The Lil’ Quads are generally safe for 1-year-olds because of their small size and toddler-friendly features. These features include low seats and small handlebars. The footrests help keep them stabilized by placing the legs and feet in the correct positions. Having said that, toy vehicles may not be safe for toddlers with certain physical or neurological impairments. If you have any concerns, we recommend checking with your pediatrician, who can recommend proper safety measures. At the very least, we recommend safety gear such as a bike helmet since there are no seatbelts in these vehicles.
We also want to stress that these are safe with supervision by a responsible adult. They go slow enough for adults to walk along with the child, but this may not be necessary for small spaces, like a playroom or a fenced-in yard. Plus, these only go forward with limited turn radiuses, so there’s virtually no risk of out-of-control driving. However, the push button feature makes it easy for you or your toddler to stop the vehicle instantly in case of emergencies.
