What age can use this mini kickback scooter
1190502
Hi Maria, I purchased the mini kick for my (then) 3 year old. He's now 7 and his little brother is 2 years old and they both use the scooters quite frequently. We had ours for 4 years and it has been used A LOT. After constant use the brake finally broke off last year but my kids just step on the wheel and it still stops just as fast.

A friend's daughter, who was the 4th child, was riding with confidence at 18 months. For her age is was surprising how quickly she would ride. My son who is more cautious in nature was interested and coordinated enough by 2 1/2.

I got one for my 2 1/2 year old and she is on the smaller size and she had it down in a week.

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.

Certainly by 3. Matthew received it for his third birthday and took about ten minutes and one fall to master it. Be sure to purchase a good kids helmut and pads for knees and elbows. both are available at Amazon.

If your kid is 3 or older I would get the bigger maxi it has a bigger board, but the lowest night is the same as the mini and it will last longer. I brought on of each for my 2 1/2 yr o,d and 4 1/2 yr old and if I had seen them in person firtpst I would have got two of the bigger Maxi ones.

Perfect for ages 2-5. My 6 yr old still uses it, but she's now comfortable with her sibling's maxi kick on a low setting too.

I don't know the recommended age, however I made the purchase for my two year grandson. He has driven it since. Hope this helps.

My daughter is eight years old and she have problem with balance and this scooter is great for her because she kicks just a little bit to start but what you can do is push the scooter and you can start it that way too. we like it a lot and it is safe to drive.

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.

It says for ages 1-3. I bought for my 1 year old grandson and he's big for his age. He'll be able to ride it for a few more years. He loves it!!! His older sister 4 who is a little small for her age rides it and looks like she'll be able to ride it for some time as well. Hope that helps.

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

The Mini Kick is also known as the Mini Micro - it is the quality choice in 3-wheel scooters for young children ages 3-5. That being said, we picked this up for our two year old and he does fine on it. =)

The manufactures age recommendation for this scooter F3 red & black is 7 - 12 years of age. The maximum weight is 220 lbs. The other models F1 would be ages 5 - 9 (110 lbs max weight) and the F5 would be ages 8 - 12 (250 lbs max weight).

Starting with 2 and up to 15, my youngest was 1 year when she started riding it but the older kids gave her a better idea of how to use it earlier than most kids would figure it out. I ride it on occasion and I'm 40.

For me the deck of the scooter is good for the small kids up to 3 to 5 years.

It depends on your child's ability. Neighbor's son who is five have been riding on our scooter and he handles it well.

I just asked my son the same question. We bought the mini micro for our 3 year old granddaughter and she loves it. We push our 1 1/2 year old grandson on it and I offered to buy the 3-1 but my son felt that the little one will be able to use the scooter alone soon.

Age requirements are strictly a function of local laws, rules, regulations, etc. Consult your local police or state department of motor vehicles for guidance applicable to your specific situation. All that said, if there are no laws/rules/regulations governing legal age requirements for someone to operate this 1000 watt scooter, I'd recommend kids be 10 or older with appropriate safety gear and adult supervision. My son was able to safely operate our scooter when he was 10. Use common sense, too; if your child is 10, but not very physically coordinated, then you might want to rethink the situation. This scooter is capable of moving average adults at ~20mph, so smaller kids will zip along even faster.

I would say 2 to 5 years old but it also depends on the size of the child and if they need training wheels. My son was 3 when we got this for him and he quickly grew out of it because of his height.

We bought one for our two year old grandson, and he was able to make it work. I would say it's for age 2-5

I bought it for my sons 1st birthday. He pushes the buttons and plays with the digger. He hasn't ridden on it yet without help. I would say the "recommended" age would be at least 2, maybe 3. Hope this helps!

Definitely go with the scooter with the t-bar that increases with height. Not the mini...the regular micro kick with tbar is one of the best and my son is tall too so it adjusts with height. It's worth every cent. It's also one if the scooters all kids use in nyc at these ages and older. It's all you see!
