annlaura Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I want to get DS4 a scooter, and I'm looking at the Radio Flyer EZ Rider and the Little Red scooters. Any experience with either? Another I should consider? http://www.amazon.com/Radio-Flyer-Ez-Rider-Scooter/dp/B002AVU3SG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1305254413&sr=8-4 http://www.amazon.com/Radio-Flyer-Little-Red-Scooter/dp/B0000859QL/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1305254413&sr=8-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Just thought I'd point out that a kid that's nearly 5 yo is old enough for a basic Razor, IMO. So I would consider that since it's more "big kid" and might last longer. And is a good product that wears reasonably well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samiam Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hmm, do you have any Razors in the neighborhood to try out, cuz I really think it is all based on ability, like much of life! My DS5 got a Razor when he was 4 (had a 3 wheel scooter already), because older DS's had them and use them all of the time. DS5 tends to be pretty athletic and advanced, just cuz he is always trying to keep up with the big boys, so we figured why not get him a Razor. But he just can not get the hang of the Razor and the balance. He still prefers to use his 3 wheeled scooter, at least for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Huh. That's funny. My can't ride a bike, somewhat uncoordinated kid got a Razor just after he turned 5 and while it's not his favorite thing and he doesn't look amazing on it, he did fine with it and still enjoys it (he's 6.5 now). So, yeah, maybe individually different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annlaura Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 I see them around the neighborhood, but we don't personally know anyone with one here. Do you suppose a store would have a display model to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbrother Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 All of my kids have a Razor scooter. I'm sure the youngest has had his since he was 4. My neighbors 3 year old has one and doesn't have any problems. We did have a 3 wheel scooter, but it actually seemed harder to control.

annlaura Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks all. We're going shopping today, so hopefully we'll find one to try. If not, he can try his cousin's in Florida when we visit in a couple weeks. Will he need the helmet/elbow pad/knee pad combo for a razor?
