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.

He would probably do fine with the pro. Whatever scooter you buy, make sure the 2 wheels are on the front, not the back. I believe the handle is adjustable on the pro,which means it can grow with him. It glides well and is very sturdy. It is a good choice.

This one would be great for him, my son was 3 when I bought it and strong/athletic. However, my neighbor has one where the front wheel actually turns & it's way easier for the kids to maneuver. I kinda wish I had that one, but my son still loves his, too

Pro glider not able to steer with his hands, like I mentioned before I think it's the main drawback on this design.

Hi...I, personally, liked the pro glider version better. It seemed less plastic-like and more like something that he could use much longer than the "my first" version. My son, who turned 3 in May, received his for Christmas and he loves to ride around on his.I hope this helps! I know he will enjoy it.Thanks!

My grandson absolutely loves radio flyer. He learned how to ride it almost immediately. He's had so much fun with it and still enjoying it.Your godson will learn how to lean rather than turn the handle. My grandson was a little over three years old when I got it for him.

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.

Please get this one... skip the first scooter; I found first scooter best suited for one to two year olds.

Happy to help. At his age he will be able to do many more "tricks" and maneuvre the Maxi better, so you may want to get a helmet along with the scooter...

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.

My daughter is an average-sized 9 year old and she has it in the highest setting. I would go with a bigger scooter

I have a 20 mo grandson......he loves it.......I wouldn't go for a trike yet...let them get their feet going.....the 3 yr old grandson rode it, just the right size...now he's 4 and his legs are too long!.....get it, you won't regret it.

You probably have made a decision already but just in case, I have bought both for my kids.. Bought the Huffy 20inch for my 9yr old son and bought the Riprider for my 8yr old daughter. They switch rides both are fun but the Huffy can grow with you even adults can use it. (150lbs max I think)

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! ;)

I would have to say yes. We bought 2. My girls are 10 and 12. The scooters can go pretty fast.

Tough age I had the same issue when my sons were 2. I ended up going with a Jeep because there is only one peddle for operation, on the KFX you have the peddle at his foot and a accelerator at the right hand @ 2' tall he may not be able to reach the peddle and steer comfortably. This is a hefty ride on for its size. Then again skill and capability are on your end. If you need measurements let me know

I would not recommend this scooter for your son. Solely because of his height. The bars are on the shorter side. You can get taller bars for it, but by the time you do that you might as well have just bought a scooter that was taller to begin. I recommend a phoenix, blunt or MGP scooter for someone that tall.

Hmmm not sure, it was great for my 4 year old grandson, who actually thinks he is in college :) but this scooter is ver solid, I am 130 lbs and can ride it.

Hello! Sorry but I can not advise you if the scooter is or not appropriate for an 8 year old child ... my son is 5 years old and it is perfectly fine for him. I am not sure if the scooter will be suitable for him when he's older.

I bought this for my 2yr old grandson however I did purchase an orange one for my other grandson when he was 2, he will be 4 in a few months and takes this scooter everywhere, he weighs 43 lbs. and is quite tall. I was considering buying him the maxi for christmas but the mini still works for him.

My son bought it and he is 13. I think my 7 year old son likes to ride on it just fine. The handle bars might be a little bit high (unless he is a tall 6 year old), but it is a great scooter. It rides well on our gravel driveway.

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.

Depends on your 3 year old! My daughter started on a scooter before she turned 3, my son was 5 before he's get near it.

Depends on how tall the 2 year old is and how much coordination he/ she has. I gave this to my granddaughter who was a small 5 yr. old and she has a wonderful time with it. I gave my 3 yr old granddaughter a smaller scooter with 2 wheels in the back. The front wheels work better as the back wheels get in the way when pushing, but I think the shorter handle works better for the 3 yr. old and she has learned to negotiate the back wheels. The best thing about the Maxi Micro is the way it corners. So the 2 yr. old may be able to handle it but may take a while to get used to it. I would wait until the child is older or go with a smaller scooter. Depends on how tall the 2 year old is and how much coordination he/ she has.
