my daughter is 4 and she would mostly be riding this on sidewalks. can this scooter handle uneven, bumpy surfaces?

Yes. My daughter rides hers over similar terrain, and it performs very well!

If she can balance pretty well she will do ok. My daughter got her share of scraps and bumps learning to handle the scooter. If a sidewalk has an uneven surface, she may tumble head first. She even got a good mark on her cheek from the corner of the handle bar. Make sure the handle bar is adjusted for her height. My daughter is 6 now and still rides it. I have definitely been getting my monies worth. Good luck.

It handles most sidewalk surfaces ok. We were quite pleased with it and our daughter really liked the deco clips! She actually rode it often in the house during winter months too!

The toy should be ridden on a smooth surface (floor or sidewalk). It is probably not totally effective for children who are not yet steady walkers, although my granddaughter loved it even when she was not quite totally walking, but needed a hand to hold onto.

If the handles of the scooter are about the same diameter as a kids bike it should be fine.

My 8 year old loves this because it is soo much more stable and we have brick streets. My 12 year old has the larger scooter of this style and rides it everywhere.

My son uses it on sidewalks, so I assume if the road is relatively smooth it'd be fine.

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.

We do ride it on the streets but only on walking hard areas (to avoid cars). This scooter doesn't fold but it's light enough for my 2 year old to carry. Overall, it's very easy scooter to ride. We had others before but this one is awesome.

I don't know, if it were my kid no, I would not let him/her have one. A scooter would be much more appropriate with a more responsive turning with the handlebars, as well as a more reliable breaking mechanism. Plus unless you have pristine-like flat surfaces it has problems with bumps that severely slow you down especially if you don't have enough leg power to propel yourself over them. I hope this helps you make a safe and educated decision for this child.

Yes, my mother uses hers on uneven pavements and sandy trails. Pushing the stroller on these surfaces is a little harder and it's a bumpy ride for the dog. The item is lightweight and works very well on smoother concrete surfaces.

I think so...this is a fast little vehicle that can skid around corners. My grandson has any number of things to ride and still likes his.

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.

Grass should be OK but rocky driveways/gravel may be a problem as this scooter has no shock absorbers/springs. It goes better on smooth asphalt.

Does fine. It's wheels are relative small so if the street is bumpy, you'll feel the bumps.

Yes! It has a wider board, so the balance is better than the traditional scooter. She will love it! Btw, it comes in pink!

Hmmm, bumpy as in broken concrete, or bumpy as in a textured sidewalk? I would say no if it's broken concrete but yes to a textured sidewalk. Mine rides nice on walks down our dirt/gravel road. The stroller is made to take the rougher terrain, but my daughter definitely bobbles around in it (which I had hoped would not happen). She's 6 months old. I would not feel comfortable getting up to any speed when walking on our road due to the rough ride. I'm not sure of any stroller that would take that kind of beating (meaning the kiddo would be in for a smooth ride) unless it had some pretty serious suspension system under it:) Hmmm, bumpy as in broken concrete, or bumpy as in a textured sidewalk?

It won't rattle when you go fast , it really smooth actually pretty smooth. You will really enjoy riding this scooter!

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.
