Is the kid able to brake his/her bike? What happens then?

Answers are correct, however you can temporarily unlatch the child's rear brake cable while attached to the trailgator to avoid the issue (so when they squeeze their brake lever, nothing happens).

Yes, the kid is able to use their brake. My daughter has done this to me and I just wondered why it was harder to pull her along all of a sudden. She thought it was funny and hasn't done it since!

If your childs bike is able to brake, you will feel the drag immediately. It doesn't impact stability or stop you, but it will slow you down, and give you a chance to remind them not to do that. It typically happens to my daughter when she 'looses (her) pedal' and kicks back to get her feet back on.

They can't stop the momentum of the adult bike, so it's only annoying (the kid-tire drags). When my son does it, I just tell him to stop.

The child can apply their brakes when riding. You will notice the pull feeling. After that happened once, I reminded my daughter not todo that when riding. It is not enough to stop you completely when the child brakes.

Yes, since the toddler is still learning to ride there is a chance of falling off the bike

Just hand brakes. My daughter is 8yrs old, she loves the bike. It didnt take her long at all to get used to the hand brakes

I've never crashed, however I did have an incident where I needed to break hard suddenly. My little boy's head hit the pedestal piece that's mounted. He was wearing a helmet though and ended up being fine. Be very cautious as you ride, and you need to be a good bike rider.

The breaks face up so there is no chance for contact with glass. The bike is upside down with bike grips in cradle and breaks towards the sky. Ive never seen a bike with th brakes above the grips.

I'm not an expert. You probably should contact the makers. But for me I have a standard hybrid bike ( mountain/street) and I have no issues. Just be sure NEVER leave the child alone. The bike will tip over. You must be there and hold the bike right after you lift you child into it. I brought it for my younger son but I've had older kids on it. I've also purchased handlebars that can mount on the back of my seat so they can hold on.

There is no brake, however there is a black rubber gripper around the wheels for traction. If you are torn, all I can say is that I've been consistently impressed by this toy- it's durable and I expect it will last years. I have three rough kids and I'm amazed that it still looks like its new. The quality is excellent and it'll transition well as your baby grows up into a kid.

I'm not sure because it's a pedal brake. You use the pedals to use that brake.

Your child will coast without pedaling. If your child presses back on the pedal the brake will engage, it is very sensitive. All in all it is a great little bike.

It does have a back pedal brake. My son loved this bike. Never saw one as cool as this around our neighborhood. Sold it used for $50 when it was to small for him. I would absolutely recommend this bike.

Probably not cause it has the training wheels on it. Overall it's not a good bike. This is my 2nd one. The first one fell apart in a few months and my son hardly rode it. So I got a replacement from the maker. This one is pretty much falling apart too. It's a good concept but not durable.

Yes, you can pedal backwards to break or use the hand brake, says so right in the description at the top.

problematic. While the rack adjusts, a child's bike would likely be too small.

No there isn't. We got this for our 2.5 yr old grandson who is on the small side. He could just reach the pedals when he got it and learned quickly to pedal and steer. Now at 3 he's a pro. He loves his bike. It's very well made and will last. Maybe wait until your son is just a little bit older.

You have to put on the front wheel and brake. My 11 year old son and I did it in 5min.

The bike has both the standard cruise brake and a hand brake. Our daughter (5) only uses the cruise brakes so we are not sure how good the other one is.

No not really. There is a small area by the back tire that my son will use sometimes. Great bike though! My son is 2 and loves it-I can see how it teaches balance
