I have a special needs son who is turning 4 but is very small/short-height of an average 2yr. Would he be able to reach peddles? Does it tip easily?

I actually purchased this for my two year old and it fits him perfectly. It's very solid and wide so very difficult to tip. We absolutely love it.

My two year Grandson can reach the peddles just fine. As the child grows you can adjust the seat farther back from the peddles to make room for their growing legs. This bike does not tip easily. Very sturdy bike. I have four grandchildren ages, 1,2,3,and 4. All four of them love the bike.

It was very stable, so I do not think it would tip. I the seat adjusted so that should work for you also. It is a beauty, the only problem we had was the seat cracked because the grandkids where very ruff on it even so it held on for several years and the trik still looked great. So yes I think it would work for your son very well.

My grandson is 2 years old and of average height. We have the seat adjusted al the way up and he reaches the peddles fine.

It does not tip over easily. The wheels are spaced out be very sturdy. The seat adjusts closer to the handlebars and even they adjust up and down. I think it would work, especially if the seat is all the way forward. I highly recommend it. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It's very well made.

My son is 2.5 and can reach the peddles bit can't turn and peddle. Most of the time he just pushes himself around with his feet. This trike is low to the ground and harder to tip over than regular trikes. It's a very good looking bike we get compliments all the time. I got him the blue. Hope this helps.

Mine is 38" tall and he can reach the pedals just fine. But I'd say if your child is less than 36" tall he/she may have some trouble reaching.

Yes. We got this for my grandson at 11 months. He could ride it then. After he turns 2, I imagine it will be getting small for him.

Unfortunately no, however, any child able to reach the pedals will be able to climb in and out with ease. Just expect the usual tumbles.

I would say the base is wide enough the child would need to lean very far off to one side to make it even remotely possible to tip. It is very low to the ground and wide.

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 is almost 4 and 42 inches tall. He has no problem reaching the pedals.

Its not just about size but about the ability to follow directions and impulse control. Like I stated in my review it tips easily. In terms of your son's size it should be ok.

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 would say they are easily tipped over by a 2 year old climbing on them. If they are just sitting it's one thing but if they are going to climb on them then they will tip over.

No this bike is for older children. I doubt a 4 yr olds feet could reach both peddles at the same time. It haD 20 inch wheels.

It would depend on how tall and coordinated he was. The handles do not adjust to height. For the tricks you can do with this bike, it might be better if he was a little older.

My son is 4 months/ 18lbs and 25 inches. His feet hang off the end and we have to use it on 6 (the highest setting). It still moves smoothly but it's MUCH slower than it was when he was small.

I haven't actually tried it- but I don't think it would be a problem. It's a pretty stable thing. My son never really peddles and he leans all different ways and it doesn't really impede my ability to balance and ride.

Yes. My son is 3'6'' and 3 years old and is tall enough to reach the pedals fine.

I think so. My daughter is 36 inches and she has to sit toward the front of the seat to reach the peddles.

The bike does tip a little bit, but not to the point of discomfort. It's just enough to tip the wheel up, so only the back wheel is on the ground. We have used this now for almost 2 years and it's totally worth the investment. My daughter loved it. She's now ready to ride on her own at age 5, but this helped make her feel like a big kid until now.
