Is this a good bike for adding a front or rear child seat (for a 1-year old)?

I'm not sure in terms of attachment but in terms of weight I think the frame is strong enough to hold the weight of a 1-yr old. I have front and back baskets attached and use them for groceries which when filled would weigh more than a 1-yr old.

Yes. I have "Yepp" child seat on front of my bicycle since my son was a year old. It has been working perfect for both my son and I. He is now turning 2 and still loves and enjoying to ride. We added basket on the rear rack and going grocery shopping and get a lots of compliment about the bike itself and also with child seat. Hope this will help.

I never tried a front carrier. The back seat type (Thule Ridealong) works with some effort adjusting the carrier's downtube bracket. Check your seat manufacturer. We only use the one. I don't see why you couldn't make the front type work too.

I think your granddaughter would benefit from a smaller bike. She probably would not be able to ride safely on this one yet.

I wouldn't go much below 1 year... The straps go pretty high and it's not really meant for infants. We took our daughter at maybe 10 months on a really slow ride around the block and she was slumping down and not very comfortable. We waited a few months and she loves it.

It may be. If heseems to have good motor skills it should be ok. My three year old grandson seems to prefer his tricycle at present. He is over thirty some pounds. He will probably use this bike before he turns four.

It's a great bike. I purchased this bike for my son's 7th birthday and it fit him like a glove. He was a couple of inches taller than your son at the time, but your son should have no problems with it. It's actually a very well constructed bike (which is why you're considering this one from the start). After 2 1/2 years and a few seat and handlebar adjustments, he still rides it.

I put my 1 year old in it. He loves it. It's a smooth ride. I think a 7-9 month old would be fine.

This is an 'older' child bike. If your kiddo needs training wheels, I would personally go with a smaller frame and one with wheels included. :) This is more of a bike for a kiddo who has been riding without training wheels. :)

Yes. I would say this bike was perfect for my daughter. She was 2 years old when I got it. She couldn't quite peddle and I knew that would happen. Thats why I went with this bike because of the handle. She learned how to peddle and dont want any more help but i still have the bar just for when we come to a hill. She is almost 4 now and I would say its still in perfect shape.

I think so. Even if it's a bit early, the bike is easily adjustable, so the child can easily grow into it.

Hi, my daughter was 2.5 yes old when we got her this bike and she is still using it at 3 yrs old. This is a great starter bike, if your daughter has been riding bikes for a while, I'd go with a 16" instead.

It comes mostly assembled. You have to put the wheels, handlebars, pedals, seats, etc on but all that is not too difficult. I don't think this bike will fit any child seat without some specialized fittings. We tried the Bell Cocoon and it didnt have any clearance over the rear wheel.

Bought it for my son (9) and daughter (13) it is a perfect bike for someone just learning to ride. I would recommend to anyone interested in purchasing a bike. Its easy to put together, the only assembly required was installing handlebars and adding gas and oil which does not have to be mixed.

Hi Jennifer, I purchased this bike for my 6 year old son this year, it is perfect for him... He had not had a bike before, so this was his first bike... In a week he was using the gears and he absolutely loves it. A great buy. I did add a bike stand to the purchase, he uses that well. Hope this helps. Paul

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.

This bike may be the answer to your question. I bought one for my 9yo grandson and he loves it. It come partially assembled and the rest was pretty easy to finish ... did it in less than an hour. The seat and handle bars are both adjustable to fit the childs height and leg length. When in use the child has to be carefull of the derailer at the rear sprocket that changes the gears, because once damaged it is very hard to repair. I recommend it to any child big enough to ride it.

I bought this bike for my 3 1/2 yr old grandson for Christmas 2012. He rode it this past summer but outgrew it quite quickly. This year I am getting him an 18 inch bike, with room to grow ;0)

Maybe, depending on the construction of the toddler seat. There are no fenders on this bike; so that may be an issue. Otherwise, I could see on attached as the bike is normally constructed.
