Do you think the doll carriage in the front affects the balance of the bike and/or makes it harder for a toddler to ride/steer?

Not at all. My 3 year old loads it with toys and "treasures" she finds on her bike rides and there are no issues with balance.

The doll carriage does not effect the balance. It is very light . My grand daughter had no trouble learning to ride it. A well built item.

The basket is plastic and weights next to nothing. It moves with the handle bars so it does not interfere. I do not think a doll within the basket would affect performance but if she puts something heavy in there then you she will have issues. Try finding the manual for weight limitations for the basket.

The steering handle turns the front wheels. We love this little bike. We bought it for our 10 month old granddaughter for Christmas. She has loved sitting on it and riding. Her toes reach the floor now and she is beginning to scoot it on her own. She gets such a sense of accomplishment by being able to move it own her own. Love this little bike.

Hello I gave the bike as a gift to my godson I'm not quite sure. However believe the low position goes down to the bike itself. The highest position wa more my concern because my godson is tall for his age. It's a very nice well made bike. If your child is growing fast though, they may out grow it quickly.

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.

My grandson is riding it very well and has been since his second birthday. I think he will be ready for a bicycle before he needs pedals. This little balance bike is very well built. The regular bike will come for my little guy's third birthday late November.

I tried the bike out before I gave it to my daughter. I think the gears are a bit hard to change. I thought it may have just been from my weight being on the bike. My daughter has never complained though.

I bought this stroller a month ago and loved mostly everything about it, but came back on to see if anyone is also seeing that their toddler needs to lean forward or slouch a little when there is a carseat installed in front. My toddler needs to bend her head forward a little when the carseat is installed.

Yes. It also means when you are working hard to pull them up a hill and their legs get tired they can put the breaks on and pretty much stop you dead in your tracks. Wish I would have thought through it like you are :-). All that being said my 3 year old daughter loves!!!!! Going on bike rides and I love being able to take her as well as have the option to unhook her and let her ride free around home. If given the chance I would make a few changes but overall we love it and would more than likely buy it again.

Yes. If the child is not pedaling, the bike still moves along. It definitely helps with give some momentum when they pedal but the bike moves along if they get tired.

Oh yes. We have a 3 & 1/2 granddaughter who loves her babies. The stroller is tough. The front wheels doesn't rotate aroundher. But for the money a good one.

Hello. We would always suggest that parents do what they think is necessary, but the Fly Bike does not have pedals and the Bike is used with the child's feet on the ground and their hands on the handle bars.Thank you

I have an almost 2 year old who still rides in it. He is about 30 lbs. If she sits well then she will do fine. However, I would consider the double version of this as well. I love this one, but it is a little squishy once the child gets about 2. I wish I would've gotten the double version of this.

The steering on our Joovy is pretty loose and managing two might be a challenge. My grandson has not showed an interest in pedaling (he's 19 months), but if you have one child wanting to navigate on their own and the other child is less inclined, you might have a control issue. Another point to consider is the reach of their legs. My little guy got his foot caught occasionally until he was able to plant is foot on the pedal. We do love this toy and he really prefers his Joovy over the stroller.

So far, yes. But with that said, my 3 year old doesn't like to go biking very often. Sometimes, the training wheels get loose and for the first few times of using it, I had to carry around a wrench. It hasn't done that in a while though. The handlebar for the parents is sturdy and strong and does control the bike. Overall we've been pretty happy with it.

I agree that the biggest problem is in keeping air in the front tire. Still, my granddaughter has loved hers! She is now 10 years old and is still riding this every time she gets a chance.

I will need to check with my kids. I bought it for my granddaughter for her third birthday. I will say I was very impressed that the training wheels made the bike stable enough for her to ride and she loves it. The basket is adorable; it looks like a a little carriage and she puts her stuffed bear in it.

This depends how big the child is. You can steer the bicycle by pulling back on the training handle thereby lifting the front wheel off the ground slightly. This will allow you to pivot around the rear wheel axis. Bike Balance
