I purchased two scooters a little more than two years ago for my son and daughter who were two and three at the time. They are now 4 and 5. The ride is super smooth, fast, easy for a toddler to use, sturdy, and so light weight, they can carry them in and out of the house / car by themselves. They have used them nearly everyday, non- stop since I purchased them. The brake recently broke off but after two years of continuous use, I wasnt surprised and it really hasn't stopped them. Now, to slow down, they step on the wheel that the brake pad used to sit on. Apparently, its just as effective if you're wearing tennis shoes. I plan on purchasing two more in a couple of weeks for Christmas. We really got a lot of use from these. I take them with me in the mall too! It helps my kids keep up, it makes going to the mall fun, I get to shop AND excercise the kiddies too! mini kick Scooter - YELLOW
This scooter is fantastic! My 3 year old had played around with 2 wheeled scooters in the playground and never got the hang of them, but jumped straight on this and off he went. It steers beautifully and runs nicely. Just be careful; a bump in the sidewalk can throw them right over the handlebars; but that's a danger of scootering in general rather than any flaw with this product. My son rides it preschool every day and we've cut our walking time by half - yay!
Highly recommended.
It's amazing to watch the culmination of mind and body coordination develop from crawling, walking, running, pedaling, and now scooting of our 2-1/2 year-old. He literally took to this in less than a day! The overall design and construction appears high Swiss quality. Even with tricycling for about 3 months, he still hasn't quite got steering L/R down, so the scooter's "lean and steer" mechanism allows for more freedom to roll around without the fear of a sudden sharp turn causing a crash. The polyurethane wheels offer a smooth glide both indoors and outdoors. There's a rear spoon brake for additional control. The floorboard is very low to the ground, and coupled with its three-wheeled design, offers great stability. For three-wheeled scooters, I recommend the 2-front, 1-rear design for ease of use/learning, because if it has 2 wheels in the rear, they can get in the way of the rider's push-off foot. Also, please have the rider always wear appropriate protection pads (helmet, elbows, knees, etc.). With proper use, it's as much fun for them to scoot as it is for you to watch, if not more!
my 3 year old just received this scooter from his grandmother, and it is truly one of the best purchases we have ever made for him. he's had bikes, scooters, tricycles, etc. in the past, none of which really caught on...until this one! it is remarkably easy to steer, super lightweight, and of exceptional quality. he's had it for 3 days, and he's already a pro. while he is out riding, people comment constantly on how good he is at using it (and he's never had a riding toy that he was able to master quite like this one at all, let alone in such a short amount of time.)
the lean-and-steer technology is, in my opinion, the best part, and lets him glide all over the sidewalk (or in our case, boardwalk) with very good control. his old scooter required you to turn the handle to steer, which was awkward for him, and not very easy to do. the step-on back brake brings the scooter to a fast but smooth stop. the best part is, when he wants a break, i can carry it quite easily due to it's very light weight.
did i mention that my son is REALLY fast on this scooter as well? i used to have to stop and wait for him on our walks, now it is definitely the other way around. we are both getting more exercise and i am very happy about that!
in all, i cannot say enough positive things about this scooter. a fantastic buy, and i expect him to use it for years to come. - First Scooter'
