Lil-Foote Kettrest

Lil-Foote Kettrest is one of the most popular products on Amazon. Therefore, I can say that "it's good and worth your money". Alright, this is some information I can find for you.

Lil-Foote Kettrest

There is some information from the distributor to specify this product.

Kick back and relax! Perfect for Kettrikes with Auto-Freewheel pedal systems, the Lil-Foote Kettrest allows even the youngest child to safely rest their feet with total protection from the front wheel and pedals. It allows for true stroller-like use with added comfort and safety, and is a snap to remove once your child is ready to ride on his or her own. Easy to assemble with no tools required. Measures 2.5" x 13.5" x 13.5".

Here it is, some specification for Lil-Foote Kettrest.

Here it is, some specification for Lil-Foote Kettrest.

We agree with Wendy - don't waste your money. The method used to attach the footrest to the Ketrike is a belt that goes around the main bar of the trike. After buckling the belt and tightening, it'll work until the child puts any amount of pressure on the footrest. The belt easily loosens and the footrest digs into the wheel/pedals, causing the trike to stop abruptly - which is a pain for both the child riding and the parent pushing.
We ordered this footrest along with the Brummi Kettrike. The quality of the cycle is fantastic and we expected the same from the footrest. However, the footrest does not stay in place which causes the wheels to "lock up" while we are pushing, which lurches the bike and my child forward. I e-mailed the folks at Kettler and they had no real suggestions as to how to resolve the problem. Unless this item works better on different Kettrikes, I would not spend the money for this item.



Wonderful product as long as the foot rest is installed correctly. We had a local bike shop assemble the entire air jumbo w/the foot rest...turned the trike into a perfect pushcar for our one year old. 6 months later it is still a wonderful way to get around the neighborhood. I question the installation of the foot bar on the other review...it in no way interferes with the tires.

I hope you may be interested in these items as well.

Thanks zemaserver for helping us looking for this information.
