I see the recommend age starts at 2, would a younger child be able to still use this if he is over 30lbs and 35 inches? We have a VERY big 1yr old.

The child is strapped in but not intensely. I'd say it may be OK if your child can sit up straight and not slouch too much. In general, the trailers aren't much better either, the only other option I'd recommend for a 1-year-old is a seat mounted on the handlebars.

I think it should be safe for 1yr old. My only concern would be to make sure that kid's feet do not touch the ground while riding. Normally , the legs would be secured on the pedals, and older kids would understand not to touch the ground. However, 1yr old probably won't be able to reach the ground even if s/he tries.

While my children were not that young when we purchased it, we have had my niece in it when she was 15 months. The seat belts are adjustable and I would think the only issue would be to make sure their necks are strong enough to handle a little juggling. Even with my four year old in it, the attachments tends to sway back in forth at times. Honestly, one of the best purchases for us though. Best of luck!

I don't think there will be any problem for a younger child to fit and enjoy the ride. The seat straps in similar to a car seat and the feet strap into the pedals and the seat distance from the pedals can be adjusted. I would be sure your little one is able to wear a helmet and sunglasses and doesn't move around a lot while riding as it makes it harder to balance. If you have any doubts, call the guys at Weehoo 866-297-6049; they are super friendly and helpful!

I called weeehoooo about this. My son can't reach the pedals at 18 mths. They recommended moving the seat all the way back so the pedals wouldn't hit his feet and of course using a helmet. Call them with any questions they are super nice

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, but to each their own. Just as Triplethreat suggested, it is about the ability to understand...occasionally I have to tell my 3 year old (that is 32 lbs) to be still. If she gets into the ride and starts to lean, it throws off my balance and can be quite dangerous going around turns (especially passing others on the trails.) Also, keep in mind other factors, such as things being kicked, or splashed up in their face, and them not being able to tell you. Just my opinion, but I would get an inclosed one until your kiddo is a bit older.

Maybe, but the main thing is ability to understand and follow directions. You can try w a 1 year old, but be careful because the kids can impact your balance. A 3 year old can understand that, can help pedal, and can make you feel more comfortable.

My daughter is now 9 months old and she's still using it however, I can't see her using it past 10 months. A bigger baby probably would outgrow this earlier.

Our son is 7 months and we still use it. I am sure he will grow out of it in another month or so.

I would be careful with a 2 year old. How much longer before he turns 3? My children were 6 and 4 so my youngest is slightly older but not much. My youngest likes to jump off of EVERYTHING so he loves it!

My 2 year old just started being able to get on it himself and actually use it. My 5 1/2 year old is very tall and she just recently said she was getting too big for it. I would say he will be able to use is for a couple years and really like riding it around.

VERY sturdy, 1 year is the perfect age to start using it. My 2.5 year old has used it from 12 mo until now and it's getting too small.

The recommended age is 3+. I bought it for my 5 year old and she loved it from the start. My son didn't enjoy until he was 2.5. There are weight restrictions 100 pounds per user.

My 7 year old uses ours, she's a big girl for her age. But I don't think she'll get very many years of use out of it. Check out the measurements. I think somewhere it says how many inches tall everything is. It's smaller than I expected.

You should be able to use this for a new born. I didn't use it until my baby was 2 months old but he was a preemie and born at 4lbs. He was too small. I used it when he was about 6 or 7 pounds and it worked great.
635473
Yes, i have a four year old that uses it. As long as your child is 40lbs and 40" tall, you should be fine.

My son was 28 inches and 18 lbs at 6 months and it still worked for me, and I recently stopped using it because he is now 34 inches and almost 25 lbs and sitting on his own so I believe once ur child starts sitting on his own u can use this product :) hope I helped you without being too descriptive haha

I still use it with my 1 year old who is approx. 30 pounds. the website says it goes up to approx 55 pounds

I think it's up to 30 # but you are only supposed to us it until they are walking. So you will probably only get a few months use out of it. It is a great way to keep baby interested, busy, and build leg strength and coordination. So I still would recommend it.

As long as she can sit up on her own, hold on to the handles as needed she should be fine. My daughter and I started about age 2.5 and I felt she was secure. Good luck!

My son is two and has a lot of room i think the ages limit is like 4years but im sure youll be able to use longer. My son loves it. Definitely worth it.

Our son used it until he was almost a year old (even though he was walking). He was 30+ inches at that point and was on the highest setting. Our daughter is your son's height and is on the lowest setting still, but she'll likely be moving up soon.

My 9 month old is small compared to others his age, but I am still using it....will probably be able to use it until he's one. A larger child may be able to go only until 10 months.
