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 completely agree.   Pride used to be in Brixton and Brockwell Park before it outgrew it and moved to Finsbury Park.  Quite reasonable to accept limitations and respond properly  
    • Yes, but most posting on here against the festival have not said they hate all festivals, it is about location, scale and footprint, duration of the event, including build and dismantling, and the level of impact on wildlife and residents living close by.    Last year I said on here that I would, reluctantly, accept the three day event, provided it was no more than that and the footprint was not extended to include more of the park. Now it is reasonably clear there is an intention to scale up I think a new, more suitable location must be found. 
    • Have to admit, I did have to check myself - I've been to many festivals and it seems a bit contradictory to challenge one, but our local park is not the place for a festival of this size. It just needs to either scale down to the environment (smaller footprint, less damage) or find a better location. There is a VAST difference between festivals out in the countryside and the same in an urban park.      
    • Campfire on from about 7pm on Fridays - pop along and join me - I always have some Small Beer available.
