I really don't know, but my Daughter, the Mom of my 2 year old Grandson, specifically asked for this one so I bought and he loves it!

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.

My 2 year old son likes the Razor scooter. I don't know what the Radio Flyer one looks like, but I will say that the only problem with the Razor is that the two wheels are in the back- myson catches his heels on them from kicking. If the Radio Flyer has the two wheels in front, I suggest that one instead. Hope this helps.

I'm looking into getting this one with the 2 wheels in the BACK instead of the 2 wheels in the front like the Radio Flyer. We had a Radio Flyer one and I threw it in the garbage. It was impossible to steer so since the scooter wouldn't steer my children would lean into a turn causing the stupid thing to turn over. Every time! I had a 7, 5 and 2 year old all get hurt on the Radio Flyer one. My older kids love the regular razor so looking into this one for my 2 year old

The mini is great however at around 4 my older son graduated to the maxi- both are absolutely the best scooters for kids, easy to control, fun for "stunts" etc.

My grandson is 6 years old and he likes the Razor Flashrider. I am not familiar with the Huffy 20 inch Green Machine

Hello. My son is 4 and he loves this scooter. I bought the adult version for me and my wife. And we love them. The nice thing with this scooter is it will last and grow with your child as the arm support extends. The scooter has been ridden by my 12 year old nephew and he wants one. I have nothing negative to say about this scooter

We have both the RipRider and the FlashRider and our kids (ages 6 and 7-1/2) prefer the RipRider (blue one). The spins on the FlashRider are harder to control (it will spin around multiple times when you want to stop as opposed to the RipRider which basically will spin around fast once). The RipRider is a blast to ride! We are looking at buying a new Riprider. Our kids have used it so much it's wearing out! We never used the "flash bar" on the FlashRider so we can't speak to how well that works.

I don't know anything about the RF My First Scooter. What I can tell you is that three of my grandchildren have this one. Their ages are 2, 4, & 6. They all know how to use it and enjoy it.

Hey, yah the scooter is definetly good for young kids, I would probaly recommend a helmet and to watch them. Especially if the child has little to no expirence on a scooter of some sort.

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.

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! ;)

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,

It is smaller and the handle is shorter compared to a regular Razor scooter. I'd say the kid should be no more than 5ft tall.... I only bought it bec of the color. But yeah, my kid knew this is aSmaller scooter.

I am pleased with this one. My 2 1/2 y/o is hefty and this is wonderful. I like the way it turns. The foot platform is wide yet not too long. When I reviewed all the scooters, I went with this one because of the stability, flexibility, and durability according to other reviews. His mom loves this and he has two other siblings who weigh 75 and 90 and they ride on it and it is not affected. Hope this helps.

We have a green machine and love it! My son got it 4 xmas last yr, he was 7, and the only downside was I should have waited a yr. He could ride it, but another inch or two and he was jammin! Razor 4 the younger and green machine 4 8yo and up, due to height and coordination.

My son was 2.5 when we got him this last fall. His older sister was using one, so the learning curve wasn't too steep, but those were about his measurements I guess. Not sure what the 3 in 1 micro scooter is, but my son flies on this thing now...

My onion: yes. Think a 2 wheeled razor scooter is more appropriate for a 10 yr old. These are more associated with smaller children.

I bought the one for the cheaper one and it works great. I honestly think it comes down to toys and sounds. My son was just fine with his rocker with only a couple toys, he never knew the difference.

Best scooter for kids struggling with balance. It's extremely stable and turns easily by leaning to one side or another. Stands on its own as opposed to the razor or other 2 wheelers.
