What is the closest distance to the pedals from the seat? Can kids ride this?

I would think a normal size 7-8 year old could ride it I want to use mine for clowning in parades

We no longer have them, but bigger kids (pre-teens) could probably ride them, but not smaller children. Makers should be able to give you dimensions on website.

This is for big kids and young adults. I don't think a small child could physically reach or be able to really maneuver this tricycle.

It's about 24 inches from the seat to the pedal when it's down which is not a problem for a smaller 7 year old girl.The seat is adjustable with 3 options. All ages ride mine (7 to 70). We could place the seat in the first option for an even smaller child. The seat is hard to assemble and we didn't want to have to keep moving it so I chose the middle setting which allows everyone to ride. We did the same with the angle of the handlebars. The front of the seat on mine is 6 inches from the bottom of the handlebar. The first option would move it 3 inches closer. I hope this helps. We really like this trike. It is very sturdy.

We just bought this for my 10 year old son. He is about 4 feet tall and he is just barely able to reach the pedals with the seat adjusted clear up.

The seat is adjustable to various lengths (closer to handle bars and further away). On our bike, I measured 5 inches from the closest hole. But the bike is built for older children. I purchased this for my 12 year old who is almost 5 feet (4'10) and he loves it! It fits him perfectly. (we have the seat on the 2nd hole from the front). But I agree, a younger child could not handle this bike, it is heavy and would be difficult to maneuver. Also the wheels are big as well as the seat. It would be better for an older child or young adult.

I do know my daughter is a little over 3 foot tall and she isn't quite tall enough to pedal yet. She can reach the pedals if she scooches all the way up she can reach them but can't really use them yet. I would say probably 40" is correct.

I would say no less than around 3 feet. The seat, at its lowest position, is around 20-21 inches, so check your kiddos inseam. My daughter started riding it when she was just shy of 40 inches (she's around 42-43 inches now) and it fit and fits her perfectly. It truly is a sturdy, fantastic little bike. Well worth the dollars spent.

Depends on size of child. If he can reach the pedals, I say buy the Smart Cycle. I purchased it for the children in my daycare and my youngest son. All the children loved it!

My son is almost 4 and 42 inches tall. He has no problem reaching the pedals.

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 am about 5 feet and it works for me. You have to move the seat as close to the pedals as possible which makes getting to the tension knob a little inconvenient but its still fine.

MyKick's seat post ranges from 12.5″ to 16″.My 4 year old is tall (about 43 inches), and he has just about outgrown this awesome bike. We will have to look for something else for this coming summer.

No. My daughter is 5' and she can barely pedal even on the closest setting.

At the time I got this for my daughter, last Christmas, I put the sit on the first notch, she was about 44" or so and I had to move it back further and when I moved it to the next one, she had a bit of a time trying to reach the pedals. She still can use it for a few more years. I'm glad I got it. My 5 yr. old nephew has ridden it and is much smaller then my daughter and he moved the seat to the first notch and was able to reach the pedals just fine and I'd say he is about 38', he s a bit rougher with it and it holds up well. I believe it was a good buy.

I am 5 ft 1 inch tall, I wonder if this would be a little bit heavy for her to propel? I have the seat on the lowest setting, and I am thinking maybe she could ride this ok, is there a childs sized one out there? Maybe you could put some sort of wooden blocks on the pedals in case her legs are a little too short. Do you want me to measure anything for you? Its sitting here in my garage and would be happy to measure it for you. I really like the bike.Cheers, Cheryl

Overall it is approximately 48", it measures 25" from pedal to the back of the seat. I think the assembly instructions said 5-9 yrs for the age range. Our son is 6 and it fits him well, I would guess he will get a few years use out of it!

That's questionable . I bought it for my 3 year old grandson who is tall for his age and he can't reach the base pedal or the floor when he's sitting on it, but he absolutely loves it. It might be a case that I don't have it set correctly. . Sorry I couldn't be more help .

The inner edge of the pedals are 6 inches apart. It's a very comfortable stance as if walking. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately no, however, any child able to reach the pedals will be able to climb in and out with ease. Just expect the usual tumbles.

Sorta. My daughters are about the same height as you, and this bike was 'big' for them. They couldn't reach the ground while sitting on the seats at the lowest possible position. Which is generally ok, you can always hop off when you need to place your feet on the ground. But, I think a better question would be - why this bike? Please see my review. If I could have given a zero star rating, I would have. This thing was the biggest pile of junk every made.

Yes, he should be able to reach the pedals. The seat is adjustable and can be moved up pretty far. I got it for my son when he was 3 and he loves it. He's going to be 5 and still plays with this car.
