My son is about to turn 4 and is very physical/coordinated. Would this work for him? Afraid the 3 wheel would be too baby-ish for him.

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.

He's 3 going on 4? I think this might be too big for him, honestly. My daughter got this when she was just turning 7. Have him check a 3-wheel out at say, Walmart or Target first, and see how he does. If you think it's still too baby-ish, I would definitely go with the Razor, it's good, sturdy quality..

My grandson, for whom this was a gift, is four and he rides it like a circus performer. He had an older brother to copy though. I believe it will eventually work well with a young 4-year old. The handle bars are adjustable so can be short. And the scooter is only as fast as the rider chooses to make it.

I personally would wait for 5-6 because the scooter is very fast. Not sure if he's a tall 4. This should be taken into consideration also.

Asami, Absolutely! I purchased this fir my 5 year old grandson for his 5th birthday and he did just fine. Nice and wide for better balance. He got this on his actual fifth birthday took off and said, " I couldn't do this when I was four. " one day made all the difference, I guess. Anyway, if he does not have balance issues he should do just fine I, however, was never able. Good luck and enjoy watching him. Tell him if it flies off into street not to run after it 'til he is certain it is safe. It is very sturdy, too! Hope I helped. Kameel

From 2 and 3 fits perfect.. depend on the size of the kid it maybe for 4 .. My son is 3 and a half and still used but now he use a bike with wheels to.. For that age it would be one of the best toys you can buy

While my children were not that young when we purchased it, we have had my niece in it when she was 15 months. The seat belts are adjustable and I would think the only issue would be to make sure their necks are strong enough to handle a little juggling. Even with my four year old in it, the attachments tends to sway back in forth at times. Honestly, one of the best purchases for us though. Best of luck!

I think a 4 year old would fit. We put our twins in here and they are average sized and almost 5. It's a lot to steer (I really wish it had a pivoting front tire), and it is almost maxed out but weight-wise it can handle it. I think a 4 year old and smaller kiddo would be fine. I would look into how it would steer with it being unbalanced with different weight children as it was hard enough when the weight was completely even. This is a great stroller for kids comfort, just not for a parent if you have to steer turns or curves very much.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

My son was 2.5 when he started riding it and he still enjoys riding it at 4. We will be buying him a pedal bike for his 5 birthday but this bike has helped him gain confidence while learning balance. The first floor in our house is very spacious so once he learned how to balance and control it then we let him ride it in the house over the winter.

Yes. Our 3 year old used it. She is almost 4 and has moved up to the ones with 2 wheels.

This was perfect for my grandson who used it until about 4 1/2 and then moved easily to a small two wheeler with training wheels. If your daughter is petite, she may have an issue reaching pedals on a trike. There is a little learning curve with toddlers being able to move in a forward direction on the scoot-about...my grandson found it easier to push backwards, at first.

We bought it for my sons 3rd birthday. It's perfect for him...he is old enough to comprehend the driving, shifting and steering. Our neighbors all drive it and they range from 3yrs old to 8yrs old. Some are bigger than others but still play nicely with it with stuff legs. I would say the best age is 3-5 or 6yrs old depending on size of the child.

My 3.5 year old used/uses this bike regularly. You will need to keep the training wheels on for that age.

I have only used 4 wheelers, but they have those baby strollers with 3 for walks with babies...for people who exercise, so I'm assuming 3 wheels would be good. If it's a price issue, I'm sure either works fine

I agree with C. Kim. I don't know that my 5 yo is getting much in the form of education from this game as she knows her letters, shapes and numbers pretty well (but I'm sure the repitition doesn't hurt and she doesn't seem to mind it) She does however, just fit on the bike at the highest seat height. That said, both my 3 yo and 5 yo love this thing. They don't even care if the bike is hooked up to the TV, they will sit and watch one of their TV shows and just pedal away. I can see that my 3yo's coordination has improved as she's gotten better at steering and pedaling, and the joystick games are helping with eye hand coordination. Sure it's got some downfalls, nothing's perfect, but overall it's a good toy that gives the kids a chance to exercise indoors during the winter months, improve their coordination and educational skills, and have a great time doing it. I do suggest you have your child sit on one at a toy store to see if it will fit his/her size before buying it.

Yes, I actually bought this for my almost 3 year old son for Christmas. He will be 3 the end of May, he can pedal it as long as he has the seat completely forward and is sitting on edge of it. He loves it!

Hi! I bought it for my son who is 3.5 years old and he loves this very much. If your child is into Hot Wheel Cars and other varieties of trucks and cars I can imagine he'd have a good bit of fun with this. All levels of the Rig adjust to lower and off load the cars, it's well made, fun, great for imagination. I can easily see at that age though - depending - that it could be an item easily grown out of. Each parent knows their child best. The toy as I said is fantastic-O though. Hope this helps. Maybe something like a remote controlled car or some of those larger monster Hot Wheels Trucks would be better suited if you find this isn't to your liking. Good luck shopping. :) Hi!

Yes for sure, our son is 5 and tall for his age and he rides on stand all the time. Steering takes a little more effort but still easy to push and turn. Yes, is should fit (has in ours) but bit doesn't fold down compactly so takes up room.
