My 6 year old has a regular Razor scooter and uses it all the time. Would this be a "step down" in age-appropriateness?

My 9 year old really can carve on these scooters. They handle in a different way to the one wheel front and back scooters. I am 48 and want the adult version. They are more stable and provide more confidence. I would get a long board skate board but would end up in hospital. They are well made and I would suggest only this brand.

It's not a step down, it's just different (smoother ride, faster). My daughter likes the maxi scooter better, her Razor now goes pretty much unused.

Not at all, my daughter is now 8 and she uses it all the time and it's adjusted to the minimum setting. I use it from time to time when I play with her. It's a great product and everyone asks me where I got it from.

I don't think so. They operate in two different ways. The Micro scooter here relies on the child leaning and developing balance to turn the scooter: the front wheels/handles do no turn. It operates more like a stable skateboard with a handle. We feel this has helped our child get a better grasp of the balancing necessary for riding a bike as well. The Razor relies more on turning the front handle and wheel to negotiate a turn. The child has to balance to keep the scooter upright, but going around a turn is a different type of movement.

I don't know what a razor is but my 7 year old grand daughter loves it. The handle adjust so it can grow with her? Would get it again in a minute!

I would say if you want a scooter--get one with adjustable height handles. Can adjust the height. I cannot remember if this scooter has adjustable handles.If this does not have adjustable height handles...do not buy! He will be hunched over! I have 2 Razor scooters...both for my 9 year old son...who is 52 or 53 inches...smidge over 4 feet and even he complains the handle bars need to be higher.Try the Y Fliker. It has high weigh limit...lots of fun/great exercise! Or get a scooter that has handle bars you can adjust the height on....

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.

I would not recommend this scooter for your son. Solely because of his height. The bars are on the shorter side. You can get taller bars for it, but by the time you do that you might as well have just bought a scooter that was taller to begin. I recommend a phoenix, blunt or MGP scooter for someone that tall.

No. I wouldn't recommend this scooter. It's a horrible ride. Screws don't stay tightened and it rattles when riding on it. A razor from Walmart is better then this junk. Way over priced

the front bar is not adjustable and does not fold down for storage. I think that is what makes it a "pro" scooter....it is stronger or less flimsy. I think most scooters have fairly standard length handle bar posts. This scooter should work for a 7 - 18 year old. (both my 8 and 16 year olds can ride it....as can I...even though I don't like bending down to reach the handle bars)

My son is 3.5 years old, but he can use these scooters. He feels he needs to do whatever his older brothers are doing, and masters quickly before his age thanks to his brothers!. In the beginning he fell a lot, but mastered quickly. My son is very active and a climber, so he is very coordinated as well. the 3 wheel ones were boring already when he was about 2 years old... I guess it depends on the child, and you need to pay close attention so he wont hit hard if he falls, especially learning process, wear helmet etc. Id get the razor A scooter, and try . If you feel he is not ready for it, then you can put it away for while and take it out later to try again. My son is 3.5 years old, but he can use these scooters.

This is a "very" age appropriate scooter. I would rate the Fliker slightly higher, because it mostly like would be useful as my son grows older. The PowerWing has a lower age and weight limit when compared to the Fliker.

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 purchased the razor junior. Both my 3 year old grandson and 19 month grandaughter are able to ride it. It looks similar to the one the older boy next door has which probably wouldn't matter to a girl. The sparkle scooter lists a heavier weight.

Hi I bought for my 2/5 years nephew and he is loving this scooter. He is playing a lot and he is not having any problem.

I have the adult version as with anything I would go with the manufacturer's recommendations. there is a learning curve but if your child is on a push scooter and doing well I bet they would get control of it fairly quickly. it's not good for going uphill.

Depends on how tall the 2 year old is and how much coordination he/ she has. I gave this to my granddaughter who was a small 5 yr. old and she has a wonderful time with it. I gave my 3 yr old granddaughter a smaller scooter with 2 wheels in the back. The front wheels work better as the back wheels get in the way when pushing, but I think the shorter handle works better for the 3 yr. old and she has learned to negotiate the back wheels. The best thing about the Maxi Micro is the way it corners. So the 2 yr. old may be able to handle it but may take a while to get used to it. I would wait until the child is older or go with a smaller scooter.

My oldest son who is 11 bought this scooter this fall. He loves it!! He has two younger brothers who are 9 & almost 8 (January birthday). Both of them are able to ride it. I am a bit nervous about the youngest one, so I only let him ride on it if I am outside with them. They wear their helmets and the younger ones drive pretty safely. The 11 year old is the "wild one" that I have to keep on. It seems pretty safe to me. I don't let my youngest go down our driveway. We live in the country and our driveway is long and fairly steep. Hope this helps :-)

When my son was 8 he easily could ride my rockboard scooter. But with anything new it takes practice. I would advise if you get one to make sure to keep all the screws and bolts tight. they tend to loosen when used a lot. Not very good for a place with a lot of hills.

My son is almost three now, and started fighting for it with his older brother half a year ago. Perhaps four months ago the older brother got a larger scooter(from same company), and the mini kick is now his. So I think he can usefrom age two-and-a-half.

no its not, but I do have three grandchildren with this scooter and their ages and heights vary.
