She quickly mastered it and flew all around London with great ease. She easily could control it and had no issues carrying it herself. Just after our son turned 2, he started asking to ride her scooter. By the time he was 2 and 3 months, we had to buy a new scooter to avoid severe conflict at our house. We upgraded our then 4 and 3 month old daughter to the maxi even though they warned it would be hard for someone under 5 to control.

Dad can also easily carry both scooters to and from school twice a day. Both kids are amazing just a few months later...we've had a few falls as they compete to be the fastest but it has been a life saver for us.
A few needed accessories are the following - not posting helmet and other protection items as that goes without saying!
This bell is easy for them to ring when coming up on folks and isn't as obnoxious as so many other options out there - like the horn!
Our daughter needed this as it is dark when she gets out of school. It really does help but our son's broke just a few weeks in as he isn't the most careful with his scooter and he smashed it and the cover broke making it dangerous.

It sounds lame but these pulling strings are really helpful going up the hill as bending over to the height of the scooter isn't the easiest on the back.

Happy Scootering....
I have loved watching the scooter videos of your kids and how fast they go! It's hilarious! I will have to have Logan try one of these out. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at getting one of these! Thanks for the tips on accessories too!
ReplyDeleteWhen Stacie says that they had no trouble learning how to ride their scooters, she isn't kidding! It's something you can't believe. Even though they are "foreigners", they have all the locals beat when it comes to riding their scooters. Stacie, I think you ought to post a video on this blog post!
