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: LOVE, LOVE this scooter!!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We bought this scotter for our older son from Huffy. He loved it and was great at it by age 2. I was so dissappointed when our daughter was 18 mos and we found that Huffy discontinued this model. Friends had bought Huffys new model and were REALLY DISAPPOINTED. We purchased this one for our daughter and she is riding it like a champ. She will be two in a month. It is easy to steer and low to the ground so it is right up the alley of a toddler. Also, it is awesome because the two wheels are up front rather than the back. When the two wheels are at the back the little guys hit their ankles on the bolts of the wheels. so, this is the perfect scooter all around.Customer Review: Perfect.

I did a lot of research before buying this scooter for my (just turned) two year old. She loves it! The size is perfect. Goes together in seconds. It's low to the ground and very stable. She can't always pedal and turn at the same time, but I'm sure after a bit, she'll figure it out. She just stops and moves the front if she doesn't make the turn in time. She has never fallen down with this one.
It turns by the child simply leaning the direction they want to go. Really neat, if you ask me. No jack knifing, etc. I would definitely spend the extra money on this.
My almost 5 year old can easily ride it, too. I'm so happy with this purchase.
Customer Review: The absolute best scooter!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We bought this for my daughter's second birthday and she LOVES it. She has 2 tricycles, but she never wants to ride them, just her scooter. She mastered riding it very quickly, except for the brake, which she is still working on. She rides with a 4 and a 5 year old and she is much faster than either of them! Her friends 3-wheel scooters (other brands, both of which have 2 wheels in the back) look so rickety and dangerous compared to her Mini Kick which glides very smoothly and is easy to steer. We lost her original Mini-Kick scooter during a hotel stay and it was dearly missed so we had to purchase a second one, and we would do it again if needed.Customer Review: Per manufacturers website, the weight limit is 70 lbs; Not 44 lbs! :-)
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I was considering purchasing this for my 5 year girl but when I saw the weight restriction of 44 lbs, I was hesitant thinking she would outgrow it within the next year.
However, after checking out the manufacturers website, I found this when has now made me decide to purchase this safer looking scooter than others for my little girl:
"* The mini scooter is designed with a weight recommendation of 70lbs. Please note that the bottom of the scooter shows a weight limit of 20kg, which is 44 lbs. The reason for the discrepancy is that European standards dictate that weights are displayed only in increments of 20, 50 and 100kg."
Customer Review: Worth the dollars. Very good for a 3 yr old!

We purchased this for our 38 month old daughter to ride. For months prior to making this purchase, I watched tots with other scooters struggle to keep the front wheels straight or struggle with the little wheels of their scooters getting stuck. No problem with this one. My 40 pound daughter loves this toy. It's her favorite Christmas present. She pushed it around the house for the first few days to get a handle of it and now is able to control and ride it around the neighborhood and parks. No wonder it received the awards! I strongly recommend using a helmet at all times because this scooter is also quite fast!
