Globber 4 in 1 Scooter Ride O

 

Santa got scooters for the whole family, and when our 15-month-old daughter saw the four of them lined up on Christmas morning, without any coaxing she walked up to this one, pulled it forwards, and got on.

We chose this one for its versatility as well as for its suitability for a young toddler. The seat at its lowest position is about 9.125 inches from the ground, and the design puts the handlebars at the perfect position. The push handle that later turns into the scooter handlebars is a nice touch, and this scooter should grow with her and suit her for years.

The scooter rolls nicely and seems stable. Its lean-to-steer seems very stiff when you’re using the handle to push just the empty scooter, but with the weight of a kid on it, it turns okay, though not as sharply as her brother’s scooter, which has a similar mechanism. (At almost 18 months now, our daughter still can’t really steer by herself yet anyway, though a caregiver can do it easily with the push handle.)

For a while our daughter almost seemed to prefer her brother’s scooter, which has a wider wheel base and platform, and a bigger seat. On that one she could back up more easily at first, without running over her own toes. On this one she’s had to learn how to keep her feet out of the way. (A problem with the other scooter is that its handlebars are right in front of her face in their lowest position, and while she can still hold onto them, it seems more awkward and dangerous. In contrast, the handlebars on this one are perfect for her.)

A final note for now is that at 17.5 months it looked like our daughter could benefit from the seat being raised, but the second hole on the seat post was too high. I drilled a hole at the middle distance between the two that it came with, and that’s working perfectly. At just the right time, too, as she’d been wanting to be pushed a lot recently, but now she’s inspired to get on her scooter by herself quite a bit.

(BTW, Amazon promised me a joke if I wrote seven reviews in a row. Seven reviews later, no joke was provided. Joke’s on me I guess.)

 

El patinete es ideal para nios menores de dos aos, ya que al poder empujarlo les ayuda a los nios que an no saben manejarlo y conforme van creciendo vas adaptndolo por lo que les sirve hasta los 5 o 6 aos.

 

Enfant heureux. Parents heureux. vite d emporter la poussette pour de petits trajets et le petit garon est trs fier de “faire du velo” dirig par les parents. Trs solide.

 

Un jouet incontournable et trs bien pens partir de 15 mois.
Evolutif et solide, c’est une trs belle trouvaille ! Malgr les petites roues, il roule trs bien mme dans le gazon et terre battue. Facile manier et ranger dans le coffre de la voiture.

 

My son has always hated his pushchair and we gave up and got him this for his 2nd birthday. What a difference. It’s light and nimble and he loves riding it. He’s almost 3 now and has just ventured into the scooting arena. It’s solid and I’d imagine we’ll get a few more years out of it. After a year and a lot of miles the lights on the wheels still work.

 

J’aime : le passage hyper simple d’un mode l’autre, a prend vraiment 3 secondes pour passer de la draisienne la trottinette. Pas si compliqu de tourner, il faut pencher, c’est un coup de main prendre.
Je n’aime pas : le manque de repose-pieds, j’en ai ajout un que j’ai achet part (je l’ai install sur la photo) car c’est vraiment utile pour que l’enfant n’ait pas les pieds qui tranent par terre.
Conclusion : bon achat mais je recommande un autre modle de la mme marque avec repose-pieds.

 

This is amazing! Takes way less space than a buggy and my son is enjoying the ride every time.
This is a very practical scooter and is worth every penny!

 

Fantastic. We’ve used it almost every day for over a year… Sturdy and many years to go with it! Kids love it and it allowed us ditch the buggy early!! Worth every penny!

 

This ride-on has made the nursery run much less stressful with my buggy-hating 2-yr old. The tears and protests have been replaced by laughter all the way there. We get around as quickly as with the pushchair and because I can push this with one hand, I have the other hand free to hold other items. Now that I’ve got the hang of steering, I am more confident. But I still keep an eye out for bumps on the road as I think it could tip forward if we hit a bump. It is very light and therefore easy to carry up the stairs.

I don’t think she is ever going to get into her buggy again.

 

This product is brilliant, we have had one for both our children now and it grows with them so no need to replace. The only downside is that if they decide to use the seat and move their feet to move then they could easily fall forwards face first if going over a stick or a stone. In our case, it was in a huge puddle. Didn’t stop her though and she continues to love going on it.
