Is this a good bike for adding a front or rear child seat (for a 1-year old)?

I'm not sure in terms of attachment but in terms of weight I think the frame is strong enough to hold the weight of a 1-yr old. I have front and back baskets attached and use them for groceries which when filled would weigh more than a 1-yr old.

Yes. I have "Yepp" child seat on front of my bicycle since my son was a year old. It has been working perfect for both my son and I. He is now turning 2 and still loves and enjoying to ride. We added basket on the rear rack and going grocery shopping and get a lots of compliment about the bike itself and also with child seat. Hope this will help.

I never tried a front carrier. The back seat type (Thule Ridealong) works with some effort adjusting the carrier's downtube bracket. Check your seat manufacturer. We only use the one. I don't see why you couldn't make the front type work too.

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.

It depends how tall your child is. My grandson fits it great and really zips around on it. He is 4 1/2, and he is a bit short for his age. At age 3 1/2 he was working at it, but this year it is fun! Also, we have the seat adjusted as low as it will go. He has room to grow on this bike.

I am buying a 16 or even 18 inch bike for my 5 year old. He outgrew the 12 inch bike so quickly! The bigger bikes now have quick release seat adjustments which is a really nice and useful feature. And many of them come with training wheels which is another nice feature as my 5 year old still uses them :)

My 4-year old daughter handles it easily. Shouldn't be a problem for your grandson. And it's a great bike. :)

Probably not cause it has the training wheels on it. Overall it's not a good bike. This is my 2nd one. The first one fell apart in a few months and my son hardly rode it. So I got a replacement from the maker. This one is pretty much falling apart too. It's a good concept but not durable.

It is an easy bike to peddle, but this bike is for kids who are five and up. If you are looking for a first time bike for a kid younger than that I would go down a size. It is easier to balance a bike when it is closer to the ground.

Yes! Great bike my son is almost 4 and LOVES it!!! He especially loves the cones that come with the bike so that he can set up a "course".

Our 4-1/2 year old is small for her age and is just outgrowing this bike. We probably should have gone for a bigger size since we only bought it 6 months ago. I think it would be fine for a 2-1/2 year old.

I think your granddaughter would benefit from a smaller bike. She probably would not be able to ride safely on this one yet.

This bike is perfect for my daughter who is 2 1/2. It would probably be too small for a 4 year old like my son, but of course it depends on the child.

Absolutely. The seat is adjustable and easy for taller kids. My son is 28 months and quite a bit taller and gets lots of use out of this bike. It's his favorite thing!

It's a great bike for him. I got it for my grandson before he could sit up, and now he is riding around all over the place. They do eventually grow into it.

I'd say ideal for 1 year old with all pieces, but some pieces will need to be removed as kids get older in order for them to fit. My 4 year old likes to use it still, but only without the child restraints and the umbrella. (it is basically a trike with a parent handle at this point)

Probably not. Got this for my one year old who was about 31" (i think) around birthday time. This toy is WAY to small she cant even fit on it, her knees almost hit the handlebars. Save your money and buy something else to ride on.

We don't have a child seat on... but it looks like no problem. The bike is really nice great components nice paint, my wife loves it.. always gets compliments.

Not quite sure what you are asking. I will say that this bike is great though. You can use it as a balance bike without pedals and then as your child grows and is ready for pedals you just add them to the bike. It comes with all the equipment to add the pedals when it is time. Can't recommend this bike enough. Cost is the only negative. Hope this info helps.
