Which Scooter Did You Buy for Your Preschooler?

I got a Barbie metal folding scooter for my 5 yr old and my 3 yr old uses his sister's old Disney Princess 3-wheel plastic one. Maybe I had better luck but both are 3 and 5 yrs old without trouble, costing around $15 ea.

I like the razors they are the only scooters that I have had that lasted more than a year. They have knock offs which my son has and it has held up pretty good considering but watching my nephew on his razor compared to the knock off one the wheel barings look a lot better on the razor he didnt look to be pushing as hard as my son. My next scooter purchase will be a razor

PLASMACAR!!!! (aka the "scoocher"). Neighborhood and house favorite from age 2-8 (and still counting). Trick. Take into a bike shop and have the wheels they come with replaces with razorblade wheels for quieter inside riding. And require a helmet when scooching/racing around outside. They are RIDICULOUSLY stable and maneuverable, but the kids start going FAST on them.

there are scooters, that have 2 wheels in front and 1 in the back, for younger kids/toddlers.
My kids' Aunty, got one from Walmart, for my son. My son is 4.
My older daughter, has a Razor. She is 7.

Here is the one for toddlers:

My son has this one:

AND, it is very durable and has not broken no matter how rough he is.

BOTH of my kids, use their scooters ALL the time... and are not gentle about it. And their scooters has lasted.... more than 2 years thus far, with NO problem or breakage.

good luck,
Susan

I got my (then 3) now 4 year old a Razr scooter last year -he loves it! It's the same one the older kids have with an adjustable hand bar, so it will "grow" with him.

I tried to get the ones designed for younger kids for my youngest, and he hated them, so I got him a regular razor, and he loves it. Before that, when he was 2 and 3, he had a little rider one that had 3 wheels, but he never took to it. He just wanted a 2 wheel one like the big kids, and has had no problems with it. I had gotten a cheaper 2 wheel one once that looked just like a razor, but it was not. I will stick with the actual razors from now on, even if they cost a little more.

I got my daughter the Radio Flyer "My First Scooter" She's five and still enjoys it. It's endured 2 years now. My 1.5year old twins enjoy standing on it and getting pushed around, too.

Good luck!
