Thanks angrybadger... look at what you made me do:
Pleased to be of assistance!
Yeah, i head out to Lysty occasionally, so the Trailmix area will be good. Although i think ill wait until he can walk first...
Maybe if you straighten the bars it might be easier for him!Thanks angrybadger... look at what you made me do:
Seriously though, it was your post and video that tipped me over the edge. Grabbed it at lunchtime today and he wanted to play with it all afternoon. By about his fourth or fifth go he could stand and walk/scoot on it. This is before he is even walking properly (he can take a couple of steps before falling over). He has no idea how to turn or steer, and the seat is slammed for him to use it, but thats ok.
Great buy. :first:
Hah, was waiting for someone to notice that, made it easier to keep it in the pram.
I think you are over thinking it. My kids learnt the balance thing really quickly but never wanted to rest their feet on the frame. They just keep em dangled....
I'm going off a mates advice who said be sure to get one they can put their feet on, once they learn to roll with moment they use it heaps. Without them I'm sure they'd be fine, but I want the feet up balancing if available. Gotta help. But yeah, probably doesn't make too much difference, or, it could make them a world cup rider or not though, who knows aye. LOL. Hmmmmm, the chance to ride bikes for money, hmmmmmmmmmm.
Ice cream container wouldn't be strong enough, you'd need to use aluminium. I personally wouldn't bother. My boy might put his feet up for 30m per ride at most. He'd survive without foot rests.
Grip tape is a good idea, better than nothing. The Strider had grip tape on the stays. My boy would use it but would have a tendancy to slip off esp when things got rough or doing tricks. He'll always grab sis's Splesh with the foot platforms.
Still smaller amounts compared to the $ that most of us spend on bikes.Grip tape is a good idea, better than nothing. The Strider had grip tape on the stays.

At the end of the day, they're on runners for such a short time. Once they get riding and if they're big enough, you'd be getting them on a peddaler anyhow.... That's when the $$$$ start flying out the door
Is that NOT supposed to be in there?
I'd never really thought about this until you mentioned it so I started asking my kid to see if he could do it. It took a few attempts but he now does it all the time without prompting and seems pretty comfortable. I didn't make any adjustments to the Cruzee, he just figures out where to put his feet without rubbing the tyre. It might depend on shoes - his trainers have a dent in the middle of the sole and I think that sits nicely on the (chain??)stay. Flat soles could be more of a challenge.
Care to weigh it to settle any disputes.
Have one of these also for my little one. loves it, well built, not too bad on weight and very solid. so far going well.
Will do tonight
