Toys and Games Reviews of Radio Flyer My 1st Scooter Red

Customer Review: Great first scooter
Summary: 5 Stars

We live in a mild area, so my daughter was able to take her scooter out and use it even though it was a holiday gift. She really enjoys it, although she doesn't have it down perfectly yet. She's five.

The scooter is very well made, even though it's plastic. The base is very sturdy and larger than other scooters and the wheels move smoothly. The handle really moves the front wheels as it should. Some of the other beginner scooters don't have this option and actually don't have moving front wheels.

The moving axle/front wheels and non-hollow wheels were the main selling point for me.

I think this scooter CAN go fast, too, once they are ready to move a bit faster. I tried it out, as well, and it seemed to really start moving. However, she's pushing it a bit more slowly, and is more tentative with it. We've only been out with it twice so far, but I do think it's a worthwhile purchase and an excellent first scooter-- especially in comparison with the others out there.

One more thing: we did, at one time, have a Kettler Scooter Fox TR Height-Adjustable Scooter that I purchased for my 12 year old son when he was five or so. It had a rear brake (the radio flyer does NOT have a brake) and he didn't use it too often (went right for the faster razor scooter). I had saved this but I think it was stolen, because when I went to find it for my daughter, it was nowhere to be found and I had recalled taking it out over the summer. Anyways, I do think this scooter is a better option. This one has three wheels and a larger base. It's also less than half the cost. Kettler does make some three-wheeled scooters, too, but I haven't used those. We never found the rear brake too easy to use, I remember, because it's easy to press down too fast. And, really, the brake isn't necessary. Kettler's did have rubber-coated wheels, though (more like tires without need to inflate), so the wheels were definitely better, But, these wheels are perfectly fine. If my daughter really starts using her scooter a lot, I can see replacing this within a couple of years with a regular scooter. Therefore, the cost differential is significant and I wouldn't want to spend more for the Kettler scooter again. At the time I bought that, I don't think Radio Flyer made a first scooter. If you have a child or two that would also use the scooter when the first outgrows it, I would consider the three-wheeled Kettlers with the rubber wheels, since those wheels would definitely last longer than these and the added use would justify the added expense.
