My 4.5y old and 2.5y old are battling over the mini micro and, instead of buying a second mini micro, I was wondering whether to just get the maxi for the 4.5y old. She is about 105cm, which is probably average-to-small for age - is that too short for a maxi? John Lewis states from age 6y but it also states the mini is from 3y and my kids were using it from 2+yrs.

Thanks!

I think so. My 3 (4 in Jan) year old plays with her siblings maxi scooters, with the handles right down I think she would be fine to ride them properly (she's on a mini micro).


More than happy for you to try one too if you like? We are near Goodrich school.


The maxis are great - we've had 3 years use out of them now, and they're still going strong, my older children are 7 and nearly 9.

That would be really helpful, thank you - I will PM you.

It is exactly the same height as the mini Snowboarder, you're right. As you say its a bit heavier, the footplate is bigger and its a bit sturdier. We have one and my 4.5 year old loves it and scoots so much better on it than he did on his mini micro that he fell over the top of a lot, so suspect the weight helps for him. My 2 year old also uses it on occasions and is generally fine - although fell off the other day when scooting in circles so think it was a bit heavy for her! As long as your 4.5 yr old scoots the whole way rather than needing you to carry it on the way back from somewhere I'd go for it!

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
