The mini kick was awarded the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold and Platinum Award Seals for Best Toy in 2009. Available now in Aqua, Orange, Blue or Pink, the mini scooter is the quality scooter for young children. Its unique 'lean-and-steer' design allows children to use their body weight to control the steering, giving kids the feeling of 'surfing' the sidewalk, as they curve from right to left, almost like a skateboard, adding an element of fun and control that young children love. The mini is designed with 3 wheels for greater stability. The Italian-made wheels, of highest quality PU create a wonderfully smooth glide -- and a quiet ride (a joy for parents and children alike!). The kickboard is low-to-the-ground and large enough for both feet, making it easy for young children to hop on and off and to switch from pushing, to just enjoying the ride, with both feet on deck. The 'spoon' brake at the back adds additional control, and kids like it because its just like the 'big kid' scooters. For parents, the mini scooter's light weight (only 3.3lbs), means it's easy to pick up and carry when need be. The mini makes scooting fun for young children at the same time as helping to develop their balance, co-ordination and motor skills. The mini scooter is designed with a weight recommendation of 60lbs. Please note that the scooter displays a weight limit of 20kg (44 lbs). The reason for the discrepancy is that European standards dictate that weights are approved and displayed only in increments of 10 kg (22lbs), so the next available weight category of 30 kg, or 66 lbs, would have put the displayed recommended weight limit OVER its actual recommendation of 60 lbs. For fun and transport, the mini kick scooter is quality choice.
