At what age was your child able to ride a tricycle...
unassisted?
meaning...you didn't need to push them, they could pedal all by themselves....

ETA: I don't know if her bike is just "stiff" or not---Em will be 3 in October and she has a hard time pedalling her trike.

Re: At what age was your child able to ride a tricycle...
We bought Kate a princess tricycle for her birthday on Sunday--so I don't know exactly how she'll be; however, she seemed to do pretty well on her little friend's bike--although she was mostly going backward!!

Re: At what age was your child able to ride a tricycle...
My DS #1 never really rode a trike - he wasn't skilled enough when he was small and by the time he was a little bigger, he just graduated to a bike with training wheels. My DD has been doing it for as long as I can remember on other kids trikes. I never got her one, she got a 2 wheeler with training wheels last Spring and she turned 3 last summer. I think a trike is harder, the wheels are so small and if they have long legs, it's even harder. Maybe your DD is ready for a 12 inch 2 wheeler?

DD is 2 1/2 and she can cycle her trike - she has a little trouble steering but she has mastered the pedals but this is a child who despite her small frame would attempt to lift me off the ground - seriously she is really really strong for her age - at least I think so.

Bella doesn't have the leg strength/coordination to pedal the bike...she can with a little push now, but at the beginning of the summer she couldn't even do that.

Re: At what age was your child able to ride a tricycle...
DS is just turning 2 1/2. He can pedal by himself just fine, but he is a madman when it comes to steering, so I have to use the push bar mainly to keep him from crashing into every curb, car, etc.

Re: At what age was your child able to ride a tricycle...
Jenna got a trike at her 2nd birthday and mastered it in a few days-at 3 she mastered a bike with training wheels and now at 4 we have started taking the training wheels off sometimes to let her practice on 2 wheels.

Miranda is just barely starting but she's short so reaching the pedals is an issue.
