Can this be used in conjunction with training wheels? My son is two and still needs the training wheels, but I would like to have a handle to help push him along when needed without having to bend over to do so.

I don't think there is enough thread left on the bolt that the training wheels are mounted on. So probably one or the other.

This bike will give your son something to grow with. You can always put training wheels on it and then take them off when he's ready. I have a 10 year old and 8 year old that love riding this bike, but they would've been fine with its size at 6 as well.

My daughter is 3 and had no issue. The handle adjusts. Unless the 2 year old is very small it should be fine. Like the previous poster I have not seen the other one. However, if it holds up to my daughters wear and tear. I would think it would be fine. I am 5' tall and can push it without bending if I adjust the handle to the highest position

I actually use my 3 wheeled jogging stroller to train with. This is just a great all-terrain stroller. We take this everywhere. My 2.5 year old is tall and she's fine in it. We love it.

I bought this bike for my then 7 y/o daughter. She had moved up from a bike that required training wheels. I would recommend a smaller bike that comes with training wheels before purchasing this one.

Hi, I think the child needs to be attempting to walk. It greatly helps with them taking their first few steps and even though the wheels are slow turning, they would need to push forward and have good balance so as not to fall over & hurt themselves. My son used it from around 11 months as he was starting to walk. He still loves it at 26 months! A great toddler toy!

Nope! No need for training wheels! It attaches to a bike and the child still pedals, but doesn't have to worry about tipping over.

If you want her to use it as a push walker, I think the large one would be better. We got the small one for our 1 year old and it's too large for him to ride, and the handle was too short for him to use it effectively as a walker.

Yes I would recommend it. I gave it to my five year old and he transferred his skills to a regular bike without training wheels in 2 months!

I would assume so, as training wheels can be added to pretty much any bike - just a matter of adjusting them after installing on the axle. I got this bike as the next step in moving daughter off of training wheels, so I'm going to try the balance buddy instead with it.

Training wheels would be perfect for your daughter. You might want to check with Schwinn if you can purchase training wheels. You might want to check with a bike shop if they can add the attachments for training wheels. Other brands might have training wheels as an option. Good Luck.

My son is two and he loves it. I do wish it went a little faster. But it's great it had training wheels. Till he gets use to riding it. Just the bike and charger. Are in the box

I am not quite sure. The training wheels act as a stand. Once they are off, I haven't figured out my options. Sorry.

I think if he's a young 2 year old then it is probably too big but if he's 2.5 almost 3 then it should be fine. It takes some coordination and I'm not sure a young 2 year old would know how to work/control the handles.

when I was training my older kids (6 and 7 years old), I used training wheels and after moving the wheels up as high as they could go, i proceeded with taking one training wheel off. that worked for us

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

No way around it, you just have to be careful. And I've only been pushing him around in our home, but i'm looking forward to taking him outside once our weather breaks. He loves it and tries to peddle by himself, but you always have control because of the handle. Good Luck!
