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.

our 1 yr old grandson was on it everyday...it has a safety seat!! I am planning on buying another one for my own home.

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!

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.

Yes. We have owned this bike for about 2 years and it has a very good bike for my now 9 year old son.

No, this is a GREAT bike though! The off brand one we got is way heavier and the set up makes it so smaller children won't fit. Our two year old LOVES this!

The bike is of average weight for a child's bike. I thank goodness that this bike is so sturdy because my 6 year old grandson is very rough on his outdoor toys. I hope this was helpful to you.

My boys got them at 4.5 years old, the seat is adjustable and it is an easy first bike. But if your grandson is tall, then he might outgrow it in a year. My 6 year old daughter, on the shorter side, uses a 16 inch wheel bike which will last her a couple of more years.

I started riding with my son in it when he was 1 year old and up to when he was 4 years old and he surpassed the 40lb weight limit and out grew it. I'd have no problem riding a child under 1 yrs in it either

This is more a beginner bike. I don't think my son will put his feet on a foot rest for another year. He just sort of holds them up for now.

This is an 'older' child bike. If your kiddo needs training wheels, I would personally go with a smaller frame and one with wheels included. :) This is more of a bike for a kiddo who has been riding without training wheels. :)

This one has adjustable pedals and seat according to my husband. It is pretty sturdy as well so unless he is a really large 5 year old this should fit him. Our grandson is average for his 3 years and he definitely should grow into this. I expect he will still be using it in 2 years and right now he is defintely challenged by it in a good way. I believe a 5 year old would love it unless he is ready for a 2 wheel bike already.

You should be just fine with it. The seat does move up and down and forward a bit if needed. My son got it just before he was 8 and he is short for his age. Plus, with the middle bar being a bit slanted it is easier to get on and off. We love this bike!

The seat is already almost touching the frame, so I would say not much, if at all. I would add that this is not a bike you sit on like a normal bike: the child needs to be able to stand over the seat and walk or run and then sit down on the seat. If the child is too small they have to sit when they are pushing and that is not comfortable. I tried having my 4 year old use it last year but she was too small. This year, at 5, it is much better and she enjoys it.

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

Any child that can fit on it can use it. The frame is quite small. The directions that come with the bike are not relevant to the actual product.

It's subjective I think, but just know this is tiny. We got it for our average size 18 month old and he fit perfect. I'd consider the next size up bmx style one, so you have more longevity. There are some blog reviews where you can see kids of different ages/sizes on the bike.
