Do the handlebars "lock" so only the parent can steer the bike? Thanks!

Yes, it does but it is a little clunky and does not lock very tight. However since my son outgrew it when he was 15 months old this was not an issue.

yes, there is bolt on each end which clamps it to the fork. The bar may be removed, but the forks have a tendency to not remain pointing straight out when moving a load that is shifting.

Absolutely. The front handle-bars only attach to a mounting clap and have no other structural function. I left them off as I would probably hit them with my knee as I had to turn the console up as far as I could to prevent contact with my knee. Frankly I wished the console were smaller. The bottle holder and 'reading tray' are not needed. I do wonder if the smaller console of the model before this one would work on this bike. Might call the company and ask them.

Depends on the bike. Sport bikes no, but cruisers maybe. I have a CBR600rr and I have to settle for locking the back wheel to a post.

If you lock the handles by lowering the brakes on the hand grip, it does lock the back wheels

It's actually a useful little gadget to stabalize the bike by holding the handlebar. Unfortunately, the main clamp has a plastic piece that is not strong enough to hold the bike firmly. Until they fix that, I would look elsewhere

Handlebar can only be adjusted up to a certain point. Yes, a suspension seat post can be added at a leter time as all bikes are already boxed with to the current specifications. Thanks

I have the model with the arms that lock on after you assemble. I have two bikes on mine and have had no issues with them slipping or moving. I was hesitant at first, but its worked great.

So far, yes. But with that said, my 3 year old doesn't like to go biking very often. Sometimes, the training wheels get loose and for the first few times of using it, I had to carry around a wrench. It hasn't done that in a while though. The handlebar for the parents is sturdy and strong and does control the bike. Overall we've been pretty happy with it.

I have never used the handlebar, I just bought it put on my old bike when I bought new once. Sorry.

I am enjoying my bike. I am purchased the rear brake, and you may want a different set of handlebars. However, that would be a personal preference. I kept the stock handlebars. The rear brake was a big deal to me. I feel that it gives me more control over the bike.

Yes and no. There is no lock. It moves easily but also very awkwardly . The wheels are in the front. A better placement would be for them to be in the back because most people lift the front and scoot the back when moving. It's just a stupid design flaw. That said, it is light enough to move easily should you need to but heavy enough to stay out. My older kids are always climbing on it and it's pretty sturdy.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. The rear wheels have a brake installed. It is operated by a hand lever that is on the right grip of the handlebar. IT DOES LOCK. To lock the brake, you apply the hand lever and, at the same time push the locking pin in and the lever locks. To unlock, simply squeeze the hand lever again and the spring loaded pin releases and the brake disengages.

There are two options. In both cases parent can steer: * duo mode: child and parent can steer * solo mode: parent only

We've had this for our kids before. We were able to adjust the handlebars slightly. It's under the padding.

Yes. The handlebar holder is detatchable and can be attached in whatever way helps hold the bike in the position you need.

There is no locking mechanism on the rack itself, but I just run a cable through all the bikes and through the loop on my trailer hitch. Keep in mind that if you lock/chain the bikes to the rack itself, you'd also want to make sure you have a locking trailer hitch/pin to prevent someone from simply pulling the pin and taking the entire rack with all your bikes attached to it (albeit, that would be heavy and awkward...but maybe I'm just a bit paranoid ;-) Great rack though. Good luck.
