Are there footrests (not the pedals themselves) for toddlers who cant reach and are being pushed by an adult to rest their feet on?

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.

There aren't any pegs but our granddaughter who just turned one loved being pushed around in it. She was comfortable!

Not on this version, but there is for the more expensive newer model. Its alot more money, but not worth it

I believe there are accessories available directly from Strider. For example, they sell taller seat posts for when your toddler gets too tall. But I don't know if the seats are any softer. That said, bike seat posts usually come in standard diameters. If the Strider bike adheres to one of those standards, it seems you could replace the post entirely with your own post and seat. Alternatively, you could try adding some padding yourself to the seat if your daughter is complaining. hope she enjoys the bike as much as my son enjoys his!!

It Is possible but never happened. The foot rest is comfy for them so it isn't a natural tendancy to put your foot there. My oldest is almost 6 and still rides some. Her legs and feet are never an issue. She is very tall for her age. We love the stroller.

My daughter is 6 and a half years and still reaching the pedals can not touch the floor level with the feet. if the seat was less high it can be easier, I thought adjusting the seat with another style to reduce the height

My 2 yr old grandson can not reach the pedals yet . But he uses his feet to get around on it and spends hours on 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 .

Agree. Footrest needs pressure to put down. It will not fall down if his feet are in there at 18 mos. Our 3 yr old grandson still needs help to put it down.

I bought this for my 3 year old grandson and put blocks on the pedals (and he is a bit tall for his age). So it would depend how long his legs are. Best to find one in a store and sit him on it (I did) to see if pedal blocks would work.

No. If I had known there wasn't a place for them to rest their feet I wouldn't have purchased. my 20m old can reach the pedal just doesnt know how to use them so his feet drag on the ground. He loves the trike just I cant seem to get him to use it properly and it doesnt have a foot rest like other models.

Yes, with just a flip of a lever. We do not use the footrests very often.The most difficult part for us is the wheel brake. They are very stiff and hard to set with my husband's hand weakness

They have one that has a foot rest for the child, get that one maybe. My granddaughter loves her trike but her legs are to short to stay on the pedals as a 14 month old and she is to young to know not to keep putting her feet on the wheel. Just to let you know we still use it, her feet can not really get hurt with closed in shoes, because everything is plastic. It will just get a light color shoe really dirty looking. My husband is working on something to hang over the main bar for her feet to be placed in so her feet have some other place to rest other than the wheel. Just a Grandparent loving time with the little one

The footrest was one of the reasons my hubby chose this one for our three year old, but honestly, I have never seen him use it. He likes to keep his feet out as he glides. He's been using it for about a year now.

No and it's a problem, because the pedals continue spinning, you cant fix them, so my baby was not able to hold them more than 5 min. There is great option "build a trike" on radio flyer website, so you choose footrest+all-terrain tires+everything you'd like to, even a bell.

This "Baby Racer" is suggested for children 1 1/2 to 3 years of age. There is no foot rest, as their feet stay on the floor to push & stop.

There is no footrest, I think the idea is the car is foot propelled. If I push the car, my son puts his feet up next to the steering wheel. Hope the helps. It does ok off and into dirt, but it is better on a smooth surface such as a sidewalk or inside.

The benches and ottoman is sturdy for a one year old to sit on. However, the benches should only be used as a foot rest for adults. A friend of ours who is about 145lbs sat on one of the bench and cracked the woods.

No. There is not pedals. They have to move it with their feet or u push it!
