Scooter for 7yr old girl - any recommendations?

My dd2 will be 7 shortly, she currently has a cheap pink 2 wheeled scooter from Argos that she's been riding for a few years. It is very noisy & rattly but still going strong. Her younger sister has just had a mini micro scooter which dd2 loves & dd1 is very jealous of. So was thinking of getting dd1 a better scooter for her birthday. She has just started doing little jumps on hers so was thinking of getting more of a stunt one that way at least it is guarateed in case she damages it while jumping. Have been looking but they are very expensive, any recommendations anyone?

My 8 year old DD has got the bigger micro scooter-they are fab.

Thanks, I was wondering about the bigger micro one but wondered if she would find it hard steering being so used to a "normal" one. I'm getting so confused looking at JD Bug's & Blaze ones as well!

DS tried the JD bugs but they are really noisy and he said you could really feel the judder as it clonked down the road!

DS has the funky micro scooter with the joystick handle-he loves it and he's 10!

Oh no I'm so confused. Dd1 would love a Maxi Micro but I'm concerned she would think it babyish after having a 2 wheeled one but I know they are smooth & well made. She doesn't do stunts as such just little bunny hops but I so want a smooth quiet one as the noise is driving me mad!

DS1 has the micro sprite and it's excellent and still 2 wheeled.
there are kids at his school with the maxi micro though and no-one seems to think they'r ebabyish

thisisyesterday - Is the sprite quiet & smooth? Thats my main need & also that it will stand up to bunny hops. Dh thinks this is such a frivilous purchase I really don't want to get one that doesn't tick all the boxes. Would hate him to be proved right after all ;)

yes, it is. it was my main criteria because I can't stand the horrible noise a lot of them make :)
