Swiss-Designed Micro Kickboard - Mini Original 3-Wheeled Lean-to-Steer Scooter for Preschool Kids, Ages 2-5 Review

We bought this for our son who is just over 2 1/2 years old. As for the product, the quality is top notch. The wheels spin freely, the scooter behaves well on concrete and asphalt. I'm 6ft 2" and 225lbs and I've stood on the scooter a few times (you could tell the scooter was screaming for mercy) but it definitely held up. At first we were concerned that our son would have a hard time kicking him into a dead end with all the older kids who have scooters, but after playing with the Micro Mini…

We had a lot of scooters. Lots for $5 at flea markets, lots at Amazon's holiday sale (razors are good then). My 7 and 9 year olds are currently using it to run around the house. This is a big fight because I bought it for my 2 year old daughter who wanted to get on a scooter and be towed by us with big kids. She can stand on it and crawl. That's great. She couldn't do that on our other scooters. You don't twist the handle to steer like you would a bicycle, you sort of lean in to steer. It took…

Deserves a five star rating. I bought it for my son for his second birthday. He learned to ride it easily (he was physically ahead of the corner) and was riding it within two weeks.

I disassembled and packed it lightly for my trip to Portland, and it made us more willing to explore on foot during our vacation. It effectively bridges the gap between strollers and long walks. Reduces whining ("Mom, carry me!")…

***Updated*** We've had this for about 5 months and it's my son's favorite piece. I am updating my review because I have never worked with such a wonderful company. I accidentally hit my son's scooter with my car. It was a stupid mistake and I was very upset. We're trying to save money and I didn't know how to buy him another one. I decided to take a look at the company's website and they are really great at handling these types of errors. They sent me the parts I needed to fix the one he has…

I bought two of these scooters for my twins' 3rd birthdays, a boy and a girl. I had never heard of these scooters before until I read the Best (Energy Efficient) Toys of 2015 article on social media; see http://www.modernparentsmessykids.com/gift-guide-2013-best-toys-for-keeping-kids-active-indoors-out. The scooters arrived in very good condition, very well packaged. Installation literally took less than 10 seconds. I might not have been able to make a toast without lighting it up, but I…
