Is there a place where the child can rest their feet if the toddler is still learning to pedal? I have a very tall 2 y/o who will fit on this, but still pushes around toys with her feet. Thanks.

Our grandson is at the same point of usage and there is nothing there that interferes with that.

No, the tricycle doesn't have a resting platform for the feet. One possible solution, as your child is growing into the size of the bike and learning to pedal, is to attach pedal blocks to the bike. These can be purchased from Amazon, as well as most sporting goods stores.

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.

There is no resting spot but my child was 2 yes old when we got it couldn't quite reach the peddles but loved pushing it with his feet. They'll grow into it and it's a great bike we get complements every time we are out.

No there isn't. We got this for our 2.5 yr old grandson who is on the small side. He could just reach the pedals when he got it and learned quickly to pedal and steer. Now at 3 he's a pro. He loves his bike. It's very well made and will last. Maybe wait until your son is just a little bit older.

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

I bought this for my 3 year old grandson and put blocks on the pedals (and he is a bit tall for his age). So it would depend how long his legs are. Best to find one in a store and sit him on it (I did) to see if pedal blocks would work.

When you're pushing the trike the pedals don't move, so they can rest on the pedals. My daughter pushes a little and then rests a little.

Hi Brett,There is a cog mechanism, when pushed in, that locks so the child can pedal. If you pull it out, it spins freely so you push the child around in a "stroller-like" fashion.

It's not really designed to be scooted. I think it would be too heavy. For a toddler the pedals can be locked & used as a foot rest while the parent pushes. Our grandson loved it because he could keep up with his sister on a trike.

No foot rest, but the pedels have a "switch" where they will not turn when the parent is pushing. If your child can reach the pedels thenthey can rest thier feet there.

Yes, essentially . . . Your child can rest his/her feet on them and the pedals will remain still while the front wheel continues to rotate. In other words, the pedals are not locked to the rotation of the front wheel. Does that make sense?

It Is possible but never happened. The foot rest is comfy for them so it isn't a natural tendancy to put your foot there. My oldest is almost 6 and still rides some. Her legs and feet are never an issue. She is very tall for her age. We love the stroller.

No it is not suitable for a toddler to push. It's just too small and short for that purpose.

We bought this toy for our grandson, at around 18 months of age. He enjoyed straddling it inside and, as he grew, could use the pedals to power himself. If it's used outside, I would still supervise your child, as sometimes little people become distracted, looking all around and can tip themselves over. Their feet will be the brakes, so supervision is also needed where stopping is critical, or on downward slopes. Our grandson's favourite part of this toy is the 'trunk', where he can stow a stuffed animal, toy, or other gadgets. Radio Flyer is a great brand, and we have bought other pieces as gifts. I think you'll be pleased if you go ahead with this purchase. We bought this toy for our grandson, at around 18 months of age.

The length of the child's leg is the real real limiting factor. My grandson rode his at two and a half with pedals that I made myself out of scrap 2x4 wood blocks. By three the blocks were off and he is still riding it. In short form, the answer is about three years old if the child is average height.

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years

I'm not really sure size wise but my two year old is pretty petite and she could reach the pedals with the seat at the lowest setting. The nice part is, the seat adjusts higher so you can get a few years of use out of it. Hope that helps!

They have one that has a foot rest for the child, get that one maybe. My granddaughter loves her trike but her legs are to short to stay on the pedals as a 14 month old and she is to young to know not to keep putting her feet on the wheel. Just to let you know we still use it, her feet can not really get hurt with closed in shoes, because everything is plastic. It will just get a light color shoe really dirty looking. My husband is working on something to hang over the main bar for her feet to be placed in so her feet have some other place to rest other than the wheel. Just a Grandparent loving time with the little one

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.
