Description of Mini kick Scooter - PINK, for kids age 3-5. Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold and Platinum Best Toy Award Seals - ALSO available in new Yellow, Green, Aqua, Orange and Blue
Kickboard USA is the official distributor for Micro-Moblity, Switzerland, makers of the Mini Kick scooter for kids ages 2-5, the Maxi Kick scooter for kids ages 5-10, and a full line of quality scooters for teens and adults. The Mini Kick is the quality choice in children's scooters. In 2011 the Mini was awarded the Parent's Choice Approved Seal and in 2009, it won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold and Platinum Award Seals for Best Toy. The Mini also was named 'Best Pre-School Scooter' by Toy Report, 'Best Outdoor Toy' by Learning Express Stores and was featured on the NBC Today Show as part of its 'Best Toys for Summer' series. What makes the Mini unique is its quality construction and 'lean-and-steer' design, which allows children to use their body weight to control the steering, giving them the feeling of 'surfing' the sidewalk, as they curve from right to left, almost like a skateboard. The lean-and-steer adds an element of stability and fun, great for learning balance and coordination. The Mini's 3 wheels make it easy for even the youngest kids to ride. The youngest kids (ages 2 and 3) will normally start riding in a straight line but learn quite quickly, almost intuitively, to gently lean, in order to steer. The older kids (ages 4 and 5) become very proficient, curving right and left as they 'surf' the sidewalk. The rear brake adds to the safety and fun. The Mini can be ridden inside while learning (or waiting for Spring) as the Italian made wheels are non marking. The wheels and shock absorbent deck work in unison to provide an incredibly smooth, quiet ride, a joy for parents and children alike. The mini's light weight (only 3.3 lbs), makes it easy for young kids to control and convenient for parents to pick up and carry when need be. Weight limit 44lbs. Children love to ride the mini kick daily, year after year and the modular construction means that all parts are replaceable, so it can last, virtually forever.Has your child ever dreamt of surfing the pavement just like the bigger kids? Now it's easier than ever before with the Mini-Micro kick scooter, which allows children from 3 to 5 years old to enjoy all the fun and freedom of scooting. The ergonomics and handling of the Mini-Micro were developed with youngsters in mind, with three wheels to keep the rider from falling over, a back brake for safety, low ground clearance, and a simple Powerstic steering mechanism. The company also avoided using any sharp edges in the Mini-Micro to prevent unfortunate bumps and bruises. Most importantly, the trendy toy--which weighs only 3.7 pounds--allows toddlers to surf the asphalt while simultaneously improving their motor skills, balance, and coordination.
The Mini-Micro is built to last, with a polyamide base construction reinforced with 40-percent glass fiber and a polypropylene body. And when it's time to pack up and head home, you can easily remove the steering column and store the Mini-Micro in a backpack. The Mini-Micro is the ultimate kick scooter for youngsters of all skill levels.

Customer Review: The BEST toddler scooter out there by far
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This scooter is simply the best one out there - because the 2 wheels are in the front, they don't get in the way of the kids trying kicking off with their feet. And because to turn, they have to lean vs steer, I feel it is safer as it tends to just go straight. As the kids improve, they figure out how to turn, but that's what's so good, they do it at their own pace. Even though this scooter says it's for age 3, we bought it for my son's 2nd birthday because he tried someone else's and shocked us by being able to ride it well. He had tried those other 3-wheeled scooters with the 2 wheels in the back and couldn't really ride them - the design of this one is just so superior. He absolutely LOVES LOVES LOVES it and just about every day, people ask how old he is and they are shocked, they say they can't believe how well a 2-year-old can ride a scooter. But it's not him, it's this scooter! Don't waste your money on the cheap "cartoony" scooters, just get one of these, your kids will be zipping around in minutes!Customer Review: Couldn't be happier
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I got this for my daughter for her fourth birthday and could not be happier with my choice. After reading endless scooter reviews I decided that this style would be best for my toddler in terms of safety and confidence building. I went against the advice of a six year-old neighbor, who said she found it really hard to ride. I guess bigger kids are confident enough to ride further back on the board, but little kids tend to lean forward, and mine is no exception. I'm even happy to let her ride this around the house as the wheels don't scratch the floor or leave marks. My 22 month-old has even started riding it, which is great since she will inherit it when her sister's ready to upgrade. Amazon delivered super fast with minimal packaging, which I also appreciated.Customer Review: Love this scooter!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My 2 1/2 year old twins have had so much fun with these scooters this summer. Until I found this scooter, they were always trying to play with their 7 year old sister's Razor scooter. They didn't have they coordination to hold that up and scoot, but with this scooter they don't need that coordination. They have even learned how to use they foot brake on the back wheel. As with learning any new thing there were bumps and falls to start, but it didn't take long for them to figure it out. They are good enough that I even feel comfortable letting them scooter to the park that is a few blocks from our home. I make them carry their scooter when we cross streets, but they do great scooting on the uneven sidewalks.Customer Review: Mini Kick Scooter
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Our packages arrived quickly using standard shipping. We charged up the electric screw drivers but, surprise, surprise, the scooters arrived assembled. All we had to do was insert the handles. Our twin grandchildren, age 34 months, had no difficulty using their scooters immediately. The boy even put both feet on and coasted without instruction. They were wearing helmets, but the scooters were so well balanced I had no concern for their safety. We were able to order them in their favorite colors - pink and blue. The only thing was, I hadn't expected them to be so small. The twins are small and that was fine for them. However, I wondered if the scooter would last until age five for bigger children.Customer Review: Best scooter for toddler
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is by far the best scooter for toddlers. My 2 year old got one for Christmas and has mastered racing around and "steering" this thing all over the place. She uses it every day for at least an hour, at minimum! It has been the best gift yet because she can play with all the older kids around her and not feel left out. This scooter can go fast, is low to ground, and easy to maneuver. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a toddler scooter. My daughter has access to many types of scooters at her class and they can't even compare to the ease of use and maneuverability. She loses interest in the others almost as soon as she gets on them. Worth the money and then some....
