Do the pedals lock so the child can use them as a footrest?

Is it possible that they used to have this awesome and obvious amazing feature, and discontinued it in the newer model? When I walk at an adult's pace now, my toddlers little legs have to work like crazy to stay on the pedals. But we used to have one almost identical (the handle bars didn't join in the middle) that would click but let the kid rest her feet on the pedals without moving...

The pedals continue to go around but it works fine. If your child has their feet on them it stays in place.

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?

The pedals don't lock but the axle does ratchet so the child can rest their feet while being pushed.

I returned it because the wheels didn't lock. But I don't remember foot rests at all.

No there aren't, but the seat can be screwed in one of three different positions to accommodate children of different heights. Also, for this tricycle's youngest users (9-18 months), the directions say that the pedals should be locked, and this allows them to be used like foot rests. A safety arm with a cup holder is also provided to keep younger/shorter users secured.

No they don't they are only designed to hold the seat in place if a child isn't in it

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.

Probably not - children's bike pedals usually do not have the mounting holes necessary to attach these toe clips.

My son is 3, and does not use the footrest. He glides quite a bit by balancing with his feet hovering over the ground, so the footrest is not really helpful to him right now, but it's certainly not hurting anything, either.

We bought the Kazam balance bike for my grandson at Xmas. He just turned three. In two months he is able to push off and ride the bike. The foot rest was an instinctive position for him. I believe the foot rest is an important component to the design of the bike.

Yes. We purchases this product when our grandson was 2 and he was able to reach the pedals. He is now 4 and still loves it.

Possibly, my two year old is tall for her age, but can't quite use the pedals yet even with the seat all the way up and the pedal extenders on... But she can still navigate it around the house.

Yes. The foot rests aren't attached but they just slide into place and lock.

I don't think most balance bikes have a foot rest. I think in fact it would be dangerous as it would prevent the child from being able to stop himself quickly enough, as the feet serve as brakes on a balance bike. My son just picks up his feet when he is coasting. It is not as though a kid young enough to be using a balance bike will be likely to coasting for long enough for that to be a problem. Also, since the feet also serve in the place of pedals, they need to put them down to keep going. I would recommend looking for a video of a kid using a balance bike--it wasn't until I saw some other kids using theirs that I realized how much they can really do on them.

No, they are your peddles. My 10 year old son can barely reach them as foot rest. No place to put the passanger feet. ALSO FYI CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS.... our bike is still not fixed.

Your child will coast without pedaling. If your child presses back on the pedal the brake will engage, it is very sensitive. All in all it is a great little bike.

The seat is adjustable, so as long as he/she can reach the pedal, then yes! It doesn't go very fast and has an idle shift position, so that she can safely be pushed. There is no safety belt though, so either you have to rig something up or teach him/her to be careful.

I think so, although we bought them for our 2 1/2 yr old grandson's Big Wheel. They still didn't allow his feet to reach both pedals, but that wasn't the blocks' fault.

Kind of. They have a mechanism to lock, but it doesn't really do the trick too well. The wheels honestly aren't that great. One of mine broke clean off. It stays pretty immobile, but can shift if bumped hard enough.
