I am currently running down the road with my four year old on a 16" bike, holding him under his armpits. It works a treat. He's learned to pedal, adjust his foot position on the pedals when needed, and braking. This morning he learned moving onto the saddle from standing over the frame. I'm so bloomin' proud. Soon I will be letting go... and waiting for him to realise I've stopped.
As for getting a nervous rider on the road, I have failed bit with my other half, though she will go to the park and the swimming pool very local with me no probs. But recently we went to Holland for a holiday and rode loads and loads, with the kid on the back and whatnot. Me Julie seemed to get much more into it there, with their super-system of paths and/or priorites. Its so damned civilised. And you can get herb in cafes. FYI
