My 5 year old daughter really wants a scooter for Christmas but is determined it should have 2 wheels, thing is she never really got to grips with the mini micro 3 wheel one that is now too small for her.


Can anyone suggest a 2 wheel version that is easy to use and not too bulky? Are 2 wheel ones a lot trickier?


Thanks!

This one is good - http://www.micro-scooters.co.uk/scooters-model-mx-stunt/micro-mx-trixx-scooter-blue-black.html

My 5 year old is speedy on it, and it's an appropriate size. Have to say he was fearless on a three wheeler though - but I think the two wheelers are easier!

Can anyone (snowboarder?) talk me through the merits of 2- or 3-wheel scooters for a 4.5yo? He loves his micro mini so was assuming the maxi would be obvious choice but should I be thinking about a 2-wheeler and what about these cheaper brands Dave R suggests? Argh! thanks for any advice!
A two wheeler is tricker to balance, but if your child is coordinated they catch on quickly and never look back. Mine had a micro sprite 2 wheeler at 4. She's now on a Town 3 from decathalon. I will say this about Decathalon--no problem at all buying spares at reasonable prices - including wheels and brakes!
Bluesuperted - we got eldest sb a maxi micro when he was 4 so his brother could have the mini - and very quickly he decided he wanted a 2 wheeler. We went to a funky little scooter shop in west wickham and they recommended the stunt scooters over things like the micro sprite especially for energetic boys as they are much sturdier - all of the ones that fold have an inherent weakness in them....and whilst Z is hardly doing huge tricks on his he certainly puts it through its paces at 5.5. His younger brother now wants one too (at 3.5!) and can balance fine on it. I like the Micro scooter stunt version as it's quite good proportions. And I can have a go on it!

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".

    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
