Our Short complained for a long time about his old scooter, so a replacement was needed. Now OK, a 5-year-old does not just care with his things in order and I was reluctant to buy an expensive. A cheap I had already bought and that was a total letdown. This scooter seemed promising and I just ordered him time. It is quiet, robust and rolls well. The handles are not so hot, but I think that in a few months from now and use and must be replaced. My short but does not interfere with. The stand is "nice-to-have" but out you only get it if you stoops and operated by hand. It does not bother him in the least. The shape is a bit strange, at least the short often skin the ankle to the bulges, but men hold something well made. I asked if I should send him back ... He responded with the utter conviction that the "hottest" is scooter, which he had ever seen. What should I say. Sometimes parents opinions and children's opinions are slightly apart. The scooter belongs to the child and is fully satisfied, so 5 stars for the scooter.
