Yes it does have velcro closures. But, I must be honest. I never could figure out how to put in on. Maybe you are smarter than I am.

The product 'fits' the seatbelt. If your child rests their head against it it will slide down the seatbelt or the weak velcro will pop off the belt.

My intention is to put it around her ankle, under her pants. Seems much safer than the neck or arm.

Kelly - didn't think about gearing up my kids bikes with the toe clips. Thanks for the idea.In my case, I have a 6 and 11 year old and both of their bicycles have reflectors that cover the entire pedals. The pedals are made of hard plastic so I think with a drill and a bit of TLC I should be able to fix them on.

There is a shield attached to the pole that attaches the weehoo to the bike and it helps a little. Even with it, the kid accumulates dirt in the seat - although my daughter has never complained about it. On a rainy 6 mile ride, my daughter ended up with a thin film of mud on her face - it was super cute and she felt right in the thick of things. Weehoo does recommend wearing sunglasses and we always follow that.

My nine year old grandson uses one of these and loves it. His momma wants to keep him in a five point harness as long as she can because she feels they are safer than a booster. I have a 7 year old grandson who also uses one. I hear no complaints from either. Britax sells a special part that is used instead of the normal buckle between the legs. It is used when kids grow out of the harness and into the booster. It hooks onto the cars waist seat belt to keep children from submarining (sliding out the bottom under the waist seat belt. It is called the Britax SecureGuard Clip. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004U5NVX4/ref=s9_simh_gw_p75_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=13E3RXPY91QXN71XQYS5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846) My 9 year old grandson isn't looking forward to moving out of his Frontier 90 because he says it is so comfortable.

I'm not sure, but I have to wonder if that would be necessary. For a beginner I think it would be safer and more comfortable for the child to have their feet loose.

There are no places for straps on the pedals and I doubt velcro would hold up. Would suggest the local bike shop as the connecting threads on the pedal bolt appear to be standard.

Soon after posting my previous, my right foot came out during exercise. Oh well, pride cometh before a fall. I have an old pair of beach sandels with double velcro closures. I attached them to the pedals with the pedal velcro across the top of the sole. Works great.

Yes sometimes if your child moves around a lot the Velcro will open and the seat pet comes off

Hello, I just recently had the same thoughts. I skate myself and realized that most falls are small scratches that can be better protected with jeans. My daughter is 4.5 and is also learning but I plan on only using a helmet, jeans and maybe some wrist pads because I feel the wrist would most likely always be unprotected.

I had the same concern until I figured out a way to make it safer. Have baby wear it on his ankle UNDER his one piece romper or pajamas. He can't get at it that way . . .

The velcro tab is to secure the strap to the wrist portion of the strap between sets. It's helpful because the strap doesn't get in the way as you change out weights or do super sets with another exercise.

Velcro. I bought as a gift for daughter in Spain. Right now she just has it as wall decoration for her 14 mo old baby, but appears well made and I was happy with purchase

Hi, I don't recall seeing one since my daughter has the training wheels on hers. Just so you know, I've noticed that it's hard for my daughter to pedal even with the training wheels (I even tried it and found it to be difficult!). I'm not sure if there's any easier way to pedal by loosening a section of the pedal, etc.

I removed the thread and i later removed the attachment to the pedals because it was difficult to remove my feet and place it on the ground when I brake. The spikes on the pedals can be dangerous to the ankle, but it makes for a better grip when climbing heights with the bicycle. To tread the strap through the buckle, just follow the diagram and place it within the holes and fasten the tread to fit. Good luck
