My son is 2 and 35" tall. Will he be able to reach the pedals if a pillow or something is set behind him? The other vehicles seem to be too small...

Definitely. My daughter is 37 inches and she reaches the pedal just fine. We bought this so she wouldn't grow out of it so fast like the other ones. She is even able to tote her 9 year old sister around with no problems as well. The product is worth it.

The box says the minimum age is three and I believe that is a good age for this vehicle. You could try the pillow behind him, but he will do much better with another years maturity.

Yes. We r using a pillow for our 3 yr old. A piece foam would be recommended to avoid sliding

I would think that would work because the area under the steering column in this particular power wheel model is wide open allowing him to slide up as far as he should need to to reach the pedal. Best of luck to you and yours! I hope he enjoys his dune racer as much as my son enjoys his! Cheers

I have three kids, 2, 4 and 6. They all love it, but the 2 yr old doesn't really drive it, just rides as a passenger. You could put a pillow to move him up closer, but honestly, my 2 year old doesn't really understand the steering or forward and reverse that well and the few times he tried to drive himself, we had to keep steering him or changing the gear. That said, if you get it now, he will have years of fun with it. My 6 year old is 49" tall and still loves riding it!

My daughter is 6 and a half years and still reaching the pedals can not touch the floor level with the feet. if the seat was less high it can be easier, I thought adjusting the seat with another style to reduce the height

The pedal car I own is for my six yo grandson and with the seat adjustedIn the last position it works well for his reach. However , it could be adjusted forward quite a bit and probably work very well for three yo. My grandson loves it!

I think you should be fine unless your son has very short legs. I have this bike and the mini glider. The mini glider is more appropriate for a 2-3 year old.

Our almost 4 year old can reach the handle bars just fine. For now she reaches the pedals...but not enough to actually pedal. She still enjoys the ride and as fast as she seems to grow, it will be great fit in a few months time!

My son will be 4 in August and is 41 inches and he can just barely touch the pedals. Anything shorter probably is no good.

I don't think there will be any problem for a younger child to fit and enjoy the ride. The seat straps in similar to a car seat and the feet strap into the pedals and the seat distance from the pedals can be adjusted. I would be sure your little one is able to wear a helmet and sunglasses and doesn't move around a lot while riding as it makes it harder to balance. If you have any doubts, call the guys at Weehoo 866-297-6049; they are super friendly and helpful!

Hello Linda, I bought this for my 2 year old, the pedals were a little hard for him to reach. We moved the seat up as far as it would go and ended up also making some pedal blocks. My son is very tall for a 2 year old and he couldn't reach the pedals. The bike is awesome though and he loves it! Kristen

My grandson who turned 2 in May but still can't quite reach the pedals even putting on the extenders. He is 32" tall. He sits & scoots around but it will be a few months before he can manipulate the pedals. It's a tad bulky for little toddlers! Hope this helped. Moral of this....have to sometimes see what we are buying...easy to order online but had I seen this first I would've waited until he was 3!!

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years

It would probably drive up fine if your child is strong enough to pedal it. My little girls had a very difficult time driving this car. It is just so big and heavy. I wouldn't recommend it for a 2 year old.

I purchased the bike for my daughter who is 53" tall. She rides with the seat on the lowest possible position, and she is able to comfortably reach the pedals at this height. I'm afraid that a 48" tall child won't be able to reach the pedals quite yet.

Hi. I'm 5'6" and adjusted the seat to its highest setting for your question. I can still reach the pedals but it is a stretch for me. Hope that helps.

No, it would be perfect for your son. My son is 36 inches & 30 lbs; he has no trouble reaching the pedal. And can easily get in & out of it by himself.

I can't say a specific max height but my guy is in the 50th percentile at 2.5 and he is still a bit too short for this. I will say that he struggles to steer it a bit. It's hard to turn. This maybe part of the training features?? We aren't too bothered by it but we also have a high quality balance bike that his older brother just gave up (cause he's riding a pedal bike like a pro!)

Yes. We purchases this product when our grandson was 2 and he was able to reach the pedals. He is now 4 and still loves it.

I bought this for my 2-year old. The seat definitely goes down low enough for two-year old height. She loves putting things in the little pouch in front and LOVES the water bottle. Developmentally, she wasn't quite ready for a bike right at 2. She's slowly learned to peddle and propel herself a little, but at 2.5, she's still not strong enough to peddle unless we are on even pavement. We use the back handle a lot. I'm hoping this bike will grow with her for a couple more years. It's a solid choice, but you might also consider a balance bike (without peddles) to ease your child into the world of bicycles.
