Can a small 2 1/2 year old use this - reach the pedals?

Yes. We purchases this product when our grandson was 2 and he was able to reach the pedals. He is now 4 and still loves it.

I should think so. My daughter was riding her brothers, so we bought her one for her 3rd birthday. She loves it!

If the toddler's feet can reach the ground then YES they can. If they are not tall enough then they can't reach the ground or the pedals. My son is 33" tall and his feet partially touch the ground. Hope this helps!

Depends on size of child. If he can reach the pedals, I say buy the Smart Cycle. I purchased it for the children in my daycare and my youngest son. All the children loved it!

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.

Yes. You have an option to lock the pedals or just leave it turning while the child pushes with his feet. Hope this helps.

We got it for our 2 year old, she loves it and still uses it. It goes slower, so I imagine that you could use it for younger - they just may have a hard time holding down the button to make it go.

My daughter is 6 and a half years and still reaching the pedals can not touch the floor level with the feet. if the seat was less high it can be easier, I thought adjusting the seat with another style to reduce the height

I bought it for my daughter at 2 years old as well and she is tall for her age. She can reach the pedals but if the pedal is fully extended she can't reach it enough to get a good push on it. She loves it though...she scoots around on it just putting her feet on the ground. I would think she would be able to ride it until 5 or so. I actually had to buy a new one for her because she left the trike behind our F-150 truck and lets just say that didn't end well for the bike! So Santa "fixed" the bike and will be bringing it back!

My grandson is 2 also and he learned quickly how to operate the pedal but naturally is not able to steer yet so; we make sure he has plenty of 'straight ahead" room. We also like that you can regulate the speed it is able to go; we put it on the low setting until he grows.

My son was two when we got it for him and he couldnt reach The pedals so we put a cushion behind his back and he was able to ride it.

This was perfect for my grandson who used it until about 4 1/2 and then moved easily to a small two wheeler with training wheels. If your daughter is petite, she may have an issue reaching pedals on a trike. There is a little learning curve with toddlers being able to move in a forward direction on the scoot-about...my grandson found it easier to push backwards, at first.

My son is 37" and still can't reach the pedals, even with the blocks on the pedals. I'm hoping he will reach them next summer when he's 3.

I believe it may be a little too big for a 1 year old. He would probably not be able to reach the pedals or drums from the seat.

Hello Sai. There is no foot rest. Feet hang in the air. Kids younger than 18 month can't even touch pedals. You can lock pedals but chances are that your child will not even reach them until he/she is 18 or 24 month. This is still a very good product if all parts are there.

This car is so cute! We bought it for our granddaughter when she was barely 2 and it took a while for her to learn to pedal even on a flat surface. I think it would be difficult if the incline is steep, but little ones learn quickly.

Yes, a two year old can peddle while you push at your own pace. You can disengage the peddle, but it will stop on its own if the toddler just rest their feet on the peddle.

Yes you can. We had a big two year old and smart 3 year old so we could not use foot pedal. Hand control worked perfectly for us.
