These days my older son and his mini micro scooter are really best buddies; they go everywhere together, and that’s fine with me because it noticeably speeds up our walks.  He even takes it to school, then parks it in the front-yard together with other kids’ bicycles and trikes.  So cute! He received it as a gift for his second birthday but he was a bit scared at first and so it took him a while to warm to it and to get skilled enough to actually enjoy riding it.  Admittedly it’s designed for children from 3 to 5 years old.
This scooter is ingeniously built with 2 wheels at the front, giving it a stability way superior to those scooters that have 2 wheels at the back. Even the steering system is brilliant — no turning handle but a T-bar that steers using body pressure.
I can’t recommend it enough to parents who are looking into buying a scooter for their kids.  I really can count on my fingers the times my son has fallen down out of countless hours of riding. And believe me, my son is no athlete (yet)…. let’s just say that social skills is where he excels!
