Was offered my first daughter after having a scooter with a handlebar turning, she had great difficulty in adapting to the new technique for turning. For you must know that the handlebar does not rotate. If the child wants to turn it must lean left or right like a skateboard. So, we abandoned this scooter to offer it to our second, which itself has not experienced handlebar spinning. So actually she struggled at first but in the end it is done and it's all right. She gets there very well and she's only 2 years. So we can say that it has not been too difficult. The big advantage of this scooter is that it is not noisy at all. To practice at the beginning, my second was in the house on the floor and I assure you that it makes no noise. It is very resistant and lightweight.
