Solid fun. 3 year old is too young, but learning. 5 year old won't get off the toy. Excellent for 4+ year old children.

My daughter(5) has so much fun riding her new scooter. Her mother who is maybe three times her weight got on it and demonstrated the art of scooting. No damage done -- this scooter is build solid!
I noticed that unlike a bicycle this scooter's turning radius is rather small. The beauty of this is that the child who rides this scooter will less likely have those catastrophic turn-the- handle-bar-one-way-fall-another-way (as on a bicycle) accidents.
None of the toy stores in my town carried this scooter; so I imagine my daughter is one of the few who owns one here. I would not hesitate to buy another scoooter from this company!

Although this is a self assembly unit, it can be built in about ten minutes without any problems. It is both well made and very robust.
There are many other makes of childrens scooters on the market and most of them are much cheaper, even as much as 60% cheaper, however I am a great believer in paying a little more for something that you know will do the job, and you get what you pay for.
Radio Flyer is a well known brand and they will always carry any spare parts you may ever need.
My choice is radio Flyer every time.
And my son loves it!

My son recv'd this scooter as a gift from grandparents. He initally rode it w/training wheels ON & his free leg/foot would usually get "tripped" up on the training wheels (they extend-out too far). The platform is too short (for my 5 yr old). My son recv'd three gashes/cuts to his ankles (on 3 different occasions) from the rear wheel screw/nut when trying to propel himself along (this is without trng wheels). He also got a cut on the inside part of his leg (near his ankle)from contact w/the metal sloping part (just behind the front wheel) when trying to lift it off/away a curb. After the 3rd incident, we dismantled it & threw it away.

My three-year-old niece loves her scooter so much that I'm buying one for my friend's four-year-old son.

This is a very durable toy, however the turning radius is awful and as a result, the scooter is not very functional. My 5 year old got it for his birthday, tried it out a couple of times and hasn't touched it since. When he tries to ride it, he can only go in a straight line since you can barely turn the handlebars. Also, the platform is very high and that makes it dangerous for a young child who is lifting their foot on/off the ground to push the schooter. I am very disappointed in this product.

I bought this scooter for my 4year old. It was very clunky and hard to handle. It sat unused for a year. I finally gave it away.

This scooter is like a miniature "Hummer." And it would be a great toy for my 4-year old son if he was riding through rough terrain or a battlefield. The toy is heavy, clumbsy, and not well not well-built. It was anything but fun and my 4-year old son quickly lost interest in it; I had to purchase another one. (My son was told that Santa made a mistake, and boy did I!) The Radio Flyer company makes great wagons and they, in my opinion, should stick to that market. They've totally missed the scooter market.

After purchasing this gift for my 3 year old nephews b-day, my sister-in-law informed me she thought he might be to young for it but upon receiving the gift, she emailed me telling me how wrong she was and had apparently mis-judged her son. She explained she couldn't get him off of it and he loved it. I have since received two videos via email with him riding his scooter around and he is so happy and seems to be having a lot of fun.

This scooter has the quality of a radio flyer, well built. However, it isn't very good when maneuvering turns as my 4 1/2 year old gets fustrated when she wants to turn with it. Very limited in the movement.
