Is the child's bike tipped back as far as it appears? It seems like it would be uncomfortable.

The bike does tip a little bit, but not to the point of discomfort. It's just enough to tip the wheel up, so only the back wheel is on the ground. We have used this now for almost 2 years and it's totally worth the investment. My daughter loved it. She's now ready to ride on her own at age 5, but this helped make her feel like a big kid until now.

Slightly, but my child has never complained of any discomfort. This is a very worthwhile product and has aided in both of my daughters cycling progression.

The front tire is only a couple inches off the ground. They didn't complain about it.

No. If the child is fairly lightweight , you can slightly lift front of bike to turn.

I am 5 ft 1 inch tall, I wonder if this would be a little bit heavy for her to propel? I have the seat on the lowest setting, and I am thinking maybe she could ride this ok, is there a childs sized one out there? Maybe you could put some sort of wooden blocks on the pedals in case her legs are a little too short. Do you want me to measure anything for you? Its sitting here in my garage and would be happy to measure it for you. I really like the bike.Cheers, Cheryl

Very slightly. The rack itself has slots so you can properly set up the rack to be level to the ground, but there is no actual adjustment to move it away from the saddle/post. Both my wife's and my mountain bike saddles/posts are very close to the grab bar of the kid seat. A lot of this has to do with your bike's geometry...

I have not experienced this. Both children, 4yr & 2yr, have jumped and climbed frequently with no tipping. In fact, if set up and used correctly I fail to see how it could possibly tip.

My son is 2.5 and can reach the peddles bit can't turn and peddle. Most of the time he just pushes himself around with his feet. This trike is low to the ground and harder to tip over than regular trikes. It's a very good looking bike we get compliments all the time. I got him the blue. Hope this helps.

The frame seems too small unless he's under 5'5". I tried riding it and my knees bump the handlebars. I can ride it standing up though but not for very long.

Sorry I no longer have my instructions. My son is just over 40 pounds and he rides it easily with what appears to be no strain on the bike itself. Since the concept requires them to use their feet to push and not pedal there is constant weight shift from ground to bike to consider as well. Id tend to agree with the 100 pound comment from Rick above.

yes. anyone over 6 feet might find this bike to be a bit small. in my opinion.

I don't believe it is intend for the child riding this bike to rest their feet. The part of the frame that attaches the rear wheel does have some grip tape on it but it really isn't used by my son in the way he rides the bike. I think there are some videos on the companies website that will help you see how children ride this type of bike. He loves the bike and it is very helpful for his balance. Good luck.

We had an issue with the bike only going in reverse. We had to take the seat off and check the wiring, it was loose. I would suggest doing the same. I eventually sold the 2 I bought for $5 at a garage sale. The back wheel never stayed on. Worst money I ever spent. Good luck and I hope your child does enjoy their toy.

I don't think most balance bikes have a foot rest. I think in fact it would be dangerous as it would prevent the child from being able to stop himself quickly enough, as the feet serve as brakes on a balance bike. My son just picks up his feet when he is coasting. It is not as though a kid young enough to be using a balance bike will be likely to coasting for long enough for that to be a problem. Also, since the feet also serve in the place of pedals, they need to put them down to keep going. I would recommend looking for a video of a kid using a balance bike--it wasn't until I saw some other kids using theirs that I realized how much they can really do on them.

Not unless the teen is short. There is no adjustment in height of the handle bar.

No. Based on what I saw with my two kids, multiple neighborhood kids, and visiting cousins, no kid can "ride" this bike. It is low, awkward, uncomfortable, un-ergonomic, etc. It looks cool, so kids will be excited to sit on it. Aftwr two minutes (MAX) attempting and failing to find a way to have fun with it, they'll get off and never get back on. Buy a different balance bike, or better yet, stick with a good tricycle until it's time for a bike with training wheels. Learning to pedal is more important at this age anyway.

Mine is very tippy. I barely touch it. I would not recommend for people with small children. I will say that mine may be defective because it is so to be that I cannot believe it's supposed to be that way

Your child most likely reach the handlebars but you might need pedal block extenders for the feet.

I don't think that child is the owner of the bike. I'm sure you can ride this bike by having the saddle seat at its lowest. If your 4'11 you should be fine.
