We're thinking about getting a scooter for our toddler who was 2 in April. See the 3 wheeled ones are better for younger kids and the ollie (??) brand is most popular. Is it worth getting one now? He seems a bit interested and had a play on one very briefly. Also is there a recommended place to buy one? Not sure I even have the name ollie scooter right as not much coming up on google (excuse naivity!) Any scooter tips much appreciated please! Thank you

We got our daughter a mini micro scooter for her 2nd birthday in June - she loves it, has a little difficulty in steering (veers off to the right) but is beginning to get there. They say from age 3 but see so many younger children with them and our daughter is small for her age but she is fine on it. We got ours in jo jo maman babe on lordship lane, same price as John Lewis and Cheaper than buying direct from micro scooter who charge delivery.
Mini micro are brilliant, and 2 and a bit probably the perfect age for most kids. Our scooter has been going strong for 6+ years between the 2 kids. Customer service is also very good - they supply spares at a reasonable price with very clear instructions how to fit (we've replaced a wheel bearing and a spring in the base of the handle)
Hiya, I just bought a second hand mini micro for my LO. He is only 18months but has been longing for them a while (lots of sly attempts to play with other kids' scooters at the playground). He cannot really use it yet, a couple of tries with one foot but mainly he just pushes it along. But it keeps him very happy and entertained for long stretches of time. I justified the early purchase with the fact that one was going cheap and that it will (hopefully) last for years to come...

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
