Product Description
Designed for kids ages 3-5, the mini kick is the quality choice in children's scooters.
The mini kick won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold and the Platinum Award Seals for Best Toy in 2009. The mini also was named 'Best Pre-School Scooter' by Toy Report and 'Best Outdoor Toy' by Learning Express Stores.
What makes the mini unique is its 'lean-and-steer' design, which allows children to use their body weight to control the steering, giving them the feeling of 'surfing' the sidewalk, as they curve from right to left, almost like a skateboard. The lean-and-steer adds an element of fun and control that young children love.
The mini's 3 wheels provide greater stability, making it easier for even the youngest kids to learn to ride. Great for their balance and coordination.
The wheels are Italian-made of highest quality PU, especially for micro. They provide a smooth glide, making the mini almost effortless to ride. The wheels also make for a quiet ride, a joy for parents and children alike.
The mini can be ridden inside as well as outside, because the polyurethane wheels won't leave black marks on the floor.
The deck is low-to-the-ground and large enough for both feet, making it easy for young children to hop on and off and to switch from pushing, to just enjoying the ride.
The 'spoon' brake at the back adds additional control - kids like the control and also because it looks just like the big kids' scooters.
For parents, the mini scooter's light weight (only 3.3lbs), means it's easy to pick up and carry when need be, and makes it easier for the kids themselves to pick up and maneuver.
Note: - the mini can hold weights up to 60lbs, when used for cruising, but was not designed for jumps or tricks.
For a scooter designed to do jumps and tricks, please see the amazing mx park stunt scooter!

Great scooter August 17, 2010

I was a little unsure before purchasing this scooter because it is expensive. We bought this for my daughter's 3rd birthday and are glad we did. She absolutely loves it, and we are amazed at how well she gets around with it. It was very easy to put together, took only a minute. It is very durable and moves around great. I think this is a perfect scooter for a young child, and I also expect that since it is so durable it should last awhile. I am hoping her brother who is 2 years younger will be able to use it in a few years when she is done with it.
 it's the best scooter for preschooler August 14, 2010

My son 4 years old has no difficulty figuring out how to ride it. The steering and balance mechanisms are of superp quaLity. I wish I bought it when he was 3 years old because the scooter will be too small for him in a year. I wish we could use it longer for the price that we had to pay.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this Scooter July 23, 2010

We have had this scooter for about 6 months. We purchased it through another website for half the price. Our now 2 and a half year old has been riding this since he just turned two and took to it very quickly. It is a very easy to ride scooter and he keeps up with his two older siblings and other neighborhood children very well. He looks like a dynamo on the thing, hard to believe he is two. By far his favorite toy and we use it everyday weather permitting. I had to replace the rear wheel and the brake for a total cost (with shipping) of $15.99, but it was easy to do.
We have the orange (which is now my 2 yr olds favorite color) and though it has faded a tiny bit, it still looks good after 6 months of hard use and storage on our porch or garage.
I recommend this scooter for anybody looking for one for a preschooler.
Perfect for the scooter novice child! July 8, 2010
Mom of 2 kidlets (Riverside, California United States)
I cannot sing enough praises about this scooter! We gave it to my daughter for her 4th birthday. She is not particularly coordinated, but spry and energetic so we thought it was worth a try. She absolutely loves the scooter and tells me so regularly. I bought this scooter after reading many online reviews and agree whole-heartedly it is a great product. Assembly was a snap (literally, just snap the handle bar in place) and the quality is outstanding, the parts are really made to last. It is easy to ride, my daughter was successful after 2 or 3 tries. After spending a bit more time she understood how to push on each side of the handle to steer so she could maneuver down our curved walkway. Tonight she rode it for 2 out of 3 miles for our evening walk! She asks to ride it all the time, it is so cute and I love that it is something active for her to do. Well worth the price to have something so well made that is easy to use. I think this will be a great transition to a razor or more advanced scooter and would recommend it to anybody.
Great for my 2 and 3 1/2 year olds! May 27, 2010
minibus (Seattle, WA USA)
We bought two of these scooters for my 2 and 3 1/2 year old (the orange and the aqua ones). They LOVE them! They had NO problem getting on them and scooting away. The scooters are the perfect size and will probably last for the next couple of years in terms of size. They are very stable and setup consists of taking two parts out of the box, putting the pole into the base, and ... nothing. That's it. I would definitely recommend these scooters for this age range, from 2 up to maybe 4 or 5 years old, depending on how athletic and how big your child is. I wouldn't recommend it beyond that age range, it's just a small, starter scooter.
