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.

Hello! I do think tipping would be possible, but it's a very short window of time before that kiddo will be able to run down the hallway with it! You could always just bring it out occasionally until the wobbles turn to real steps, it's just a matter of time. I bought this for a gift, but our son had one 26 years ago and it was a great addition to the fun and colorful toddler toys.Merry Christmas to you and your family!

No, unfortunately not. It sits low enough though to allow for the child to push the bike with his or her feet though until they learn to peddle. It's an awesome little tricycle though. I wish I had one this nice when I was a kid... Best of luck with what ever bike you decide on.

I bought this for my son on his forth birthday (Approx 42lbs and 42in). It is perfect for him. He still has room to grow with it and he absolutely loves riding it. His two year old brother is too small for it so he hooks up his wagon to it and pulls him around that way. The best way to tell if they can handle it is if they are already pedaling on their own. If they are then its probably perfect.

Not at all. My son is an average sized 2 year old and he is fine. I was afraid that he might get his foot stuck under the rocking part of the rocking horse, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. I wish it could hold more weight so I can sit on it. We have it on an oriental rug so we just need to give him some room when he rocks on it because he likes to rock it pretty vigorously so it slides a little, but not dangerously - he holds onto the handles.

I bought this for my granddaughter for her first birthday, she was not walking yet and they do not live close but once she did start walking at about 13 months and still, it is one of her favoritie toys but....I am not sure if it ever tipped over when she was first walking. She is kind of tough so I don't think it would have bothered her. sorry if I am not answering your question.

Yes. but not for very long, if he's growing fast. Our grandson is 3 as well but on the shorter side. We didn't extend fully so he has some room. best of all, I like that he can easily use this for a while and make the transition to a larger bike or big wheels. It's safe and low to the grown a great early bike.

I'm not an expert. You probably should contact the makers. But for me I have a standard hybrid bike ( mountain/street) and I have no issues. Just be sure NEVER leave the child alone. The bike will tip over. You must be there and hold the bike right after you lift you child into it. I brought it for my younger son but I've had older kids on it. I've also purchased handlebars that can mount on the back of my seat so they can hold on.

My grandson was 18 mo when we got this for him and he's a shorty. :-). It's very very sturdy and something he'll use for a while. You're 15 mo old should be fine. I didn't notice that the chairs would tip easily and my daughter hasn't said anything to that effect either.

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.

Yes, in fact my daughter isn't quite tall enough to be able to peddle and she still enjoys riding along. They can peddle as much or as little as they want.

Yes I believe so. My son was 16 and is special ed He was probably that height he has let smaller children ride too. Adjustable

Depends on the size of the three year old...I would say yes to the majority of three year olds, but reaching the peddles is the trick....If you child is 37ish inches or taller they should be fine. :)

It's pretty stable, but they can tip it. I don't think that ever happened with my grandson, though. He LOVED it and got lots of enjoyment out of it.

We gave it to my grandson about a month ago and he (3yrs old and big for his age) and his 1yr old brother have been in it and it showed no signs of tipping.We had a tough time putting it together but once it was together right it seems very sturdy.

Hello Linda, I bought this for my 2 year old, the pedals were a little hard for him to reach. We moved the seat up as far as it would go and ended up also making some pedal blocks. My son is very tall for a 2 year old and he couldn't reach the pedals. The bike is awesome though and he loves it! Kristen

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.
