Maxi Scooters by Micro Kickboard were already considered by many of our testers to be one of the best products on the market when it comes to scooters. Now they’ve “kicked it up a notch” by making it eco friendly. It still has the same great features like weight-shift steering, easy gliding polyurethane wheels, a simple adjustable handlebar, and extra grips on the footplate along with grips and cushioning on the handlebars. Still, this one has a footplate and brake made from recycled fishing net plastic from the oceans! This keeps our oceans cleaner and safer and allows you to feel good about going green…in more ways than one. The new scooter’s dark green color resembles a shiny emerald, reminding you of the sea and your choice to support the planet. The color is also gender-neutral. The only excess packaging is the cardboard box it comes in, which is also recyclable. Even the paper packet with directions in multiple languages is biodegradable. The scooter itself already comes almost completely assembled. Putting it together only requires the push of a button to fasten the handlebar, and you’re ready to scoot. The quality of the scooter and the fact that it will grow with your child over the next several years makes the slightly high price more than reasonable. The age is capped at twelve, based on a weight limit of 110 lbs. If your child remains under the weight limit and the adjustable handlebar fits their height, they could use it even longer. As a bonus, the smooth ride and lean-to-steer feature helps your child develop better balance and coordination while having fun and staying safe. It all adds up to a solid Seal of Approval win.
