Can younger toddlers scoot with this trike? I'm looking for a 3in1 trike that the toddler can scoot or parents can push.

It's not really designed to be scooted. I think it would be too heavy. For a toddler the pedals can be locked & used as a foot rest while the parent pushes. Our grandson loved it because he could keep up with his sister on a trike.

It depends on the child's size. I suppose if their legs are long enough, they could scoot themselves. Parents can definitely push.

The one-year-old who has this simply loves it. He is on it a lot. His parents like it also.

Yes. My child was the same size of yours and she can play with this tricycle.

You could, but I will not recommend it. The issue with older kids is that the seat end up being too low and the leg room is small. My son is a little over 3 and he takes small steps to push himself and I think he will like to go faster (take bigger steps). But, he loves it.

my experience has been with my petit mother, who loves it. However, It is possible that a heavier person could try tp ;ift the front wheel off the ground to get over a curb or somesuch, and then press too vigorously on the handles, which could send the three wheeler forward quickly.

I bought it for a 3-year-old last summer! I think a step before learning to ride bicycles. Kids get so many mobility toys so quickly these days so I think 3/4 years old makes sense. I went for pedal and not with motor because I also believe kids should be using their legs to power toys and not get lazy with more expensive electric tractors etc

My son is almost three now, and started fighting for it with his older brother half a year ago. Perhaps four months ago the older brother got a larger scooter(from same company), and the mini kick is now his. So I think he can usefrom age two-and-a-half.

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.

Yes. Our 3 year old used it. She is almost 4 and has moved up to the ones with 2 wheels.

I purchased it for my grandson's first birthday last July. We just celebrated his 2nd birthday and he still loves it. He can't yet reach pedals for tricycle so this works out great!

They can push with their feet. My son is almost three I got this for him last year because he rides them at daycare. He still uses his feet instead of the steering wheel. He loves this toy!!!

I suppose if your toddler is tall. My daughter is a little over 3 feet and was just recently able to get her feet to do the rotation with the pedals a couple months ago. I think it would be possible.

Hi, this scooter is suitable for the height. my daughter is around 4 years age and when I bought it she had 38" tall and now she has also about 40", but it still works. I concern the age of 2 1/2 because it's designed for 3-5 years, Micro has lower age type but I think it's not worthy now for you. i recommond you can start from this mini micro for your 4 years child and cultivate the interest for your 2 1/2 child, when the younger child takes over it then you can but 5-12years type(maxi micro) for your older child. Kind regards!Jimmy

Our daughter just turned 1 and she loves being pushed around on it. She can't reach the pedals. But she can lean forward and get he hands on the handle bars if we don't have the shoulder straps on too tight. Even when she was more wobbly and we had the shoulder straps tight, she could just sit there and kick her feet and ride. Like a stroller at that age, but more fun :) hope that helps.

I never owned the Radio Flyer Deluxe Steer and Stroll Trike, but from looking at it as compared to the 4-in-1 it looks like the differences are the 4-in-1 has a 3 point harness and removable wrap around tray. It all depends on how much control you feel your toddler has sitting upright and holding on. If you feel your toddler has already passed the stage where they would have any use for that than you could really choose either, it's just your preference. If it were me and I knew I was planning on having another child than I would get the 4 in 1, but as I said before if your toddler has complete control of his upper body sitting in the seat then it is really just which ever you prefer. It is a really solid trike and I have been very happy with it.

I'd say ideal for 1 year old with all pieces, but some pieces will need to be removed as kids get older in order for them to fit. My 4 year old likes to use it still, but only without the child restraints and the umbrella. (it is basically a trike with a parent handle at this point)

YES! We have a 5,3 &1 year old, our 5 year old rides in the front when we walk home from school. Even with all 3 kiddos the stroller is still fairly easy to push and steer. I love this stroller!

Depends on how tall the 2 year old is and how much coordination he/ she has. I gave this to my granddaughter who was a small 5 yr. old and she has a wonderful time with it. I gave my 3 yr old granddaughter a smaller scooter with 2 wheels in the back. The front wheels work better as the back wheels get in the way when pushing, but I think the shorter handle works better for the 3 yr. old and she has learned to negotiate the back wheels. The best thing about the Maxi Micro is the way it corners. So the 2 yr. old may be able to handle it but may take a while to get used to it. I would wait until the child is older or go with a smaller scooter.
