My Daughter was 8 when I got this for here. She is now 10 and still enjoys it.

I bought this scooter for my 5 year old grandson. He loves it and handles it very well.

Hi Rose - Most Pro style scooters are for ages 8 yrs and up - it will be a bit too big/heavy for your 5yr. Customer Care - Universo Extremo Boards LINK to ALL SCOOTERS:

The manufactures age recommendation for this scooter F3 is 7 - 12 years of age.

3 to 4 year olds definetly. 5-7 year oks not as much. Then again a 23 year ild rides my daughter's with her and it doesnt seem to slow down much!

Tough call. It depends on her motor skills. Can she ride a 2 wheel bike w/o training wheels? Our 5 yr. old grandson is still using the scooter with 3 wheels. We bought this one for our 7yr. old grandson who learned to ride a 2 wheel bike at 5 and 1/2. He seemed to get the hang of an old razor scooter after that so we bought him this one for his 7th birthday. BTW - he loves it! Especially when it's just starting to get dark. But be forewarned - it sparks better on concrete than macadam.

Yes. Scooter is great for smaller child. My daughter is 3 and she scoots on it easily. Seems to be a stable product.

Please get this one... skip the first scooter; I found first scooter best suited for one to two year olds.

Depends on your 3 year old! My daughter started on a scooter before she turned 3, my son was 5 before he's get near it.

Sorry if this is a late response. We did not upgrade to a maxi (for our older kids) but we had the mini scooter from the time my youngest was 3 and it's been fine for her up until now and she's 5.5. So as long as you're okay with buying another one in a couple of years, it should be fine. We were/are very happy with the quality of the product and a friend wants to buy the scooter off me when my daughter's done because her nephew 1.5 yoa really enjoyed playing on it when we were at the park.

Hi This is a nice scooter which should last many years and your 6 year old would get many years out of this scooter. Being six he or she would start off slow and get more adventures as the older they get. It is a nice scooter. Each child has to learn balance. Good luck,

Hello! Sorry but I can not advise you if the scooter is or not appropriate for an 8 year old child ... my son is 5 years old and it is perfectly fine for him. I am not sure if the scooter will be suitable for him when he's older.

I bought it for a 3-year-old last summer! I think a step before learning to ride bicycles. Kids get so many mobility toys so quickly these days so I think 3/4 years old makes sense. I went for pedal and not with motor because I also believe kids should be using their legs to power toys and not get lazy with more expensive electric tractors etc

Hi, our son is 7. He has had this scooter for over a year now, and it is still just as awesome as it was the day he got it! He'll be using this until he decides he doesn't want to ride scooters anymore (if that ever happens). That speaks to how well-made these scooters are. Plus all of the parts are replaceable at a reasonable cost so should you ever have to replace something just go to the MaxiKick website and order it! We love these scooters -- definitely a good value for the money (we've purchased 3 so far)! My husband and I even enjoy taking them for a ride every now and then! ;)

I use my kids scooter (like this one) and I am older than 40 ;)If you plan on doing tricks, or need a heavier duty scooter, look at the Shaun White Scooter, although the handlebars come at a lower fixed length.

I don't believe it is aimed at any age group. Its a heavy duty scooter that we bought for our sons 10th birthday.

Hi, size wise I think you should be ok (unless your child is exceptionally tall, my 5 1/2 yrs old son is 46" and he can still ride his) but I don't know about level of interest. He used to ride his all the time but now all he wants to do is ride his bike. As for the scooter itself, I think it's great, very sturdy and smooth to ride.
