will it work for kids with special needs?

I feel that it will. The three point harness is very sturdy and will hold up to active children moving around a lot. Hope this helps ;)

I have a special needs daughter (she has a rare chromosome disorder), and it is working great for her.

Hi Amanda I suppose it would depend on what sort of disability the child has. However, I can safely put my as was 3 year old daughter in this, and she was kept safe and secure. Feet are strapped on to the peddles so can not accidentally fall off, the body/chest is securely strapped in with a three point harness, and to date she's not yet worked out how to undo it. Possible issues. A) Child could happily stick arms out on either side risking them being hit by passing objects. B) No side head support, so if the child struggles to keep their neck straight, this may be an issue. As far as B is concerned, we purchased one of those sleeping cushions for long flights, and have fitted that to the bike, so that if she wants to sleep she can. The only other thing I'd say is, if the child isn't going to help pedal, you'll be limited on the hills that you could tackle with it, simply due to weight of child/trailer.

I can not say from my personal experience, but I have read reviews of other users stating that is the main reason why they purchased the Weehoo iGo. I think the 3-point harness and the seating position allows for safe use for kids that need that extra level of safety and stability.

Every kid is different so hard to say. You can strap them into the seat so they don't fall out but the problem would be the feet. They would need to be able to keep their feet in the foot straps or on the pedals so that the feet could not hit the ground and be injured. They don't have to pedal.

I would be surprised if it worked on an infant. It works on my 5 year old though.

It will do. It will do better for a 4 year old. By the time s/he turns 5 it will probably be way too small.

No... they'd have to put some effort into it. My 7 year old son and my 4 year old nephew use it just fine with no problems.

Yes, it would. It scratches fairly easily and we are very careful with it. Depends on your kids, I guess.

I think itwould big enough ... then again it probably will depend on the specific activity ... but kids have to learn to adjust and share space in my opinion... my 2 cents... good luck

It will work if he/she is not a large kid. It is now too small for our 5 yr old grandson who has graduated to a standard two wheeler and he is doing fine. One of his younger sisters likes the balance bike and prefers it to a standard two wheeler because she can go faster on the balance bike!

I think it would work. Our granddaughter was about six or seven months old when she used it last summer, and we were very pleased with it. She loved it!

Wondering if this worked for your child, or if you found something better? I am looking for a solution to the same problem with my son. Thanks!

My youngest is 11 and she struggled a little bit but she did know quite a few. I'm not sure it would work for younger children.

Probably. It's appropriate for my almost 2-year old who is on the small side. Good luck!

I would say that depends on the child. If he or she is small for age, then, yes.

If the child is an average size 4 year old, yes its suitable. However my son who is soon to be 4 hates being in it. So i use it mainly for my 3 year old. If you are looking for one child, there are a lot cheaper options. Good luck

Yes,Definitely that's what I bought it for. My son is 12 my daughter is 10 .They have been fighting over it so I guess it work's pretty well. I'm going to order another 1 very soon.!!

I would guess that it would work, but really couldn't say. I bought it 4 my nephew and thats about all I can tell you...!!!!

Yes but at that age they might feel it is a bit small. I bought it for much younger kids
