That actually looks perfect for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheaper-scooter#post-2302625 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 16:44:43 +0000 PinkElephant 2302625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: That was my original plan, but my on my listserv people tend to sell the seat/o bar first, then the scooter later, so by the time I buy both I'd only save about $20, which isn't worth the effort. I was hoping to widen my scooter search by buying for DD1 since there are more options w/o a seat available. I'm definitely going to watch for a used Micro for her - worst case I resell it, right? :)</p> <p>@daniellemybelle: I have the YBike 3-in-1 for DD1; its a little cheaper than a micro mini with an O-bar and seat, but not much. We like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheaper-scooter#post-2302561 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 15:46:26 +0000 hilsy85 2302561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: can you just get a used one to give to LO2? in that case? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheaper-scooter#post-2302467 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 14:33:11 +0000 daniellemybelle 2302467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following along - I want to get LO a scooter for her 2nd birthday. For some reason, I can't find the Micro Mini anywhere online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheaper-scooter#post-2302310 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 13:25:50 +0000 PinkElephant 2302310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the insight, ladies! I'd been looking at a Razor scooter for toddlers, but am a little worried that the folding aspect would make it less sturdy. Local Listserv is definitely an option, but I do worry that if it doesn't look as new as her current scooter, she'll back out of the offer to give hers to DD2! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheaper-scooter#post-2302124 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 11:34:14 +0000 hilsy85 2302124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just look for a used micro mini or the next one up (I think just the micro?) on parenting list serves--I see them all the time by us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheaper-scooter#post-2301964 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 09:46:26 +0000 birdofafeather 2301964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is for a younger kiddo, but I'll share my experience. We got the radio flyer my first scooter first because it was cheap and recommended but after a day's use, I realized it was not good at all: hard to steer, the tires were bad, etc. I returned it and found a used micro mini on eBay for about $20 more than I paid for the radio flyer, but it's gotten a lot more use and is way easier to use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheaper-scooter#post-2301661 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 22:21:51 +0000 PinkElephant 2301661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old is not particularly into scooter-ing, and is (supposedly) going to pass her micro mini with a seat attachment down to her little sister, who can't wait to get her hands on that scooter</p> <p>DD1 would still like to have something to scoot with friends occasionally though, so I'm looking for a decent quality (I don't want to make scooting even harder for her!) Three-wheel scooter that is less expensive than the Micro Mini or YBike versions. Oh, and it has to come in pink. :)</p> <p>Any reviews, even if they're negative, of other scooter models would be much appreciated! </p>
