Anyone done this? Anyone seen anything like this? Ideas?

It's an Adams one, and has BMX style cranks.

Foot rest? Make the little bugger work!

I still have [i]fond[/i] memories of encouraging our two to JUST BLOODY PEDAL! 😆

Is it possible she's not quite ready for it then?

It's possible, but she loves it and this would allow us to sell the trailer to fund a new real bike for both her and her sister. Just found out Buddy Bike make fold-out foot pegs, will see if they can be made to fit ours.

How about a bmx front axle through the BB shell and then screw stunt pegs onto it?

I've done this for a few customers, will see if I have pic, the easiest way is a square taper bb and two blocks of nylon and two long bolts that threaded into the axle on the bb

Could you just use a length of studding and some big washers? Put the studding through the BB shell and tighten up. Might need a packer to keep the studding central in the shell but a bit of dowel with hole through it will do that. If you want it posher replace the nuts with stunt pegs

+1 for stunt pegs. Bit of threaded rod inbetween and make some plywood washers to fit up to the sides of the BB shell and a bit of wood that just fits inside the BB shell with a hole drilled through. Tighten stunt pegs to that they clamp the wooden washers to the frame.
