My son got this
scooter when he was 1 1/2 years old. He fell in love with it right away,
although he couldn't ride it by himself. I would just have him stand on it
while I held onto his hands and drove him around. It didn't take long,
however, until he was trying to do it by himself. It is fairly stable,
considering it has 3 big wheels on it, so he didn't tip it over too much.
He is now 22 months old, and riding it all around the house by himself! He
learned how to push with one foot, and is getting better at steering. It
has definitely taught him some hand-eye coordination! I never would have
bought a scooter for him at this age, but I ended up getting it from my
neighbor. Her husband bought it for their 9 year old, and it is way to
small for someone that age. I didn't think he would learn how to ride it
so quickly, but I think it's great that he did :) He always watches the
older boys outside riding their scooters, and now he's big enough to join
them. He's very proud of himself, and so are we!!

Bought this as
a First Scooter for my 6 year old boy. Picture shows a boy that appears
the same size as my son, however, once we got it, just before Christmas,
and opened the box to set it up under the tree, discovered that it is
quite small. Although it appears well made and sturdy, it is more
appropriate for a 2 or 3 year old.
My son is two
years old. I was worried about getting this type of toy for him but his
older niece has one and he absolutely loved it. When he got his scooter he
was very excited and till this day, he uses it every day. The wheels are
big and strong and he rides it perfectly.
I would definitely
recommend this scooter for tots over 2 :)
I bought this
scooter for my three year old grandson's birthday. It is wonderful. A very
safe scooter for a young child. He loves to ride it in the house, to the
park, or on the sidewalk. It was easy for him to handle and steer. It is
low to the ground and very sturdily built so that when he falls it isn't a
crisis. He hops back up and starts over. A wonderful present for an
adventurous boy!
Our 4 year old
received this for his birthday and he has not stayed off it..he absolutely
loves it!! Our 20 month old also tries to ride it, but he is a bit too
little, so we are going to go find him one suited a little more to his
size. We are very inpressed with the quality, considering how inexpensive
it is. We highly recommend this to anyone who has a very active child!!
Our son has been riding it around in the house since it is a bit cold out
still. We also need to purchase some safety gear before he rides it
outside. Great scooter!!
