The scooter is ideal for a little one to start learning, around 1.5 years old. Very stable and easy to have both feet up in a normal position. Wheels, handlebars, materials, etc... all great. When they learn to glide properly, you will find that they can't gain speed easily, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. At such ages, you prefer very basic use. It seems that it can withstand many years and pass through several hands, so definitely a good choice.
