Is this scooter able to steer? Looks like you can't turn it.

On second thought, I think it does steer -- front wheels broad enough to keep it from tipping. Had it confused with another riding toy my grandson has ... sorry!

As far as I can remember, no, it doesn't steer. Gift for my grandson and I no longer have it at my home. Would make sense, though, since this is for a newly walking toddler and the narrow wheel base in general would make it rather tippy. Grandson loves it!

You need to contact the company that sold you the scooter. It should be under warranty. It is unusual that it would no be working. Bill Keene 954-421-3169

Hi There - We've tried them all and this one is an amazing design. Hands down the most forgiving scooter for balance and coordination. Have fun...

As long as you are on a smooth surface, the scooter works fine. I tried it on a boardwalk last summer and it was not very steady because of the uneven surface of the boards. I have not tried it on uneven ground.

I don't have great balance either... It works best on a flat surface (not uphill) but I was ok with my balance. It is a workout, so don't expect it to be like a scooter.

Yes, its a good scooter. It'll last and go over different surfaces nicely. Its also lightweight. If you raise the handlebars..the size is fine.

It was a gift for our grandson, so I haven't seen it for awhile, but I am positive it's steerable.

Yes you can use it as a manual scooter. You have to help it along a little up hill as well!

The scooter maneuvers like a skateboard, so you turn by leaning not by turning the handles. It dosnt do super sharp turns but I don't ever remember my son complaining that he couldn't get where he wanted to go. Hope that helps.

Yes! My daughter just turned 3, and she is still learning how to turn, but from what I can see, the scooter wheels move pretty easily. She loves it!

No it is not. It's just a normal scooter. U might want the 3 wheel version.

This scooter certainly does go backwards and forwards. It steers extremely well and I can maneuver back and forth very well in order to navigate through smaller spaces. When I used it at my orthopedic appointment, this model turned heads in the office with great praise for its appearance and functionality. So, it has been a saving grace during this non weight bearing time.

It has no motor, you wiggle your body to make it move, both of my kids love it, it's a great scooter.

Unfortunately not. It has an affixed axle which does not allow for turns. It's just a basic learning project. I think there should be more advanced learning projects there after including remote control and the ability to do more functions like turning.

if turning using the front handle bar does not give you a small enough turning radius, then do as you would with a car making a Y turn: back up and then realign the front handlebar. You may need to do this twice if your ara is too small. OR: (tricky) keeping your immobilized foot out of action, and bracing with good leg and foot on the ground, lift the entire scooter and re-aim it. This assumes proper assembly, which was a time consuming major challenge; and the brakes did not work and despite repair paid for by me still do not fully work.

The handle on the scooter we have doesn't turn. My 2 and half year old, is able to adjust direction with his body weight. I did take some time to learn

It is not motorized or electric. You swag you feet side to side to keep scooter going. My 7 year old daughter loves it
