I have bought my DD2 and DS1 a Micro Mini through Early Learning Centre. They are the best scooters and I would highly recommend them! They are on them constantly and would probably take them to bed if I allowed it!

Does the micro mini handles turn or do kids just lean?

Kids lean and the front wheels turn.

I bought a Micro mini for my DS for his 2nd birthday. He didnt really start using till he was 3. Loves riding it now but has outgrown it size wise.

I second the micro mini- mine started using it fairly well at about 20 months, and is pretty much never off it.

I'll get back to you on that one.
My DD also has the micro mini. We also got hers at 2 as big brother has just got a scooter and all she wanted to do was be on his. But once she got her own she didn't really use it until she was 3. I see now you can get some kind of seat thing for the micro mini which turns it into a balance bike of sorts. Have a look on their web site.

The Micro Mini is fabulous. We have had lots of cheap scooters that we are useless. DS2 started scooting on this one on his second birthday. Avoid any scooter with 2 wheels at the back - they are too hard to go fast on.

ANother one recommending the mini micro.

We got it for our 3.5 year old and he loved it. It's since been handed down to his younger brother who rode it from when he was just over two.
