I am a big believer in getting involved in Leo’s play, and
as one of Leo’s favourite pastimes happens to be scooting, I wanted to get
involved and join in with the fun he has. Leo is getting to an age now where he
is using his scooter more and more, and we are even beginning to take it out
and about with us so that if he gets tired he doesn’t have to walk. It is also
a way to encourage him to walk more and stay down on the ground, because 9
times out of 10 he will usually demand to be carried.
Micro Scooter very kindly sent me the Micro Floral WhiteScooter so that I could attempt to keep up with my toddler, and over the last
few months I have been putting it through its paces and have been really
enjoying using it. In fact Leo has been really enjoying me using it too, it has
given a lot more opportunity to get outside and play in this beautiful weather
we have been graced with of late.
The Micro Scooter arrived very quickly after the order was
placed, I was kept up to speed with where it was at any one time and also told
when it would be arriving. I could not fault the Micro Scooter website if I
tried, everything is clearly laid out and easy to navigate and the order
process is fantastic.
The scooter was delivered by courier and I was impressed
with how promptly it arrived from the point of order. The scooter required no
assembly and was just a case of popping up the handle, and it was ready to hit
the great outdoors with my little man.
The scooter handles really well and after I found my confidence
(having not scooted since I was a child!) I was keeping up with Leo no problem,
and he absolutely loved that his Mummy had her own set of wheels.
The scooter has been perfectly designed for adults (or
bigger kids in my case) and boasts a larger frame and bigger wheels in order to
allow taller riders to enjoy scooting, and even get out and about with the
kids. The handlebar is height adjustable so I can quickly and easily adjust
this within a few moments, this means that regardless of your age or height,
you are never too tall to enjoy the Adult Micro Scooter!
The fact that I can fold the scooter down to cart around
with me is just super, and it will come in really handy when we go away as a
family. Leo is so pleased that Mummy has her very own scooter, and the novelty
hasn’t worn off. Having your 3 year old invite you out to play has to be the
best feeling ever!
Driving the scooter has proven incredibly easy, it’s simple
a case of leaning and steering the scooter in the direction that you wish. It
glides along smoothly because the deck is lower to the floor, which is also
good in case I mis-judge the steering and decide to throw myself off. I would
be telling a white lie if I said I hadn’t got a little carried away with my
scooting!

I personally loved being able to scoot the summer days away
with Leo, and now he is getting older there is going to be so much more
opportunity for us to get out and about on our scooters. Your only as old as
you feel, and I think I am destined to be a big kid for the rest of my days, so
one day when you come across a scooting Granny, the chances are that it is me
on my much loved Floral White Micro Scooter.
You can check out the full Adult Micro Scooter range on
their website, and you can pick up the Floral White Micro Scooter for £169.95.
