Can the child steer using the handle bars when the parent push bar is engaged?

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

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

Sorry it has taken me forever to answer your question. No, the handle bars do not adjust and they're really stiff and hard to steer for kids. It's not a good bike. Don't buy it. It's cute, but not a good first attempt by Radio Flyer.

Yes handle bars are adjustable to 3 different settings, good for enough for 4 year old.

I wouldn't suggest doing that. The bike is clumsy and wobbly, real hard to just push to move it out of the driveway when he leaves it laying there because it doesn't provide good balance when not actually sitting on the seat and holding both ends of the handle bars. And even when sitting on the seat the child has to work to balance it, which makes the transition to riding a regular bike easy because they've tackled this training tool. I would definitely only use this training tool as it was designed for.

Yes, the kid is able to use their brake. My daughter has done this to me and I just wondered why it was harder to pull her along all of a sudden. She thought it was funny and hasn't done it since!

No, not with the parent handlebar but this bar can be installed and unattached very easily.

I would suggest you to skip this idea. Training or supporting wheels are not helpful at all. The problem is, that the kids will loose theire sense for balance by using this wheels and need more time to bike "free". Try to train first without the pedals (support by pushing), so your child learns to balance the bike with the handlebar and the body. If the bike was used before as a training bike without the pedals the know it already. The kids learn "pedaling" quite fast.

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 think it's possible, the seat and handle bars are adjustable. The hardest part for my daughter is getting the pedals aligned to start her forward motion. I generally have to provide a little push to get her started.

I think it works like all the others. Instead of pushing forward, you push backward and turn the handlebars. The turning radius is limited. I think this is to add to stability. You can still turn in tight places by alternately moving back and forth or getting off and repositioning it by hand. It isn't very heavy.

My husband uses it when we bike with our daughter. It is never used to push. It works wonderfully when we bike with her.

No handle for parents to push, just the short one for the toddler. The handle does come out if you try to lift the sit n scoot. My grandson loves it!

No, but if you hook it up the way it is suppose to the handle bars will move when you pedal. However there is a way to not connect the handle bars to the pedals.

Yes. If the child is not pedaling, the bike still moves along. It definitely helps with give some momentum when they pedal but the bike moves along if they get tired.

Hi Brett,There is a cog mechanism, when pushed in, that locks so the child can pedal. If you pull it out, it spins freely so you push the child around in a "stroller-like" fashion.

I don't think you could. They can still turn the handlebars, and there's a little give in the steering, so it would be hard to do two at once. Every so often my son pulls the handlebars and goes veering off while I'm pushing him (usually into my husband).
