Mini Kick Scooter – ORANGE, for kids age 2-5, the quality 3-wheel scooter
The mini scooter is the quality scooter for young children. Its unique ‘lean-and-steer’ design allows children to use their body weight to control the steering, giving kids the feeling of ’surfing’ the sidewalk, as they curve from right to left, almost like a skateboard, adding an element of fun and control that young children love.
The mini scooter is designed with 3 wheels for greater stability and control. The polyurethane wheels create a wonderfully smooth glide and a quiet ri…

My son (2 1/2 yrs old) saw this scooter at a friends birthday party. He picked it up for the first time and seemed to instantly understand how to get it going. He zipped around all over inside their house… everyone was amazed. The birthday boy (2 yrs old) had yet to get excited about it… he really didn’t understand how to work it yet. It didn’t take too much watching for him to learn from my boy, though. We bought this immediately for our son after the party…
It comes with two pieces… the handlebars simply snap down into the base and your child is ready to go! The two front wheels provide great stability and when you child does tip over, the falls are very minor… nothing that is scraping knees or giving bruises yet. We will be getting some pads and helmet to use with it soon… he is not moving quickly enough on it to be a concern at this time.
My only complaint is a tiny one. On the very limited instruction sheet that is sent with it (you do not need any more than is sent), they show the scooter handlebars seemingly connected to the wheel base in a way that you can carry it folded together. I am guessing that this is something that can be done with their larger scooters, but not this one. Not a big deal…
This is a great toy for helping with eye-hand coordination and balance. He is learning how to control his body lean to make it ’steer’ left and right. He is also gaining confidence in using his various body parts in a way that he had not before… I think it is a great toy!
Maybe a little pricey… but we’d pay that again.
