So i my grandson who is 2 and has short legs, this would not be the trike for him?

Most likely not. The seat is moveable but it's a pretty large trike. I'd wait a year.

It's a great bike for him. I got it for my grandson before he could sit up, and now he is riding around all over the place. They do eventually grow into it.

If he has already mastered a tricycle and big wheel-type vehicles, he can probably handle the steering - especially in the slow gear. But it's pretty big and bulky, so if he's on the small side, you may want to wait til the 3rd birthday. It's big enough that even older kids can drive it. (my 10 year old can still squeeze in and drive it around). So you'll have it a long time.

I purchased this for my grandson, who was 3 at the time and small for his age. He was able to get into it and manuever it without any problems. My son-in-law did have to move the seat up so his feet could touch the pedal. I don't know if this helps or not.

He could enjoy it very much but he must wear protective helmet and elbow and knee pads because the scooter spins around without knowing when it will, and you may fall off. It is low to the ground so you will not fall far,but it does go very fast. My grandson loves his. He is 11. Years old.

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.

I think the child ought to be walking first. I bought two trikes for two of my grandkids for Christmas when they were between one and two years old. They rode them a little bit, but mostly waited until spring to ride outside. If your child is not able to ride right away, the trike is still a good investment because riding it is a slow progressive process and it is a toy he/she will grow into it. The kids were certainly happy to receive their trikes and loved just sitting on them!

My grandson is 2 years old and of average height. We have the seat adjusted al the way up and he reaches the peddles fine.

The seat on this tricycle is adjustable for short or taller kids. However, it only allows for a short range of sizes. Our grandson is tall for his age and almost 31 months old. He has played with it quite a bit, but now that he has recently received an electric motorized vehicle, the tricycle sees little use. It now waits for No. 2 grandson to arrive. In summary, the tricycle is adjustable within a limited amount of range, but it is well made and, with care, will last quite a long time.

I purchased the Schwinn low rider for my 3 year old son, and it's a little hard for him to pedal without a little push. However this is his first tricycle, and he has to build up his leg strength. So I guess it depends if it's for a new rider or child that's already use to riding.

This was perfect for my grandson who used it until about 4 1/2 and then moved easily to a small two wheeler with training wheels. If your daughter is petite, she may have an issue reaching pedals on a trike. There is a little learning curve with toddlers being able to move in a forward direction on the scoot-about...my grandson found it easier to push backwards, at first.

This walker was too tall at the shortest setting for our grandson at 6 months to about 9 months.He is not a dwarf but is not a very big boy.Of course he is 2 now and running everywhere.

Yes, we have a special needs grandchild who is also 8 and is small too, he rides the tricycle just fine as the seat is adjustable.

It may be. If heseems to have good motor skills it should be ok. My three year old grandson seems to prefer his tricycle at present. He is over thirty some pounds. He will probably use this bike before he turns four.

My 2 yr old grandson is on the 90% height chart and he needs another year of growth. I would say 3 - 4yrs old would be about right. The trike is built very well and should last as long as it is needed.....KC

With its rubber pneumatic tires and utilitarian construction, it's not for the very young toddler. We used the trike for a junior high school field day.

Yes. My child was the same size of yours and she can play with this tricycle.

The bike is short to the ground - we purchased for my son for his 3rd birthday and it does help for it to be low to the ground as the feet have to do all the work. There is a big difference between the 12" to 16" but the 16" will definitely last him longer. My son is in 3T clothing and the 12" bike is a good size for him. If your grandson is bigger - I would probably look at the bigger bike that he will grow into?
