Editorial Review

This pink and purple girl's trike is equipped with everything a beginning rider would want or anticipate from Radio Flyer. Besides being for first-time riders--excitement enough--it comes with a list of confidence-inspiring features, besides having three large, sturdy wheels on a lightweight metal frame to prevent toppling. There's also a large bucket seat for maximum comfort; easy to reach pedals with foot brakes; easy-grip handle bars with wind-lovin' tassels; a rear-end basket for all kinds of toddler "stuff; and a kitschy finger bell kids will love to ring as they turn blind corners in the house. New riders will take pride in every pedal with a trike so well-equipped. --Diane Beall ... Read more

When the sun beats down over the long haul, this jaunty, adjustable red polyester umbrellatransforms a little red wagon into a shady Conestoga. And it will serve you well should you be surprised byrain showers on your journey. You could also clamp it on a lawn chair, a cooler handle, a park railing, or abackpack strap. The neoprene-padded jaws of the sturdy plastic, 6.5-inch spring clamp move smoothly on180-degree hinges, so the umbrella gets a flat, slip-proof grip on objects that are from an eighth of an inchto 2 inches thick--even on wet wood or slick metal. Made especially to sit pretty on a classic Radio Flyerwagon, the versatile, heavy-duty clamp also accommodates non-planar surfaces, such as a wide-lippedwall. Unfasten the Velcro closure and slide open a taut 26.5-inch diameter circle of shade made of chunky,top-quality materials. A 4-inch-long, .375-inch-diameter metal-spiraled neck above the clamp allows you toadjust the shade to any angle in any direction. This beauty is made to last as long as a Radio Flyer wagon!The umbrella is 30.75 inches long, and comes with instructions. Ava Natov ... Read more

Didn't hold up....
I bought two of these umbrellas for the ATW wagon. They both broke at the plastic clip area after one time of using them. The clip is made of plastic and wasn't very durable for the wagon. It would make a better stroller umbrella.

Great Concept but Not Durable
The umbrella is a great idea and works well with the radio flyer wagon. The problem is ours broke after limited use. The umbrella did not bend easily in the coil area. We found that when people adjusted the umbrella they always bent it where the button is to put the umbrella up and down. In the end that is where the umbrella snapped in two. So just take your time when trying to bend the umbrella to block the sun!

A Taper's Delight
This little baby is perfect for concert tapers looking for an easy way to attach an umbrella to their stand. Forget about Duct and Gaffer's tape. Just clamp, and you're ready to record in the rain.

+T to all....

Don't buy for a plastic wagon
The clamp on this broke the FIRST time I attempted to put it on my Discovery
wagon. I assume the spring and clamp are not meant to open that wide.
It is a strong clamp & should be suited to a metal or wooden sided wagon.

Useful but very fragile!
I bought three of these umbrellas. 2 for my youngest daughters wagon because you need 2 to cover the whole wagon. Plus one for my oldest daughters wheelchair. They really are wonderful to have if you remember not to just grab and bend them from anywhere. My husband has snapped all three of them in half because he forgets that he has to be gentle. I have recently ordered another one just because it's impossible to find a clip on umbrella for a wheelchair for when it's raining. BUT... I will not be buying more for the wagon. Too much money to spend for something that breaks so quickly to only be used for shading sun! (...) ... Read more

worth the wait!!!!
Hi everyone my name is Holly and I got this scooter a little over a month ago and I absoultly adore it.The 1st time I got it I rode it for at least an hour and I thought this was the best thing I ever got.This scooter brought me lots of joy and if you buy it I'm sure you will enjoy it to. Bye bye

no better bang for buck
I've ridden a lot of electric vehicles. I don't believe there's a better deal. It has a 350 watt motor which is enough to get my 180 lbs up around 16 mph- which is fine for getting around town. for your $200 it's pretty bare bones. there are no shocks or front brake. this scooter will be fine for most people, unless you have to ride up a big hill. if you do have to go up big hills, you're going to need 600 watts which can be found in a $500 scooter (along with bigger batteries, front shocks and brakes). other great sites about scooters are visforvoltage.com and electric-scooter-world.com. i've played around with mine and added another smaller pair of batteries to extend the range to over 10 miles. if you have one and want to know how i did it, email me jon_ando@hotmail.com

Scooter Scoots nicely
I live about a mile from work on paved and dirt road. This scooter is terrific for that trip. Saves fuel and goes on a road my car cannot go. What a find! I added a mirror and a small tire pump by Schwinn. I may add a front basket for grocery shopping so I need not take the car up the street for that either. Thank you. Excellent product.

Fundamental comments & questions, more than a review: HELP!
I'm an adult, and clicking on toys "for adults" has shown me a mixed bag of scooters and bikes, mostly for young children and toddlers.
I would love to rate my scooter, but I would have to buy, own, and
use one in order to review it. PLEASE list ADULT "TOYS" under the headung of 'adult toys'. Also EXTREMELY IMPORTANT is knowing what WEIGHT can any (each and every) scooter carry without impairing its

Editorial Review

With two different configurations to choose from, the All Terrain Switchboard offers young riders more versatility than your typical scooter or skateboard. The Switchboard is shaped like an oversize skateboard with abuilt-in handle that can either be popped up or locked down. With the easy-grip handle in the up position the switchboard is a scooter for beginners; fold and lock the handle down and it's an off-road skateboard. The board itself is made of wood, with nonskid treads for extra traction, an extra-wide wheel base(14 inches wide), and rugged off-road wheels. The Switchboard is definitely on the heavy side and may be a little too cumbersome for younger kids, but it trades the extra weight for stability and durability. --Chris Burns ... Read more

I guess it's okay for _very_ young children...
I bought this product for my daughter for Xmas two years ago. It hasn't got much use because it is difficult to steer on a narrow sidewalk. Even so, the wheels have become very loose on their plastic trucks, and I can't find a way to adjust them! If you're looking for a scooter, skip this and buy another type of scooter. If you're looking for something to train a young child to ride a skateboard, this may be for you. I'd recommend this off-road model as opposed to the one with the regluar skateboard wheels - the off-road wheels can take more abuse and they can handle riding on grass and bumps. Because of its limited speed and steering, I wouldn't recommend this for a child older than 4. Older kids will struggle to keep up with their friends riding regular scooters if they're riding a Switchboard!

looking
Thanks to all who wrote in. There were too many "accidents" to be ignored. The wide wheel base and the handle with a locking problem. It is always my luck to buy something and all the things mentioned that could go wrong - DO.

Thank you again for the reviews. I will keep looking.

This is the worst toy ever!
It looks fun in the picture, but there is a major design flaw with this toy - the wheels stick out so far that when the rider tries to go they end up slamming their ankle into the tire. Within 2 minutes of using this toy my son ripped open his ankle. This toy should be recalled. Do not buy it. I would send mine back, but we had already thrown out the packaging.

Great "First" Skateboard!
I bought my son this skateboard when he was 2 1/2. I'm now shopping for a regular skateboard for him. He has used this toy for a year and a half now. It has survived some pretty tough play and a few bumps by the cars. My son loves this toy and it's usually the first driveway toy he goes for. He also uses this year round, which says a lot for New England. I highly recommend getting this board for a child who wants to do what the big kids do, but dosn't quite have the ability. This board taught my son how to balance and now he is ready for a regular board. I also would like to add that the mechanism for raising and lowering the handle is pretty simple and easy, but it really has to be done by an adult.

Nice Birthday Present
I purchased this for my 5-year-old boy's birthday. His eyes lit up when he saw it! It has great traction, much safer than a skateboard, even when the handle is down. We leave the handle up most of the time and use it as a scooter. The only problem we've had is when he puts his foot on the ground to scoot along he has to reach his foot out past the wide wheel that gets in his way. This doesn't seem to bother him much, he still loves it! ... Read more

VERY SMALL
My brother bought this toy for my son for his 1st birthday, however he is above average height for his age. He loved and still till this day (he is 19 months now) loves it however it is way to small for him to ride.. He is like one of the other people had said that he just pushes it around now. I wish that I had read reviews before I had boughten this lil quad and gotten him a bigger power toy. Next time we go for the HUMMER H2, plenty on room in there.

Babys' first power ride on
I purchase the Lil'Guad for my grandson, now 16 months old. Durablity I really can't rate yet, for I only bought this about a week ago, but it seems it will last. Two things I feel could be improved on. One, the foot rest could be made a little larger, his feet are to big to fit on them. Two, The turn screw that holds the seat doesn't really sercure it down, it turned loose and my grandson could pick the seat right up when he was pushing it. What I did about this is; took fuel line used for remote control model motors and put a little piece on each nob and now it is secure.
I done research on power wheels and other brands. Other brand reviews were, on the hold, not good. for the product. That's why I picked power wheels.
At first my grandson didn't know what it really was, but as he learned, he loves it right now and rides it all around. I, at this time, plan on getting him a power wheels jeep for Christmas.
I thank these reviews for being here to help me deside on what would be best to buy.

Not worth it
My son received this for his 1st birthday from his grandma. I think the recommended age of 1 is too young. At 1yrs old, they understand alittle bit of cause and effect but not with a power wheels toy. By the time he understands how to ride it, he will probably be too big for it. I definetely would not have spent $80 for it. You'd be better off waiting until your child is 3yrs old and get a 4 x 4 power wheels that will grow them. They will get better use out of it.

unhappy with the little quad
Was a little dissapointed in this ride on. After one summer with little use, the power button that the children push to make it go, shorted out. My son just learned how to control the button, (that letting go makes it stop) and it shorted out, he let go and the four wheeler still drove, VERY scary for a almost 2 yr old. The seat does not stay on, it has a plastic screw that you unscrew to get the battery out, well that plastic screw doesn't stay screwed.

Wonderful Toy
I highly recommend this toy. I have two and half year old twins and they both love this toy. We purchased the toy when they were one the toy has never gotten old. ... Read more

The ULTIMATE wagon
I can't begin to tell you how easy this wagon manuvers in the sand and on land. It fits great in the back of my SUV (which is smaller than most)so we can take it to the zoo. I LOVE the seatbelts that keep my busy toddler from climbing out when we are in motion. I searched and could not find any other wagon with seatbelts. I have a big 1 year old and with both he and a 4 year old friend there is plenty of leg room (I was surprised). This is the BEST choice by far. We tried other wagons before buying this one and I LOVE it!!!

An awesome red wagon
This is one awesome wagon! We looked at the Radio Flyer Pathfinder and the Navigator. The Pathfinder did not have as much legroom in the footwell, or any under-seat storage. My kids are 6 and 2 so legroom and some extra storage are essential. The wagon is easy to pull on grass and pavement. The turning radius is very good if you flip the handle straight up and twirl the wagon around in place. The no-tip feature is great since my 6 year old likes to pull the younger one around, sometimes pretty fast. The door works well, though it is not a child-proof latch. My 2 year old can open the door easily. The cupholders are a nice touch. They hold standard size water bottles, Avent bottles, juice boxes, soda cans, and regular sippy cups. Glass Snapple bottles and wide-bottom Gerber Fun Grips sippy cups don't fit though. Another poster said their Avent bottles don't fit. I wonder if the cupholders have been widened? Our wagon was purchased in May 2003 and hold the Avent bottles easily. The storage bin is big enough for diaper changing items and a few toys. The drain holes are a plus for cleaning or water play. The rubber wheels are quiet and give a smooth ride. The only downside is not having safety straps for the toddler. But he's learned that the wagon doesn't move until he's seated. The wagon fits easily in the back of our small SUV (Volvo XC90)... We get tons of "wow, that's a nice wagon. Where'd you get it?" comments. I highly recommend this red wagon. It's been perfect for our kids.

So pleased with this wagon, we bought one for our niece
This is the wagon you want for your child! It is perfect! It seats 2 kids comfortably, with cupholders and storage under their seat! It goes all over our neighborhood! Its easy to pull, my toddler likes to put things in it and take them out (100 times at least!) When it gets dirty, the garden hose and some dawn dish soap make it look new! It the winter, its great to store balls and toys in the garage. We were so happy with it, we bought it for our niece for her 1st birthday and she loves it too! Granted, it doesn't have the old fashioned look of the metal radio flyer, but its WAY more functional and will get way more use! This is the wagon you want!

Great Buy
The seating makes a more comfortable ride than a flat bed wagon and the cup holders are great. Rubber tires keep the ride quiet, the drain holes make clean up easy, and there is a small amount of storage under one seat.
The front wheels are not attached to the handle, instead they swivel freely. As I searched Radio Flyer's website I realized that this feature is for safety so the wagon doesn't tip, and the wagon can also turn more sharply. Just never grease the wheels... it will make them shake back and forth and it will be impossible to pull the wagon. We learned this the hard way and had to take the wagon apart, clean everything, and put it back together.
We love this wagon and feel that we made the best purchase for our needs.

This is the wagon to buy!
I am very pleased with this wagon. It has proved to be very durable and my kids have great fun playing with it. The rubber wheels are crucial to my satisfaction. They provide a smoother and remarkably quieter ride than plastic wheeled alternatives. I would like a more smooth, comfortable, and possibly rubberized handle. This is not so much of an issue for me however because I don't use the wagon for long walks. My kids love to be pulled around our yard and up and down small hills. The high seat backs provide good support for the later. The cup holders are a nice amenity as is the under seat storage bin. The wagon sprays clean easily with the garden hose, and the drainage holes work well. My kids enjoy sitting in the wagon and having buckets of water tossed on them during hot weather. ... Read more

Schwinns hottest bike
I am very :) with this bike people take pictures. Because they want i dont know why but they do. i suggest this bike. find it at your local toysrus if they have any. I used to have a pocket bike gas scooters but someone complainded.

Schwinn Stingray Bicycle
This bike is the bomb!!! My son got it for his 9th birthday and we can't get him off of it! It is so cool looking...people do double takes when he's riding it. My husband has a Harley and my son feels really cool parking his Orange County Chopper Shwinn Stingray right next to the real deal....this bike is every little boy's(and a lot of little girl's) fantasy ride....if you can get your hands on one....grab it....
The only complaint I had though is that the decals seem easily torn or they lift off, however, Schwinn was very gracious and is sending new ones...

Just for boys ?
When I saw this bike I told my wife. I want this bike. She does not understant the real meaning. Since I have five bikes. She find the bike, and pay with out asking. When I saw the bike I was crazy with my bike. Then my friend(40 y/o bike colector) saw me riding the bike and we get back to the store for two bikes more. The bike is beatiful, ride well, it has personality, has history, is the hot bike for 2004,the colector item, the bike for my future boy and boy inside me. A must have bike.

Pretty Cool
This bike is pretty cool. I have had this bike for a day and i have gotten numerous coments about its' motercycle like qualities. Every one that passed me driving a car either turned there head or slowed down to stare at this ausome bike. Almost everyone in my nieghborhood wants one now. This is one of schwinns coolest creations yet...and i would recomend this bike to anyone who is looking to have a good time.

Greatest ever!!!
I have owned the bike now for over a month or two and it is GREAT!!! I have modified it in many ways such as, a center mounted Sped., fuzzy dice "streamers", fake NOS bottle, Pulsing neon lights, and many more things! I have taken it to a bike show and gotten MANY praises! It is also on Onlineshowoff.com under the Other section. CHECK IT OUT!!! I have yet to get voted less than 10/10! ... Read more

Wagons don't get much tougher than this one. Sporting fat pneumatic tires and rugged, stainless steelconstruction, this jumbo Radio Flyer wagon can haul topsoil as easily as toddlers, ably handling any kind ofterrain with its 3-inch-wide, 11-inch-high rubber wheels. With a 16-by-34-inch bed, the wagon providesample room for five or six grocery bags--or a couple of kids (maybe even one more if they're small).Six-inch-high, removable wooden side rails give the 4-inch-deep bed even more hauling power, and anearly 3-foot-long steel handle with a plastic grip provides the pulling power. --Paul Hughes ...

I love this wagon so much my child enjoys it and its wheels are rubber so they can go anywhere ... the wagon is a great thing to have .

Can't get my child out of her new wagon!
We gave my daughter this wagon for her first birthday. She loves it! She wants to ride every morning before work and again in the afternoons. She brings friends along (human and stuffed) and there is plenty of room for four small children. The high rails allow a good view but keep her safely inside giving Mom enough reaction time when she tries to stand in it (which she does frequently!)
The big wheels make for a smooth comfortable ride for all.
I HIGHLY recommend this affordable, safe, classic toy.

The Classic Keeps Getting Better!
Fifty two years ago, my grandparents got me my first Radio Flyer and it is still used today. We just got our two-year-old son the Radio Flyer All Terrain wagon with the air tires and have ordered the handle extension and the bed pad. The "classic" just keeps getting better! It is true that "New Products Give the Dream a New Life."

awesome wagon
This wagon is awesome! The big air tires make it really easy to pull and it is a much softer ride for my 3 kids. Yes, this wagon is big enough for all 3 of them to go for a ride together. The bright,red wooden sides remove which makes it alot easier to load this wagon in the car when our family goes on "field trips". The ATW is so big and rugged I use it for my gardening and yard work too. ... Read more

For Power Wheels toys that have two 6V batteries
Having to charge batteries for a toy for 14-18 hours isn't much fun, especially when the batteries run down so quickly. The Power Wheels vehicles however, are a lot of fun, so that makes up somewhat in the "fun" category.

Getting the correct charger was very educational for me, after buying the recommended 6 volt battery charger, and then discovering that it only charges one battery at a time. (Amazon processed the return promptly and efficiently)

For Power Wheels vehicles that use two 6 volt batteries, this is the correct charger, because it charges both batteries at the same time.

I'm not too sure about the durability, because the original charger malfunctioned after 3 years, and I don't know the average life cycle of a charger to compare.

In summary, the car is working, the child is happy - case closed.

Wrong Charger
I thought that I was ordering the proper charger for the 12 volt Peg Perego 12 Volt battery because it was listed as an item bought by people who have bought that battery.It's being returned. ... Read more

This Toy Is Excellent
WE picked this up for our 2 year old. He watches the other kids in the neighborhood play with bikes and wants one too. The traditional tricycles were too big and $100 more. He loves this toy, we fold it for storage, or to travel to Grandma's. It's very durable (we even have dropped it a few times) And our son is short for his age and he can reach the peddle- good price good buy.

Excellent Purchase
My daugther was 2 years old when we bought her this and she is very petite. This bike is perfect for the little ones! She was able to reach the pedals right away and the steering is very easy. Plus the horn is a little addon bonus that is easy to push and makes a lot of noise. Other bikes we looked at were too big and the horns did not work! This is an excellent buy and well worth the money.

I recommend
I bought this trike for my son for Christmas when he was 20 months old. I knew I wanted to get him a trike and this was the smallest one I found. My son is small for his age and cannot reach the pedals well enough to manipulate the trike yet. BUT he still loves it. First, he just loves the fact that he has his very own "bike". He gets on it and just pushes around with his feet for now. The horn is cute and is easy for him to "honk" although he doesn't pay much attention to it. Another aspect of the bike that he loves is the bucket in the back. He enjoys putting some of his favorite small toys in there and riding them around with him. He will probably be 2-1/2 yrs. old before being big enough to actually ride it. Regardless, he loves it and so do I. Folding it up is easy and makes it so convenient to throw in the car to take somewhere with you. It is a sturdy toy with metal parts.

We have a hard wood floor in our living room and for now we allow him to ride it in the house since he can only scoot around on it. The folding-up feature is really nice because I have some young relatives who like to ride his toys around but are really too big to use them. So, when they come over I just fold it up and they are unable to ride it.

Great concept and not too flimsy.
I bought this for my son who doesnt yet know how to ride a bike (he's 3 1/2). He's a little shakey with it, but its a great space saver, you can stick it in the car and go to the park, etc.
Nice idea. I'd recommend it, but I'd pick something lower and thicker for beginners. ... Read more

Toddlers who spend a lot of time on a ride-on vehicle will delight in having this play gas pump for additional role-playing. The pump and nozzle are made of safe, lightweight plastic with a flexible rubber hose for "filling up" little vehicles. A pretend credit-card swipe area with keypad makes the pump look a lot like the one Mommy and Daddy use at the real gas station. The pump also makes six electronic sounds when any of the three large push-buttons are pressed--two car start-up noises, two fueling noises, and two car horn sounds. The pump operates on two AA batteries (not included) and is ideal when paired with Little Tikes's popular Cozy Coupe II car. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Needs twicking to stabalize toy.
This is a fun thought for the coupe cars. However, upon opening the box, I was very disappointed, I expected more. The toy would be better if the bottom was weighted so that the pump does not tip over everytime. I thought the price did not justify the toy. The value was not there, (...) dollars for a toy that needs to be twicked by adults to be of use to the child does not warrant the price tag, (...) However, after drilling a small hole in the top and filling the pump with sand until the toy is stable then voila!!!! It becomes a fun toy, even if the pump is difficult for a toddler to insert into car gas tank.

The nozzle broke almost immediately
This seems like a really great toy for those little ones who just love cars and other vehicles, and my 4-yer-old son did love it and use it right away, but after a few days of use the nozzle broke. He must have inserted it back in too hard and when he tried to pull it out again the long part of the nozzle separated from the rest of the toy. If you do decide to buy it, be gentle with it!

Nice thought...
When I spotted this adorable gas pump, I thought that it would make the perfect addition to my son's toy collection. He played with it for the first 5 minutes and then put it to the side. Twice in two years, he has pulled it around the house by the handle, but done nothing else with it. It's not very stimulating, and is a space hog for something that is only collecting dust. Nice thought, but not a real investment.

Great accessory for all those cars!
My son received this gas pumper with his cozy coupe police car and loves to fill er up on his own. He loves to watch me pump gas at the gas station and this makes him feel like a big boy when he can do it to his own car. We have 2 cozy coupes so he pretends to be the gas attendant while my daughter is driving and also tops his own tank off before taking off in his police car. The noises and real acting buttons give this toy the extra + over just a piece of plastic so he really feels that it is doing something and interacting with his imaginative play.

The kids love it!
My daughter and my neice love their "gas station."!!

It helps the kids take turns in their car because they can realize that once around the yard and they'll "need gas", and that's when it's time to switch over.

Get them a little cash register and you'll have a full blown gas station in your own back yard! ... Read more

Recommended Age is not correct
My daughter received this gift for her 1st birthday knowing that she would grow into it fairly soon. The picture on the box showed a seat that is about 6 inches off the ground. I stored it in the closet until she was 20 months old (18 months is the recommended age to start) and my daughter was so excited to see us put together her first bike. What a dissapointment when her feet couldn't reach the pedals. This was a full size tricycle and there is no way she would be able to ride it. She had a lot of fun when we would push her around on it, but that is way tooo tiring for an all day event. My daughter is now two years old and her feet still can't make it all the way around on the pedals. She is tall for her age, so shame on the manf for putting an incorrect age to start. We ended up purchasing a bike that would fit her height and she loves it!

Lot's of fun but pedals poorly attached
My daughter loved riding on this tricycle. But after only 1 month in the house, one of the pedals came off and now she can't ride it anymore. I would have expected more durability for the price paid. Recommend spending a little more and getting a more durable product.

Cute bike
This bike was purchased for my 2 year old daughter. She just fits the bike. After about a month of practicing, she can actually pedal down the street. A great first bike!

Disney Princess Trike---Perfect for a 3 Year
We just bought this for our 3 1/2 year old daughter. Although she is already very good at the peddaling thing, this was her pick. She loves the Disnay Princesses, and although the box says up to 3, she is not ready for a bicycle yet, she is very small for age, mostly short and she doesn't not feel as safe on the bicycle because of the breaks on the pedals, she is not ready yet, if we make it until next summer, I find this to have been a great investment, she loves it. Only complaint, the directions were horrible! My hubby assembled it on his own from looking at the picture on the box.

Daughter Absolutely LOVES it!
I bought this for my daughter when she was 2 1/2. She is a small girl, (my 18 mo old niece was about the same size) and my daughter could ride it right away. No way an average size 1 year old could ride it though, in my opinion especially with the coordination aspect. 12 month old??? I don't think so. Toys R Us's age recommendation fits better than the mfg. My daughter is turning 3 and I think it will suit her for awhile. Although a bit too big for it, a 6 year old neighborhood girl was having fun riding it today. ... Read more

This scooter was NOT SAFE for my 5 year-old
My son recv'd this scooter as a gift from grandparents. He initally rode it w/training wheels ON & his free leg/foot would usually get "tripped" up on the training wheels (they extend-out too far). The platform is too short (for my 5 yr old). My son recv'd three gashes/cuts to his ankles (on 3 different occasions) from the rear wheel screw/nut when trying to propel himself along (this is without trng wheels). He also got a cut on the inside part of his leg (near his ankle)from contact w/the metal sloping part (just behind the front wheel) when trying to lift it off/away a curb. After the 3rd incident, we dismantled it & threw it away.

My Daughter is in Love with Her Scooter
My daughter(5) has so much fun riding her new scooter. Her mother who is maybe three times her weight got on it and demonstrated the art of scooting. No damage done -- this scooter is build solid!
I noticed that unlike a bicycle this scooter's turning radius is rather small. The beauty of this is that the child who rides this scooter will less likely have those catastrophic turn-the- handle-bar-one-way-fall-another-way (as on a bicycle) accidents.
None of the toy stores in my town carried this scooter; so I imagine my daughter is one of the few who owns one here. I would not hesitate to buy another scoooter from this company!

3 year old enjoys, 5 year old LOVES, great toy
