Does this have a pedal so that an older kid can ride without the push handle ?

No pedal. The bottom of the car itself is solid, so the kids feet do not go through the bottom. It is propelled forward by pushing on the black handle on the back only.

I don't think so. My 3 year old grandaughter was just old enough to pedal it. I'd stick to some thing that glides by their feet on the floor.

You could but you would have make sure you have the right kind. The bike does not have the usual frame shape so may not compatible with the most common type of training wheels. More importantly, though, this bike is specifically designed to help teach how to ride without training wheels. The kid learns balance first without any pedals, gears or chain in the way. You then add those later (they are included). Hope that helps!

Power wheels have a longer charge and more power. Yes there are pedals that the child could use as well as a remote control that an adult can use to control it. I recommend this for under three.

It does not, but you CAN add them, there is a place for it. However, I wouldn't let my child that couldn't ride a bike use it because it could be dangerous. My son got this when he was 6 and could ride a bike well without training wheels, but almost crashed this the first couple times on it adjusting to the speed of driving it.

I purchased the Schwinn low rider for my 3 year old son, and it's a little hard for him to pedal without a little push. However this is his first tricycle, and he has to build up his leg strength. So I guess it depends if it's for a new rider or child that's already use to riding.

No, but it has a strap and works well. you will need to replace the pedals for the clips.

Yes, it can be used without the pedal. I've never even bothered with the foot pedal. I hope this helps!

Yes I believe that this model can be put together so that your son will be able to pedal without a problem. I was having the same problem purchasing a bike that my nephew could pedal and He just loves this Radio Flyer Grow N Go Flyer. And as he grows so can it.

There are no pedals. My little guy will turn 4 next week. He uses his feet to move it around his sand pit. It really isn't a toy that you would ride around the driveway. I think it is more of a toy to dig and play in some sort of material such as pebbles, dirt, or sand.

I don't know about the pedals, but I can tell you we have been very unhappy with the product. We got it for our 2 year-old for Christmas last year. We could tell that it was a mistake as soon as we took it out o the box. As we assembled it we found that the parts didn't go together well and that it was quite rickety. Our son has never taken to it. It leans over when you push it. Also, be aware that there is no way for an adult to steer it while pushing it, unlike some other similar tricycles. I would keep looking for other products if I were you. good luck.

No, it doesn't. My two year old still loves pushing it around though. He doesn't play with it as much as he does the few that he has that do move with a touch of a button however.

No. My 11 month old grandson is just starting to walk and he can push it with no problem.

I'm not aware of issues with the push handle.My son is too happy someone is pushing him instead of him trying to pedal. LOL

Yes. There is some assembly required - you have to snap the push handle/back rest into place. Seems like I remember having to put some of the decals on it too. Our one year old (at the time) grandson, loved being able to walk behind and push it. Now at 20 months, he sits on it and rides everywhere. Only drawback is that the steering wheel rotates, but does not change direction of the wheels. They are in a fixed (roll straight) position.

Yes, this bike has brakes. It's the type where the child pushes backwards on the pedal to stop (not hand brakes).

No, it is easy to play and my girls like to use it as an alternative to their baby grand sometimes. Only problem, is no foot pedals.
