Do your kids feet ever go near the front tire? Is it possible for tall kids to get their foot stuck in it while seated?

It Is possible but never happened. The foot rest is comfy for them so it isn't a natural tendancy to put your foot there. My oldest is almost 6 and still rides some. Her legs and feet are never an issue. She is very tall for her age. We love the stroller.

It's conceivable, I suppose, but they'd have to try pretty hard to reach around the fork. The angle of their legs when seated are such that anywhere they 'd touch, the wheel is actually moving away from them. We have thousands of miles on ours, and we've never had a problem.

My husband runs with our two tall boys 4 and 2 yrs old both in 95th percentile for height and this has never been an issue.

Yes, some times the front wheel will get stuck because they pivot a little, but you re-position it and it goes through just fine. I use it to take the babies into little stores :)

I ride with my wife on the back (I'm 6'1", 210lbs & she's 5'6", 135lbs) & they aren't in her way while riding. They do make it a little more difficult for her to get on, but not that bad. With her feet on the pegs, her legs are close to the bags, but they don't touch them. I ran the velcro strap under the seat instead of over and as far back as I could get it - a little more difficult, but it works. I don't think kids would have any problem.

Candy I believe the height of the kid determines which bike you choose. Most manufacturers rate bikes for older kids as a precaution. If both feet can reach the ground that's the one.

My toddler feet rested in the footrest until about 5 (plus he was too tall to fit under the canopy). I think it is more comfortable than my other double stroller, at least for them, since they have more space to rest their feet. I can't think of a time when their feet interfered with the wheels however I can remember plenty of times with my other stroller.

Hello I gave the bike as a gift to my godson I'm not quite sure. However believe the low position goes down to the bike itself. The highest position wa more my concern because my godson is tall for his age. It's a very nice well made bike. If your child is growing fast though, they may out grow it quickly.

I am a car seat tech, and an ER RN. I have seen kids become quadriplegics due to forward facing at young ages. My almost 4 yr old and my 28 month old are still rear facing and will be until they are 45 lbs. It would be my expert opinion that your child will be up to 4 times safer if kept rear facing. As a parent, please consider their safety. It is easy to keep them rear facing if it's all they know. You can get a seat that will rear face up for 40 lbs and harness to 65 lbs. That would be my suggestion for you. The newest recommendations from the AAP is to keep kids rear facing until age 2 or they reach the weight limit of their convertible seat, whichever is LONGER. Motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of PREVENTABLE deaths of kids in the US. And there has never been a documented case of leg injury from extended rear facing. Please don't think I am preaching, I just try to do what I can to keep kids safe! Any questions, feel free to ask.

As your child pushes himself/herself while sitting on the bike, foot rests on the back would tangle his/her feet between the pavement and the bike as the foot goes back. Foot rests on the front would make steering more difficult for these beginner balancers. My son simply lifts his feet for the few seconds that he coasts and then returns to pushing himself along on the ground. We have also taken him to the BMX track where he and other little ones actually race these on part of the track and none had any issues with the bike not having foot rests. Some rest their feet on frame that slopes back to hold the back wheel. Hope that helps.

Ours is long gone, but had the same problem. Have no answer, just keep putting it back on. I guess you can try to glue it. That thing was a life saver. Plop the kid in and you can get some things done. Both kids loved it, especially when starting to walk.

I have a question - Im shorter than all of you at 4'9". I recently spent an evening putting together a reclining bike only to find my feet went nowhere near the pedals even on the lowest setting! Reluctant to buy another one.. Any ideas?

Hi there ,well, to be honest, i am heavy and my kids like to jump or play on the sofa.So the result was that we broke the main part. My husband tried to fix it.didn't work out.we kept a corner but it's not worth it.

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.

Yes, the main seat does allow for your child to travel forward or rear facing in the top position until 55 lbs. We do not recommend using the second seat without use of the primary position because of proper weight distribution needed to prevent tipping.

I think our son is about 43 inches tall right now. He can ride very comfortably. However when we first got it about a year ago he had a little bit of trouble. I can't remember his exact height at that time though. At Most, she might have just a little bit of trouble reaching the pedals; however you can buy some pedal raisers that would fix the problem.

I haven't had a problem with that at all, but I ride a road bike. Basically, if it were to go low enough to touch my tire it would sit right on top of my brakes rather than touch the tire. The bottom strap locks in to the top of the A-frame above the wheel and brakes, so it can't go lower than that. I think you'll be fine.

Not really... My 2 year old sat hunched over on the bench since the front chair back has to be fully reclined. I ended up purchasing the Caboose Too rear seat so she could have a more comfortable ride back there. It doesn't help that the bench does not lock in place, so her hunched position would get worse as the bench would slide out of place.

A fair amount, my daughter is quite tall for 5yrs. the throttle is placed forward (right side) shouldn't be an issue. IMO pressing with the toes/ ball of the foot gives more control.
