Would it be ridiculous to buy my tall almost 2 year old the maxi micro scooter?

[Cmekrru]

I really want to buy DS a scooter for Christmas. He is tall and very confident on his feet. Not able to scoot yet but only had a couple of goes on a scooter.

I bumped into a lady today who bought her three year old the maxi micro scooter on the basis it comes with an extendable handle.

I checked out the height of the handle and it was fine for DS.

My only question is about the tilt and lean steering. As he hasn't learnt to scoot yet could he just learn to use it or would it be a nightmare and put him off.

I'm really tempted by the bigger one as handlebar at lowest is same (similar) to micro it ?folds and feels better made.

Opinions please!!

I would recommend giving the company a call and asking them as they give excellent advice. I rang them a few years back when we were upgrading ds' and they took quite a few aspects into consideration.

I reckon at this time of year lots of big toyshops will have both types out. The John Lewis near me does, I bet ToysRUs will too. Probably just best to go play with both I still think the mini though.

Definitely get a helmet! Dd smashed her helmet landing on her head flying off the mini micro as it hit a drain cover. Dread to think what would have been the outcome if she wasn't wearing it.

She's just grown out of it now, as a tall just 6 year old.
