Hi,


My daughter who is nearly 6 years old has been asking for a scooter. I have no idea which brands are good ones to look at. Popped into John Lewis to have a look and they are ?100+ which is a lot more than I was expecting or maybe that is how much they cost.


Grateful if you could share any positive/negative reviews on scooters your child/children have used.


Thanks!

The mini micro for really small kids is unbeatable, but there are other options for 6+. Just don't buy a cartoon character themed one from Toys R Us or somewhere like that - they're pretty terrible.


JD Bug scooters are decent quality - probably not quite as good as Micro but they are solid and have proper wheel bearings etc. Decathlon are also good.

also if you have a reluctant walker they are a lifesaver, so parents love them too (i do anyway).


we are very careful about safety, stopping for roads and driveways and people etc. but then i am constantly talking to him reminding him of the rules so then become guilty of 'loud parenting' so you can't win really!


I've been rammed in the ankle by a scooter (one of mine), hurt so much we had to go home. wear trainers all the time now.

Have to say I do think micro scooters are actually worth the money, though I too did gasp when I first saw how much they were. But we've bought a cheap one in the past and it was heavy and swung round on its axis so was forever hitting me (actually cutting me) in the shins. Then it proceeded to fall apart when my daughter was riding it one time. The micro ones, on the other hand, are sturdy, easy to master and last forever - even with my kids attempting stunts on them.


The only problem is that they're so good they're very attractive to thieves - we lost an almost brand-new one that was a pressie from grandparents. So if you do buy one, write your child's name on it very clearly in marker pen!

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
