maxi kick Scooter - PURPLE with T-BAR Steering. Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold and Platinum Seal Awards, 2009 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this for our 5-year old daughter.Overall the kids would give it 5 stars for sheer fun, and I love that it gets them active outside and they don't complain about taking walks with us.I did take off a star for poor customer service (see below) and not being able to fold, or at least easily remove the handle bar for travel.

We debated mini or maxi (daughter is VERY short for 5), due to its adjustability the Maxi was the right choice.In lowest position its handle height is the same as the mini.WE purchased directly from the manufacturer website.When one of the handlebar covers broke (circular, round rubber ball piece on the end cracked and eventually fell off completely), they (kickboard USA) did not respond to our request for a replacement, despite the defect occurring the day after we received the scooter!So we were disappointed with the customer service, particularly given the price of the scooter.

Having said that, my daughter adores the scooter!She simply could not balance a razor, no matter how hard she tried.She picked up on the steering very quickly, less than a day.Many of my neighbors ask me where I got it, their little ones enjoy it too!It provides a fast and smooth ride.I had reservations when I saw the plastic board, and plastic parts, but it seems better made than my son's razor which lasted less than a year.We've had this for 6 months and aside from the handlbar-cover problem, it's going strong.Also, my son (8) prefers it to his old razor.They argue over it so much we are going to get a second one for him, this time we'll get it from Amazon.It has been indispensible for trips to NYC because the kids don't complain about walking long distances.

Note - it does NOT fold, a feature that would be very helpful.Although it arrived in two pieces, now that we have attached the T-bar handle to the board we have been unable to take it off again, making trips on the subway a little more difficult.It is very light, a huge plus.It's nice they've expanded the color options, when we purchased it was either black or purple.The purple appears exactly as on my web browser.
