Razor Scooter Review

Growing up when I did (just before the discovery of color), a common rite of passage was building your first scooter with your dad.  A wooden milk crate, a plank and an old skate was what you needed.  A hammer and nails, maybe some handles fashioned out of wood and a splash of paint and you were set.  You got your first dose of independence and mobility.

These days, milk crates are usually plastic and when was the last time you saw skates that clamped to your shoes, huh?

But these days we have the Razor Scooter.  Okay, so you don't get to build it with your dad, it is still way cool!

Light-weight and shiny it glides so effortlessly around the cul de sac.

When we bought our daughter, Jenna her Razor, it was an awful lot of fun teaching her how to use it.  It's a surprisingly strong little platform because I probably used it as much as she did that first day. 

When you're finished using it for the day, the handle can be folded toward the platform so it takes little space in the garage or playroom.  Try doing that with a milk-crate scooter.

My Viewpoint

When it gets harder and harder to pull your child away from the computer or game console, the Razor Scooter is an ideal toy to get the kids outside.  And then there's also the sense of independence and mobility you'll give them.  I highly recommend it.  You might want to put it on your Holiday shopping list.  Figure on about $30.
