Does it recline too much for my 4 year old to reach the pedals and handlebars?

My 5 year old daughter can reach the handlebars and pedals comfortably, she's approx 110cm tall. You don't have to have them strapped tight to the rest. It depends how tall the child is.

Our almost 4 year old can reach the handle bars just fine. For now she reaches the pedals...but not enough to actually pedal. She still enjoys the ride and as fast as she seems to grow, it will be great fit in a few months time!

No. Pretty upright. Note how close it comes to the back of the seat. However, results can vary with your child's height.

Your child most likely reach the handlebars but you might need pedal block extenders for the feet.

No. It really does not have much angle..almost straight up and down. It has been perfect for my 4 year old. I adjusted the handlebars so they were closer. It would have helped even without the backresr.I hope this helps.

I don't know. I added this seat back to the larger trike bike for my son who is over 5' tall. it does provide for a fairly straight, erect seat.

My daughter is tall and always was. Because there are no pedals I'd say you got more room than with a traditional bike. Unfortunately she has no interest yet in using it. She loves her scooter too much.

Difficult at 4 reaching pedals, ok for 5 and good for 6-11 yr old. Our 4 yr old could do it with a cushion behind her.

Im afraid he probably won't get too much use out of it. My son is just over 36 inches and his knees hit the handle bars now. Not to mention he is a bit too heavy for it now and he weighs 30 # now. Hope this helps.

I have a small three year old that has trouble reaching the pedals. It really is a nice, solid, big tricycle that they can ride for ever!

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

No. This trike is bigger than it looks plus it has two seat positions for when you need them. My 4 year old can still easily ride his if he so chooses.

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

Bought this for my 4 1/2 yr old (who is in 95th percentile for height) and he can easily reach the pedals but it is hard to push them. He still loves it and mostly will stand on the back and push it. By next summer he should have the strength to pedal I would think, hope!

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.

No. I'd say that's the perfect height for this bike. My kid is 44 inches tall and still loves this bike over his regular bike with pedals. I highly recommend this bike, it taught my kid how to balance on a bike in less than a week!

Hi, pretty much the same as below. I'm 6'4, and I have to move my legs a little, it's not uncomfortable and my daughter likes the seat so much, we will take 2-3 mile rides with not problem. The positioning of the child on the bike is really the big benefit, you can carry on a conversation.

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

If your child is able to sit up on his own with a helmet and not get tired, then physically, yes, he should be ready. There isn't any way for your child to recline with most bike seats, including this one, and if you go over any bumps that is going to add to the need for your child to have neck strength. Personally, with all the uncertainty about bouncing and brain development, etc., we didn't put our little one in this until he was 1.

I just got this bike and it works for someone who is 4'11". I can fully pedal while sitting properly in the chair (on its lowest setting) and have no issues holding onto the handlebars. I think those shorter than me would find it difficult to reach the pedals comfortably.

We just started using this with my 4.5 year old daughter who is about 42 inches and 40 pounds. She can *just* touch the pedals. It has a 16" or possibly even 20" wheel and the seat can adjust up quite a ways. I've read a lot of reviews indicating that they continued to use this tandem on longer bike rides with children as old as 8 or 9. My daughter had no previous biking/balancing experience and she loves it.

I bought it for my daughter at 2 years old as well and she is tall for her age. She can reach the pedals but if the pedal is fully extended she can't reach it enough to get a good push on it. She loves it though...she scoots around on it just putting her feet on the ground. I would think she would be able to ride it until 5 or so. I actually had to buy a new one for her because she left the trike behind our F-150 truck and lets just say that didn't end well for the bike! So Santa "fixed" the bike and will be bringing it back!
