Does the handle bar tilt or steer to navigate this scooter?

Hi Amy,Thank you for contacting us! In response to your inquiry, kiddos "lean to steer" aboard the Micro Mini. This means that they use their body weight to steer (many kiddos describe as "steering with their tummy") rather than simply turning the handlebar as one does aboard a bike. This not only allows kiddos to gradually get the hang of the scooting ways, it is also what makes the scooter *fun* to ride as it almost feels like surfing the sidewalk. Please let us know if you have any other questions-- we have a toll-free telephone number, 888-236-5657, and are open Mon-Fri from 9am to 5pm Eastern Standard Time (EST). Cheers!

For a scooter, a child quite a bit lean in the direction of rotation, holding on to the handle. So it turns out that the tilting handle scooter turns (easier to manage the entire body). Hope I could help you

The child leans slightly to steer. It's pretty intuitive! They catch on quickly.

Manually they steer backwards at slow motion/speed. I found that lift up on the handle bar and turn was easier than backing up. You take the chance of running over your good foot or losing you balance when backing up.

No swivel to turn left and right. Perhaps omission of that feature is the 'improvement' in this version.

Scooters are made to "wiggle" a bit where the bars+fork meet the deck. Pull up on the handlebars, if they aren't secured properly to the fork then you may have to tighten the clamp. Always refer to the instructions that are provided in the user manual before using the product.

No cannot steer with one hand. I bought for granddaughter and I went for a visit and tested it and the steering is awkward even hard to steer it straight There would be no way anyone could jog using this. Very disappointed in the steering mechanism. For the money seems ok on quality but useless for a walk. For baby it 12 month I would purchase one if those first step cars. They easy to push If you want to turn this bike that was nearly impossible.

all you need to do is screw on the handlebar. there's three different kinds of ways to ride the scooter with seat in or just circle handlebar or the strait handlebar.so easy and takes about 10 minutes do you just need an Allen wrench and you are set

The lever on the left allows you to "rock" back when it's up and doesn't not rock when it's down. That's the only tilt I'm aware of

Can not lean or tilt forward or back , but can move the whole seat up 2 notches or back whit bar that is attached to the bottom of bike, note: when I got it, wires on the handle bar where cut amazon replaced no problem,worked great until a couple of weeks ago small bearings started to fly out of the tension wheel . sadly 30 days are up and I'm stuck with a big paper weight. up to this product everything I bought from amazon worked great.

No, not really. Just goes straight. Maybe you could steer with hands or something but if that is important would look elsewhere.

The handlebar does not adjust. This bothered me at first, as I'm rather short (5'2") but I've gotten used to it and don't mind at all now, especially as I can steer it one-handed. The stroller is fantastic. I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Yes, this scooter has forward & reverse. You control it with 2 little levers on the handlebars. The Right hand controls "Forward" and the Left hand controls "Reverse". There are also speed controls which are very useful. Slow speed is great for backing up. Slow is also good for maneuvering through tight turns or going down inclines. Fast speed is quick! This is a zippy little machine.

Obviously pulling the handle up with raise & lower. To operate the tilt, pull the handle straight out horizontally. This will allow you to rock it. Bring the seat back to an upright position, push the handle back in horizontally and it will lock. Hopefully this helps you!

Yes. It's adjustable. However, it's not easy to assemble and adjust, and I believe many people did it wrong. That may be one of the reasons the other answer said it's hard to steer.

Yes it swivels however I sent mine back because the cheap plastic handle broke the first time I used it.

The steering handle moves the front ac and wheels. Turn handle right wheels turn right. Basically works just like a little bike. My nephew loves it.
