Is this bike worth purchasing for my 2 1/2 yr old?

Yes . The handle bars and neck is high so your child could probably get 2 years worth of riding

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.

Yes my daughter loves it just make sure she loves Cinderella at 3 my daughter started loving hello kitty so I wish I knew that when I got the bike for her 2nd bday

Yes absolutely! I just purchased this bike for my three year old this past Christmas. She just turned three in January and it is the perfect fit and will easily work until she moves up to a regular two wheel bike. FYI my daughter is also very tall. The overall quality of the bike and the workmanship is well worth the price. It is very sturdy, steers well and has awesome tires! You won't find another bike like this!!

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.

I think so. Even if it's a bit early, the bike is easily adjustable, so the child can easily grow into it.

Yes, this bike would be too small. My 6 & 8-y-o both have this bike. The frame is shorter. It is also a beginner bike so when you back peddle it brakes so it makes it tough to do tricks and stuff

My kid is 2 and 1/2 and he does fine. The first time i rode him he was clise to 2 but I would start with a short trip to see how he/she likes it.

Depending on her height, I would go for a 12" (John Deere also makes a 12" version of this bike). We are getting one for our 2 yo daughter who is very tiny but, she rides her brother's (3.5 yo) 12" bike better than our tricycles. Remember that the seat adjusts...our son still has another year or more left in his 12". Buying "up size" may be OK for coats but, getting a bike that's too big is just a recipe for frustration, possible injury, and maybe a trip back to the store or post office to return a too big bike.

It is good on any surface that your grandchild can balance him or herself on. The bike is more about the child learning balance and pushing them-self along. There are NO pedals on this bike. The tires are solid so you do not have to worry about inflating them or tubes popping on rocks or difficult to navigate surfaces.

No! It is a very small bike for a 3-5 year old. I would get her a bigger bike. Check the dimensions.

I think that this bike will have a bit too much power for him because its a fast bike. His size might work but the speed will probably worry me since he's really only 6 years old.

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel. Have you looked into coaster bikes?

Honestly yes I think it is. Maybe best for someone under 5'7. But it's a great bike. I've had offers from strangers trying to buy it from me.

I don't have an exact answer for you, other than this bike is very sturdy and durable. We had a smaller sized bike at one point that weighed much more than this bike! It isn't "light weight", but in the middle, if that helps. We have two of these bikes, and I think you would be happy with this purchase. We have got a lot of use out of ours and our kids love it.

It's quite heavy. My 14 year old loved it til it was stolen. It would be a bike he could grow into. I'd buy it for that age.

Hi Jennifer, I purchased this bike for my 6 year old son this year, it is perfect for him... He had not had a bike before, so this was his first bike... In a week he was using the gears and he absolutely loves it. A great buy. I did add a bike stand to the purchase, he uses that well. Hope this helps. Paul

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.

My son loves this bike (it's very tough and sturdy). Grass, dirt and sidewalks have not been an issue when riding it. I must say he did have difficulty with pushing the pedal initially- I think it's because he was 2 and likely needs time to grow into the bike. My oldest son 15 actually stands on the bar between the back wheels and uses his feet to give my little one a faster adventurous ride :) I'd definitely recommend.
