Hi Joann, the Pilot Stick is not included with the scooter but is available for separate purchase. Swapping out the T-bar for the Pilot Stick is quite easy and only takes a matter of seconds :) --david@microkickboard.com // 888-236-5657

Yes it's very easy to use. We did watch a video for our first bracelet and my daughter was fine afterwards. I want to say she was 8 when she got

No a bar is not necessary. Just follow the instruction sheet and you will have no problem

Possibly with adult supervision. It's small but still has weight to it so I'm not sure how effective a 5 year old would be with it. Then again, only you know how advanced your child is.

It comes with the bar you see in the picture... this bar attaches to the handlebar stem in the front and the seat stem in the back. You do not want it to be slanted at all, as this would result in an uncomfortable ride for your child.

Yes, very cool little toy, i have 13-8- and 5 year old children and they all really enjoy playing with it. Not really strong enough to hurt anything but easy to learn how to fly.

I agree with the other two comments about being to difficult for a four year old to operate. I also think the Syma S107 would be a good choice (I have one myself). As the child's skill builds in time they will be able to move up to a fixed pitch 4 channel like the V911. If not the Syma S107, lAmazon sells many coaxial 3 channel which will be much easier to operate .

It is ok, i have a 5 year old and he used it a couple of times. I wouldnt recommend for regular use, at least without the accesory with wheels

the motion may take a bit for her to figure out, but it is relatively easy, my concern would be her length. Even with the short bar in place, a three year old is pretty small. I have 5 kids and they ALL love it. I am 6' and I can ride it, so much fun.

I would go for it, we bought it for the girls when they were 15months. There are no small part that can fall off, only if the bars are broken, then there are small bits.

I've never seen one. Also, baby equipment should be as safe as possible, which means that you should use things as directed and as intended. Don't risk safety to save a few bucks. Its worth the ease of mind.

I bought two for my grand-kids (3 and 4) who are fairly healthy but they've quickly outgrown them. They're great for kids to get over their initial fear of 2-wheel bikes since their legs act as bike stands. They're definitely too small for a normal 5 year old - the seat can only be safely adjusted to 18" off ground. However, they're very sturdy - could easily handle adult weight. Hope this helps.

I hot it for my son who was turning 6. There is plenty of room to adjust the bar when he gets taller. The platform is also much larger than the micro mini. I even got on it myself and ride around the house after assembling it. Very easy to ride.

My 8 year old uses the bar all the time. Moving it is not easy because if you dissassemble it you can end up stripping the wooden bar.

I think it would have been fine for my children when they were 10. It is not a toy, but it is sturdier than some of the cheaper ones. May be a good lesson and it is simple to use.

My son is 8 and it perfect for our bumpy backyard . Easy to handle like the regular razor. Bar does not telescope up or fold down, I see that as a plus , less to break

The bars are not straight up and down, they make for upside down U's. My son got his on his on his third bday, but we haven't had any issues. The space between bars varies though.
