Anyone have issues with kids feet getting hurt by the peddles hitting them or being dragged?

No. When my boy's tired, I told him to rest his legs on top of the front wheel... have his legs crossed when I push the tricycle.

my grandson was not big enough for his feet to drag. He has never gotten hurt with the peddles and this is the second spring/summer he has used it.

My 6 year old son got hit on the bare arm and it did cause a small welt with a bit of a sting. With a jacket, he really did not even feel it. Distance will obviously play a huge role in any pain due to speed of pellet.

I have had kids romping on these without incident. Of course with very small kids, one would expect parental supervision due to the height of the stool

My daughter had just turned 11 when I got it for her and she is almost 12. I would be more worried about really young kids getting hurt on it if they do not have good balance.

No. The foot pegs do not get in the way of kids learning how to balance. It actually helps them. Go to Youtube and you can see videos on this. It is a great little starter bike. You also may want to buy your kid a push scooters (Radio Flyer Shockwave Scooter or any other good brand). It will help your child a lot. My oldest son learned how to ride his bike 6 weeks after riding his Radio Flyer Shockwave Scooter.

My son is about that height and he can touch them but not push them all the way around, but he gets around on it just fine by "walking" it with his feet. He should be able to use the pedals soon.

Hello, I just recently had the same thoughts. I skate myself and realized that most falls are small scratches that can be better protected with jeans. My daughter is 4.5 and is also learning but I plan on only using a helmet, jeans and maybe some wrist pads because I feel the wrist would most likely always be unprotected.

Yes its normal but really annoying. I emailed Radio Flyer's customer service and the ticking is expected if the child rests their feet on the pedals while being pushed.

They are not non-slip but I have NOT had any issues of the kids moving them when feeding the children at my daycare. They range in ages from 11 months to 22 months - 4 of them.

I love mine! I need to tighten the legs every so often but I have an active toddler that climbs all over them :-)

No problems. There are no sharp edges and this has not been a problem with my grandson who is also crawling around, pulling himself up, etc. I continue to be very happy with this item!

No. If I had known there wasn't a place for them to rest their feet I wouldn't have purchased. my 20m old can reach the pedal just doesnt know how to use them so his feet drag on the ground. He loves the trike just I cant seem to get him to use it properly and it doesnt have a foot rest like other models.

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.

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

Yes, I regularly climb up with my son to get him to sleep. Combined we're a little over that. Although I do find the ladder runs hurt my feet a little bit.

Honestly I have not had any issues with my child being cut or hurt at all. She has had it since 9 months old when she was cruzing and holding on to stuff to walk. I however have stubbed my toe on it several times. I guess if you wanted to be safe (I get it I was there too, baby proofing) maybe a thick tape from Home Depot, I know craft stores actually have foam tape. I guess it really depends on your comfort level, yeah I thought the edges were sharp but it really has not been an issue, very much like the toys you see in libraries and doctor offices.
