My son just turned 4 and he weighs 41 lb. Should I get a mini or maxi kick? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

My son got the mini when he was 3 & the maxi when he turned 5. For transition to the maxi it was more about his height & his ability to maneuver the mini. The maxi is more sturdy & has a height adjustable handle so I expect him to be able to use it a lot longer. This is s great product, so you'll definately get your money's worth out of it.

My son is 3.5 and about 40" tall. He got the maxi kick last year for Christmas at 2.5 and has been riding it since then. He does very well on it. Flies down driveways, uses the brake, turns, etc. I personally would get the maxi since it will grow with your son. I believe they both start at the same height, and although the maxi is a little bit heavier, it will last longer since the handlebar is adjustable.

Maxi. My daughter rode the maxi at age 3 and it's still big enough for my 7 yr old. Easily adjustable for height.

The 4 year old will probably be a little big for this stroller. I would choose the City mini over this. Easier to fold & maneuver.

I found this information on the the kickboardusa.com site, Mini or Maxi? - To choose between Maxi or Mini kick scooter, consider the size of the child in addition to their age. The Maxi is designed for children ages 6-11, up to 120 lbs, but may be suitable for a younger child depending on their weight and coordination. If a child weighs 35 lbs, they will certainly enjoy the Mini, but may be able to ride the Maxi. That being said, the Mini's lighter weight does make it more easily maneuverable and also helps build confidence, both of which can add to the overall enjoyment. The Maxi weighs just 1.5 lbs more than the Mini and its deck is 1 inch wider and almost 2 inches longer; this makes the Maxi a little more challenging to control, maneuver and pick up than the Mini. The Mini's steering bar is fixed at a height of 24 inches above the deck, the same as the lowest setting on the Maxi. The Maxi's steering bar extends an additional 12 inches, allowing it to 'grow' with the child. - I hope this helps.

Depends upon the child... probably the smallest 0 or 00. Smaller is better than bigger. Too big will hamper their kicks.

I bought the Med for an 8 year old and it was fine for him. I would think the small is your only choice but then it might be too large for her right now. I hope this helps.

I would think so =) My cousin who is 9 bounced on both the Medium size and the Adult one and had a blast .. I would suggest the adult one...they are such much fun everyone was fighting over them especially the adults where pushing the kids off them..;p

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.

My grandson is turning ten and granddaughter is seven, and both have been using the maxi. The handlebar raisesAs they have gotten bigger, but goes low enough for a four year old. If you think he will continue to use it for yearsI suggest the maxi.

My son has always been big for his age. We never had issue and recently passed it along to a friend as it was a lot of fun for M. It's definately sturdy, but don't remember exactly how much he weighed. Sorry

My son is 5 and weighs 39 lbs. We actually upgraded to this one from the mini because he was outgrowing it. It should fit her perfectly, because you can actually adjust the handle bar for different heights. Additionally, I think both the mini and the maxi are the most fantastic scooters! Both of my kids love them, and they weather the test of time amazingly! Hope this helps!

My son is four years old and height 41.85, I got the Batman Muscle Chest Child Costume on size small and it was perfect for him. I ordered the size medium which is for ages 6/7 because I don't like him to use tight clothes and it was to big for him. I think the medium size will be good enough for your son or try the large size, it will be a little bit big but it will be ok.

Unless he has VERY good balance compared to other 4 year olds he will have way more fun with the Maxi. Earlier this year we bought a razor for our 7 year old and the maxi for our 5 year old. We haven't regretted the decision.

We bought two of these for our 2 1/2 year old twin boys for Christmas, and they love them. They are bigger than they look, and they go fast (I have to run to keep up with them). Unless your boy is tall for his age, I would recommend getting a smaller one or holding off 6 months or so for this big of a quad. My boys started riding smaller quads at 1 1/2 years old so they were used to them and ready for this size. Good luck!

Get the small. I got the large and was irritated because there is no way my 1 year old will be able to ride on the large...probably until she is 3! I ended up buying the small to fit her. Now we have both and the large is in storage.

If your boy around 40 lbs, I would suggest go with " bigger " stroller. I believe this stroller is too small for him.

My child is 4'9 & still uses the maxi, thanks to the steering stick that extends as the child grows. I use the kickboard compact (adult 3-wheel scooter) & I let my child borrow it, but he prefers his maxi. The maxi is for kids 5 - 12 years old, up to 120 lbs. Hope this helps.

My 3 year old rides a maxi. However the mini would be lighter and easier to make turns. The maxi and mini are the same height when the maxi is set to the shortest setting. The mini is not adjustable but lasted my son until he was 6 years old!!!
