No brake? Once they get confidence, how do kids stop?

They just put their feet down. They are close to the ground and there are no pedals in the way.

If the kid's too young to be playing with the car on his/her own, you can always insert the floorboard and push the car around :) It's great until they can scoot themselves around when they're more coordinated.

There is still a position between braking and pedaling where the child can coast.

The pedals lock, so their feet can rest and unlock when they learn how to pedal by themselves. Hope this helps!

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.

There is no brake, however there is a black rubber gripper around the wheels for traction. If you are torn, all I can say is that I've been consistently impressed by this toy- it's durable and I expect it will last years. I have three rough kids and I'm amazed that it still looks like its new. The quality is excellent and it'll transition well as your baby grows up into a kid.

Children are very flexible so their legs wouldn't be "too long" for years. My 26 month old is still rear facing and loves to flop her legs all over the place. We don't plan on turning her around anytime soon. I have some friends that are still rear facing their almost 4 year olds. Their skeletons are still forming and solidifying.

Foot break too. I actually left the hand break off during assembly so my son would have less to deal with as he learned how to ride.

There is no brake...... there's one button on the right handlebar...... u press it and it goes and wen u release the button it stops...... it doesnt travel fast enough to need a brake

I suppose it depends on where the training wheels are. The only way to find out is to try and if not it can be a reward for them learning to ride without training wheels. Either way a win-win!

Balance is important so I think that a child is helped quite a bit anyhow to learn to get on the horse and movement is another factor. My grandson was 2.5 before he was not afraid of it and then allowed me to set him onto the horse. Then of course, he got very familiar and soon he was going too fast so I had to watch that he was safe.

It's been at least a year since you posted this question, so I hope you've solved the problem by now. My parents had the same fight with me and my brother when we were young and solved it by slamming on the breaks when they saw our seat belts were off (obviously, they made sure the road conditions were safe for this!). I tumbled to the front of our van and my brother hit a cabinet. Then we got yelled at and (probably) spanked. We were unharmed, but very terrified by the experience and NEVER took our seatbelt off again. It's not a solution I can recommend, but it worked on me.

My kids are 2-1/2 and 4-1/2 they are my biggest one is able to buckle herself but not the little one. No they aren't able to get out on their own. I haven't teach them how. But if your daughter is 7 i am sure she could.

My son was 3 when we got this. He learned very fast about balance when he was hooked up to my bike, and he learned about braking, as he would put his brakes on as I was going up hill. He has since learned not to do that and help me brake when we go downhill. He is 5 now and this summer he will be ready to take the training wheels off. It should last him another year depending on how fast he grows.Hopefully that helps.

They have to scoot themselves or you would have to push. It is not like a regular riding toy, more of a saucer with armrests and wheels. Lots of fun for the kids, not so much for the parents of little ones that require spinning or pushing.

Hello. We would always suggest that parents do what they think is necessary, but the Fly Bike does not have pedals and the Bike is used with the child's feet on the ground and their hands on the handle bars.Thank you

A friend's daughter, who was the 4th child, was riding with confidence at 18 months. For her age is was surprising how quickly she would ride. My son who is more cautious in nature was interested and coordinated enough by 2 1/2.
