This is the best thing we bought for our young son. We got him started on it at 18months. With a little practice, he started riding straight lines and then only left turns (he pushes with his left foot). By 2 years old he was an expert with great balance and turning left and right. He's 2.5 years old now and very good on this thing holding his leg out to make sharper turns. My wife and I bought a micro Monster scooter for adults to chase him on. It has become a fun family activity.

This is a great quality scooter and worth the higher price point however my new scooter arrived used/dirty. There was clumps of dirt on the handles and foot board and the wheels are scuffed. It must have been previously used/returned. The cardboard packing had already been torn - the scooter was just lying loose inside the box, the manuals and documents refolded incorrectly. I purchased the Max version of this for my 5 year old earlier this year and there was a clear difference in packing and that was obviously brand new and clean.

Though just like the Max version, this Mini seems well made, durable and smooth. I'm not a fan of returning items so I cleaned it up and it appears to be aligned with no structural issues (at least I hope not) so I will keep it as a Christmas gift for my 18 month old. Though I find it extremely frustrating to purchase a product that the sellers didn't take the time and attention to inspect, clean and repack correctly. It makes me wonder if there could be damage I'm not aware of until my child uses it. When it comes to children's equipment, I would hope vendors would put a bit more attention to what they are sending out.

This is our second Mini scooter; we loved the Micro Mini we had before. However, this one was defective as it was impossible to disassemble (the button on the bottom of the board would not engage.) We were on our way to the airport and had to have it in two pieces to bring on board, so we took it apart and fixed the issue instead of sending back to Amazon. However, in the process, the height control button stopped working.... Long story short, the scooter is wobbly now, and we will have to invest in another one after only a couple of months of use.

Best decision i made in recent times when it comes to kids sports. I had a razor kiddie scooter before gifted to me. So never bothered to buy anything else, especially this one as it costed a lot. But I realized my baby girl, 3 yrs old, was never really getting into it. She would stand on it for a few mins and then get off. I kept thinking all the while its the age. But for some reason I decided to try this one out after seeing good reviews, and boy oh boy what a good call was that. I got the purple color and it looks fabulous.
Day 1 was a little difficult for her and she tried to turn the handle and it'd never turn. Interesting !! But the best part was she didnt wanna get off of it. She kept trying for atleast 15 mins which was way more than the total time she ever spent on her previous scooter. And come Day 2, she already understood the lean to steer methodology, with some training of course. Now after a week, she's got it all, she can brake when needed, lean both sides, make an O. I love the concept behind the scooter, I think its the right way to teach kids how to ride a scooter. Great for teaching them balance. Great for their learning towards skateboard. Very sturdy built and looks like a million bucks ! Totally worth every penny. I originally bought the one with most reviews and turned out that it was an older model with one height. Returned and got this one as it was adjustable and better to gift it later to a younger child. Both are great, but this is the latest design so I'd recommend all to go for this one.
Now I have 2 of these sitting in my house, the purple and a green one for my son who's the same age as my daughter. Love both colors !!

Got this for my two year old for her birthday in march. We practiced in the hallway of our apartment until she got more confident and within a month she was scootering like a pro. It's super sleek and well made, sturdy and easy to wipe down. And she loves riding it. We even bought a 2nd one to have at grandmothers home. Very much worth the price because she will use it for years.
