes on to pedal properly, I think.

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years

I suppose if your toddler is tall. My daughter is a little over 3 feet and was just recently able to get her feet to do the rotation with the pedals a couple months ago. I think it would be possible.
