Best scooter for a toddler?

[snagito]

Hi everyone! Our son will be two and a half soon. Want to get him a scooter as a 'present' from his soon-to-arrive sibling. But quite clueless as to which one to buy - grateful for all suggestions as to what might work/not work. Please let me know if your kids of a similar age have them and if so where you bought them and what's important to look out for.

we bought ours from It's Magical in Lee Gardens, but in hindsight it's a little too old for our then 2.5 year old. It's good, and will come in useful, but when he's a little older. It has two wheels at the back & one at the front, which makes it a bit wobbly on turning. Should have bought one with 2 wheels at the front & 1 a at the back making it more stable at the front. They sell ones like that at Bumps-to-Babes.

Thank you!

so much, Katboo, that's very helpful. Will try to get one that's as stable as possible now that I know what to look out for!

have heard awesome things about this scooter called skuut in the states (www.skuut.com)... only problem is you would have to get it shipped here...

I live in Bel Air and recently saw a little boy riding this 'skuut' scooter. I thought it was awesome too.

Skuuts are fantastics, but they are bicycles not scooters unless I'm thinking of the wrong one.. Would love to be able to buy them here - you can get them in Australia too. Any chance of shopinhk getting a bulk shipment into HK, Rani? I'm sure you'd have lots of takers! Let us know if its possible!

 

[KatBoo]

I second that Rani - we'd buy one!

Snagito... do you know where in Oz I can get them? Going home this July!

Hi Spockey

They have a good website with retailer information so might be best for you to have a look and see what will be close to where you are going..

Oops! I've left this really late and now bumps to babes are out of stock of the 2 wheels in front/1 at the back type of scooters. Won't be in from the UK till August!!

Anyone seen a 2 wheels in front/1 at the back scooter for sale anywhere in HK? Toys R Us doesn't have them either. Silly silly me, why did I leave this so late :-( Baby's due in two weeks exactly so any suggestions most welcome!
