Product Description

Editorial Review

The three-wheel Preschool Scooter is a good solution for toddlers who, watching older siblings, have contracted a bad case of scooter envy. In front, two 4-inch urethane wheels are placed eight inches apart for stability; at the back, there's a 3-inch wheel and a "spoon" brake just like on those metal "big kid" scooters. This vehicle is mostly plastic, but sturdy enough for the job, with comfortable foam grips. A cleverly designed "lean-and-steer" mechanism at the front axle makes it significantly easier to control than some three- or four-wheel toddler scooters. This one resists the tendency to tip over when going around corners. --Richard Farr

5.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY Scooter for a 3 year old!, August 22, 2001

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this scooter today for my 3 year old. He had a skateboard with handle bars on it and it was ackward and dangerous so we went out to look at the 3 and 4 wheeled scooters designed for younger kids. We checked the "grow to pro" scooter as well as the "liquid metal" and "e-balance" scooter and the hot wheels 3-wheeled scooter. This one was the easy choice. My 3 year old son got on it in Toys R Us and was gone like a rocket. He can steer it easily and the handle bars are the perfect height. Maximum weight is about 70 pounds so it can't hold the bigger kids but my 3 year old son can now keep up the 10 year old kids on their scooters!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone asks me where I got it!, August 17, 2002

By	"[e-mail]" (Clearwater, FL USA) - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This little scooter is my best purchase of the year, I bought multiples of this scooter for all my little kids to have at all our different houses (city, beach and mountain locations), and my older child (7) tries to steal it from the younger ones because it's so much fun! (Even though he has his own "big boy scooter"). This scooter with the two wheels in the front has allowed my little ones who started using the scooter at ages 2 and 4 to practice their balance skills and feels like real big boys. It looks cool, you can lean into your turns with the special way that the wheels bend with your weight. You can take a break from pushing and just stand on it with both feet on the runner, and it won't fall down. We have tried other "training" scooters with two wheels in the back and one in front...and they are very hard to handle and make turns on. This little scooter is the best. It doesn't fold, but it fits easily wherever you want to take it or store it. The boys love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing *****, September 18, 2001

My 3-year old daughter and I were at a birthday party when she started playing with another party guest who had a Micro Mini. My first instinct was to tell her that she couldn't ride the scooter and that it would be too dangerous. Instead of telling her that, I just told her to be careful. She got on and to my surprise she was riding like a big kid. It was truly amazing. Since then I have ordered one for my daughter.

I didn't realize that my 3-year old could safely ride a scooter by herself.
