This scooter is my son's number one "desert island" toy. hopefully the desert island would be paved or at least have some hard dirt. The fact that it's light makes it easy to carry on the back of your stroller (if you find you are still using the stroller once you've introduced the scooter). More importantly, the fact that it's light makes it far less dangerous than scooters like the Razor. Yes, your child can be hurt by falling, but he or she won't be hurt by the scooter itself.
Here is the official manufacturer's description:
The mini micro is the 3-wheel scooter, Swiss-designed by Kickboard USA, for children ages 3-5. Its high quality construction, stability and light weight (only 3lbs.) make it the perfect mode of modern mobility for young children. Whether its a scoot to school, a walk in park, or running an errand, the mini micro's smooth glide and quiet ride make it a joy for parents and children alike.
The mini micro is designed with a weight recommendation of 75lbs.
Dimensions of the mini micro are as follows:
Height of handle bar from kickboard - 26.37 inches
Length of deck - 300mm.
The mini micro scooter makes scooting fun for young children at the same time as helping to develop their balance, co-ordination and motor skills, thanks to the following features:
The mini micro scooter was designed with three wheels, two in front and one in back, making it easier for young children to control. The two wheels in front are placed eight inches apart for stability and are 4-inch in diameter. The one in back is 3-inch. The unique 'lean-and-steer' mechanism has kids 'surfing' the sidewalk - it adds an element of fun and control that young children love. The lean-and-steer mechanism is intuitive for even the youngest children to learn. The large urethane wheels create a smooth glide and a quiet ride, a joy for parents and children alike. Thanks to the urethane wheels, the mini micro can be used indoors - no black marks on floors! The kickboard is large and low-to-the-ground, making it easy for young children to hop on and off as need be, or to switch from pushing, to just enjoying the ride. The 'spoon' brake at the back adds an element of control, and kids like it because its just like the 'big kid' scooters. The handle grips are a thick, durable, comfortable foam.
The mini micro is light weight, so it's easy to carry when need be.
And, the best just got even better - the original mini micro scooter has been improved! The design team at microŽ, always working to achieve ever-higher standards of excellence, has now made the mini micro even better, with a reinforced brake, stronger U-bar, and a new locking pin for easy handlebar removal.
Best for children ages 3-5. Available in blue, pink, orange or aqua.
