Mini micros are fabulous. They are so good. Both my boys learned to ride at about age 2. Having the 2 wheels at the front makes a huge difference than two at the back - they don't get in the way of their foot/leg as they scoot. Ours has had thrashing and it's still going strong. You can get replacement parts, but we have not needed to yet.
Learning to lean in order to turn is a great skill. So much safer than turning a handle.
We do a bit of off road scooting, but it would be hard to learn that way.
we have 2 Maxi Micro as I felt that they were an investment that they would use now and grow into also.
DD1 got hers for her 3rd birthday and was competent on it from 3.5
DD2 snaffled her older sisters from 2 and then got her own and has owned it ever since.
I love them. I just took both girls on a long walk today with DD1 (4.8 yrs) scooting on her own and dd2 scooting some of the way and being pulled by my pram strap the rest without incident. They are so easy to ride, steer, stop etc.
FWIW, my 4 yo struggled on a 2 wheeler at a friends place recently and 2 yo struggled on a 3 wheeler (1 wheel at front, 2 at back) on the Micro scooters they are fine.
