My 3 year old has the mini and zooms around in his. (He has since he was two). My six year old has the regular one and we go everywhere with those. I actually won an Instagram contest from them and they sent me the 10 plus year old version. So when my youngest is ready (she just turned one), the kids can all move up a scooter :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884861 Fri, 17 May 2019 11:09:41 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2884861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: thank you! We took it out for a spin this morning on his way to daycare. I’m not sure if he has the full range of motion for the wheels. Still trying to YouTube some of the scooter set up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884824 Thu, 16 May 2019 21:07:50 +0000 bhbee 2884824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: love this picture so much!! My now 4yo has LOVED his micro scooter since his 2nd bday. They can go so fast on it, he is way less interested in his bike which is so much harder to maneuver. Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884820 Thu, 16 May 2019 19:49:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2884820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is so freaking stoked to take his “skateboard” outside tomorrow. His new helmet perfectly matches the scooter. </p> [attach=3033/19/prmiaz.450x600.24B6D1C9-7636-436E-8C5D-31BB470D7EDE.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884706 Wed, 15 May 2019 20:47:16 +0000 lamariniere 2884706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can definitely attest to the success and longevity of Micro scooters! We bought our first one when DS was about 20 months (so a little too you for it, tbh), but it has lasted through two kids and we moved on to the Micro Maxi when the older one was 4, and now the younger one rides it all the time. Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884573 Wed, 15 May 2019 07:31:16 +0000 LAZB 2884573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Micro scooters are the best!

LO’s green Micro scooter 🛴 arrives tomorrow. He’s pumped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884489 Tue, 14 May 2019 14:12:06 +0000 krispi 2884489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got my daughter the adjustable micro mini scooter for her 3rd birthday last year, and she loves it! She still struggles a bit with pedaling and riding a bike, but she's a pro on her scooter. I agree that her friends with the bigger scooters like the Radio Flyer seem to struggle more versus the ones that have smaller, thinner scooters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884472 Tue, 14 May 2019 12:59:09 +0000 PinkElephant 2884472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Yup! Those are definitely some of the best out there. We’ve used them before, but bought Y-Glide scooters because they’re very very similar and about half the price. </p> <p>My eldest had this one with a detachable seat:<br /> Check out this item at Target <a href="https://www.target.com/p/yvolution-y-glider-3-in-1-scooter-pink/-/A-16339575" rel="nofollow">https://www.target.com/p/yvolution-y-glider-3-in-1-scooter-pink/-/A-16339575</a>; our youngest uses it now and it’s held up (almost years).</p> <p>My middle has the older version this model (it also comes adjustable): Check out this item at Target <a href="https://www.target.com/p/yvolution-y-glider-deluxe-1-0-blue/-/A-53714767" rel="nofollow">https://www.target.com/p/yvolution-y-glider-deluxe-1-0-blue/-/A-53714767</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884467 Tue, 14 May 2019 12:51:16 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2884467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: this brand? <a href="https://www.microkickboard.com/micro-mini-deluxe?ads_cmpid=609427561&#038;ads_adid=28552869734&#038;ads_matchtype=b&#038;ads_network=g&#038;ads_creative=230940621966&#038;ads_kw=%2Bmicro%20%2Bmini%20%2Bscooter&#038;ads_targetid=kwd-41036251063&#038;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqrHvzMqb4gIVjoCfCh2YywtgEAAYASAAEgLz0PD_BwE" rel="nofollow">https://www.microkickboard.com/micro-mini-deluxe?ads_cmpid=609427561&#038;ads_adid=28552869734&#038;ads_matchtype=b&#038;ads_network=g&#038;ads_creative=230940621966&#038;ads_kw=%2Bmicro%20%2Bmini%20%2Bscooter&#038;ads_targetid=kwd-41036251063&#038;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqrHvzMqb4gIVjoCfCh2YywtgEAAYASAAEgLz0PD_BwE</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884463 Tue, 14 May 2019 12:35:11 +0000 PinkElephant 2884463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: a nice scooter makes a difference. My five-year-old is a very proficient scooter rider, and she tried one of the character/radio Flyer models at our neighbors’ house and really struggled - it didn’t move well, IMO, The most popular ones on my kids friends are the micro mini scooters, but those are pretty expensive. My girls have the Y- bike version, which Are a bit more moderately priced, but still very good quality. They are easy to turn/the brake works well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884461 Tue, 14 May 2019 12:27:06 +0000 Petitduck 2884461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter really wanted a skateboard last Christmas (at 3). We got her a 3 wheeled scooter and she is just trying it out now that it’s getting nicer outside. She still says she wants a skateboard, but I don’t think she’ll be ready for that for quite a while! So I think a scooter is a better option for littles. Maybe they sell scooters that can become a skateboard later? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884457 Tue, 14 May 2019 12:05:30 +0000 catgirl 2884457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with others that a scooter would make more sense. DD has a globber scooter with an adjustable handlebar. She loves it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884442 Tue, 14 May 2019 11:28:52 +0000 Mrsbells 2884442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: oh no totally unrelated.

My balance-bike-hating 4 year old really loves his 3-wheeled scooter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884384 Tue, 14 May 2019 07:55:20 +0000 erinbaderin 2884384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my son (5) a skateboard for Christmas, and it's REALLY hard. To be fair, I got him a mini one, because it was cheap, and the salesperson did warn me it wasn't really the way to start, so keep that in mind. But I'd go with a scooter instead of a skateboard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884366 Tue, 14 May 2019 07:04:19 +0000 oldschooolmama 2884366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a three wheeled scooter? Those are great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884363 Tue, 14 May 2019 06:53:48 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2884363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! The more I read and try to find the best skateboard for toddlers it appears these are quite unsafe for little people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skateboards-for-toddler#post-2884352 Tue, 14 May 2019 05:44:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2884352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has outgrown his Woom balance bike, which he never quite got the gist of. Instead of getting him the next size up I’m thinking a skateboard might be better since he’s way more excited about skateboards than bikes. Any recommendations?</p> <p>LO is 38.75” tall and 38 lbs. </p>
