Will a two year old be able to reach peddles OR would a smaller trike be better?

My son is not yet two and he can reach the pedals just fine. The seat is adjustable and I have it in the most forward position. I think you'll be cool unless your two year old is on the much smaller side. good luck! :-)

Our grandson is 26 months old and is 36" tall. He can reach the pedals with the seat all the way forward but is still trying to get the coordination down.

My two year old grandson is average to tall and can't quite reach the peddles so Dad is going to move the seat to the last position. Hopefully that works.

A two year old should be able to reach the peddles, if not now very shortly. That's where the adult steering handle comes in handy.

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.

Weight has not been an issue for our 2 1/2 years old granddaughter. You can extend the tricycle so we expect to use it for some time. It is very well built and it took time to assemble. German engineering!

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!

It will work as well as any kid's trike could. It has air tires and fenders that will help and keep the gravel from flying up.

I don't believe so. If you're concerned that it's not big enough, I'll tell you my very tall almost 5 year old (he looks 6-7 years old) still rides one without problems. We also have almost 2 year old twins that LOVE this tricycle, so we have 3 total in our house.

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.

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

In my opinion this would probably be better since there are no pedals to 'reach' --- my grandson usually opts for this one (we recently got him the trike) but he doesn't seem to like to work the pedals. Good luck I hope this helps.

It would probably drive up fine if your child is strong enough to pedal it. My little girls had a very difficult time driving this car. It is just so big and heavy. I wouldn't recommend it for a 2 year old.

Probably yes, if she is of normal size. We got one for our not-quite-two grandson so he could be out in the driveway with his three year old twin brothers on their trikes and it was just right for size.

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.

I have a small three year old that has trouble reaching the pedals. It really is a nice, solid, big tricycle that they can ride for ever!

Yes it will go any where the child wants it to go, just like a regular trike but with out peddles. My now 2 year old loves it, and rides around the house like a crazy child. We got it for her a year ago and uses it every day! A great purchase

I think this would work well for a three year old. My grandson is just 2 and his legs don't reach the pedals yet. He loves it anyway.

My grandson turned 2 when I bought him the trike. Still has a little bit of a problem with the pedals, so I would recommend it for those over 2. Maybe 2/12 -3

I have a 36" tall 2 year old, she can ride the balance bike like a pro. My 4 year old can still ride it even though its to small for him so I figure she will have a good year or two she can ride it.

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