5 out of 5 stars son loves it   July 9, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

i bought this after my 3 1/2 year old kept eyeing a neighbor on his ripskate. my son loves it. he is so willing to put on his helmet and pads. we take it for a ride to the park. and i can easily hook the handle bar over my umbrella stroller if he chooses to walk instead.
the same neighbor gave us their old skateboard with a steering handle. my son still prefers his radio flyer. it has good steering and a wide base for him.
someone remarked about its tipability. no problem. my son's taken a few falls--all within my watchful eyes. but the knee/elbow pads have always protected him. then it quickly got to a point where he would fall on purpose to scrape his pads. and he loves showing off the scratch marks from his pads. it's a great beginning scooter for a tot.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent scooter for a 4th birthday gift!   July 6, 2008

I gave this to my youngest son after he watched his older siblings on a regular two wheeled scooter. The time it took from removing from the package to usage and familiarity was the time it took to carry it down the front steps and on to the driveway. Any child who has seen or attempeted a two wheel scooted will be able to use this instantly.

The product is solidly built, the only possible weak spot would be the fold down hinge for the handle. This is how it is shipped and it also comes in handy for taking it elsewhere (It has been to the playground, tennis courts, baseball field, parking lot, basically anywhere with a semi flat surface).

One caution: The three wheel design does give our son more confidence to go faster so the crashes, when they happen, are more spectacular. Buy some extra Band-aids.




5 out of 5 stars great first scooter!!   July 4, 2008
My mom got two of these (one red for boy and one pink for girl) when we visited her this summer so the kids would have something to play with at her house. We had to bring them home with us because my 3 year olds couldn't give them up! They are safe and easy enough for my 3 year olds to use on their own. I highly recommend. Oh, and they are easy to pack and store.


4 out of 5 stars Lives uo to its Reputation   June 24, 2008
I think this is a perfect first scooter. It's sturdy and durable. It comes all put together.


5 out of 5 stars a year later and it's still his favorite toy   May 30, 2008

My son got this when he was about 18 months old. It's been a year, and He still plays with it daily. It's probably his favorite (and there is no toy shortage around here). It really helps develop balance and coordination. He now unfortunately)invents different ways to use it (like going really fast and jumping off, or tipping it onto 2 side wheels) but the scooter is so sturdy and well made that he has NEVER gotten hurt or had a mishap. Really great toy, can't recomend it highly enough
