Just bought this for my 2 year old daughter, as she's been admiring her older sister's Razor for a while and wanted her own. This one said ages 2-5 so I thought this one might work. She is on the petite side, a little under 33 inches and the handle bars are at the height of her neck so she had to reach up to grab them and if she puts one food down to move it, she has a hard time reaching the handle bars. Will look for something adjustable I guess or wait another year.

I bought this scooter for my son's 2 year birthday. He hopped on and immediately knew what to do. Within an hour of practicing, he was scooting along like a pro and doing fake "wipe outs." It's very stable and safe and also folds up nicely. The only thing that would make it a smidge better is if there was a handle for easy carrying in the folded position to make it easier to carry home from the park when my little guy is tired. Even my 5 year old daughter prefers this scooter because it's so stable.

We purchased this scooter for our son's 3rd birthday. He always gravitated towards this one whenever we went to the toy store and we are happy to report that he still loves it, once we got it home. Because it has 2 wheels in the front, as well as a larger base, it is much more stable than other similar models. Great product!

When scooter envy hits your 2+/- year old because they see their older sibling riding or a neighbor - this is a great option if... they haven't been able to master or never tried a older scooter (like the more typical 3 wheel one made for preschoolers - 2 wheels in back or the 2 wheel version). If they can do okay or well on the other, I agree with some of the neg comments that this truely beginner version won't measure up. It is slower to turn and made of plastic and slower to ride. But that is what makes it safer for a noviced 2 year old to ride. Our daughter just turned 2 and we got the pink version at ToysRUs for her - she loves it. She was envious of her brother's that is the preschool type but had trouble getting it to work for her at this age ( the steering to quick and the whole thing too wobbly for her ability). So when we saw this in the store and she rode it in circles around the bike stands for 40 min while we looked for a bike for our older son, we couldn't resist getting it. It is more challening for her on the sidewalk but she still is riding it. Hopefully she continues to enjoy it the whole season and if next year she wants more of a challenge we can get the preschool one. So - if you want it for a toddler great but if that child can already do the older scooter than stay away from this one. And although it is made of plastic - I will say this - Radio Flyer will replace any broken parts for free if you just call them. I had a handle on a bouncing pony bend because a child that was too old was too rough with it and they sent me a new one - no problem - no cost.

Initially, I wasn't too keen about a plastic scooter. However, I took a chance and am so glad I did. My 3 year old grandson is just delighted with this scooter and rides it constantly. It really is durable and has provided hours of fun for him. He rides it inside and out. He has learned to balance it and zooms along. He does have some trouble steering, but I don't know if that is a scooter issue or just something he still has to master. I enjoy watching him have so much fun and would recommend this without hesitation.

We purchased this for our two year old son because he is always trying to climb on skateboards, scooters, he just loves them. It is the perfect size for him and he loves it, a great beginner scooter for the little guys. Small enough that we even let him use it in the house!

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas. The first time she was scared of it but by the end of the day she had the skill down. Even her 5 year old sister likes to ride it. It's good for learning to ride a scooter. I got it because she's too young for the concept of pedaling a bike but I wanted her to have something for when I ride bikes with her sister.

My grandson,AJ, was thrilled to received his new scooter for Christmas. He wore out his other scooter because the quality was not very good and it almost broke upon getting it. I was very greatful that Amazon had the scooter because I was having problems finding it. Thanks, Amazon and thanks for the free shipping at the time. Happy New Year, you made a 4 year old very happy.

Ordered this scooter as a Christmas gift for my two-year-old nephew. After ordering, I was told he had received a scooter for his birthday in October. It wasn't the same kind so I decided to give it to him anyway. He LOVES this scooter! He rode it the same day and constantly asks for it. It's very sturdy and he rides it easily on his own. It's not going to go very fast and will not turn, but that's why it's so great for this age. He does not ride his other scooter. This is an excellent toy of good quality. I wish I had more children to order it for!

This is a nice, sturdy toy, but the steering is rather stiff. It doesn't have a good turning range. My older children have Razor scooters, and I wanted this for my two year old so he can be in on the fun, but he's finding it hard to use. Going straight is easy. The platform is large and easy to balance on. However, when he wants to turn, he winds up banging into the wall.
