3 wheeled scooter - 2 wheels @ front or back? (Mini Micro etc)

[JLeigh29]

DS has a balance bike he's used all of three times...he's never been interested in his trike/ride ons, but he goes back to his friends scooter over and over.

DS hasn't shown the same interest in another friends' trike...it's a 'cheaper' one, so I'm guessing it might be heavier/harder for him to use. I think it's like comparing Gala apples with Granny Smith's!

I am on the Mini Micro band wagon as well

DD is 4yrs old, has had it since 2.5yrs and is seriously the best scooter I have come across. I have two older boys and wish I had known about these earlier.

She scoots inside and out and she absolutely flies on this thing! It took her a couple of hours to get used the lean to turn, once she mastered that she was off!

I tossed up between the mini and maxi and settled on the mini.

She did not take to the balance bike at all and uses a bike with training wheels. You could easily take the mini micro in a shopping centre as long as your DS will listen to you and not scoot off. I can't keep up with DD on hers so It's used for Foot Paths and inside only.
