Scooters are an excellent way for young children to learn and develop their balance and motor skills. The Mini Deluxe scooter has been around for many years and is one of the very best in the category. Now it’s gotten an upgrade, and it is a welcome one, according to our parent testers. The Mini Deluxe ECO has parts made from recycled fishing gear, including nets, ropes, and other plastic waste. It is important to this generation of parents to support companies that are aware of their carbon footprint and are trying to do something to help the planet. In addition to helping clean up the oceans, Micro Kickboard donates a portion of annual sales to support environmental efforts worldwide. This garners huge praise from testers. The Mini Deluxe ECO scooter can grow with your child. The handlebars allow for height adjustment up to 25 inches, making this a toy that can be played with for several years. It’s stable enough to allow young children to gain confidence riding and encourages older children to get out and ride. Additionally, the scooter has a lightweight design that makes it easy for kids to maneuver and control. The scooter can become very speedy, so parents urge caution to ease into it, especially with younger and new scooter enthusiasts. A brake in the back works quickly, so younger kids may need to get the hang of lifting their foot back to reach it. It’s a skill, so they will improve as they practice and learn, as is the case with anything on wheels. Important reminder: Ensure your child wears a helmet before hopping on and taking off. Parents will find the scooter base, handlebars, and Allen keys to put the scooter together, inside the box. Assembly takes just a few minutes, and your child can be off and riding around the neighborhood in less than five minutes. Adjusting the handlebars’ height is simple enough if multiple children will be sharing the same scooter. If anything breaks on the scooter, the company notes that all parts are replaceable, making the price point easier to swallow since you will not have to replace the entire scooter if something stops working. Knowing that the Mini Deluxe ECO scooter is made from sustainable materials and can grow with your child made the higher price point one that parents felt okay with.
