Advantages: Inexpensive, looks good and loads of fun

Disadvantages: Wheels could be made of a better material

I bought this scooter for my 4 year old daughter after being attracted by the low price of £10.99. I had been looking at three wheel versions, but they all looked very plastic and babyish in comparison, and were generally more expensive. I also thought that a three wheel one would maybe see one summer's use, whereas children of all ages seem to like the nebulus scooter.

The design of the item is excellent. We chose the pink and silver version which, while still being girlish and pretty, is also trendy and appropriate for older children. The build quality is good too, with a sturdy frame and strong connecting parts. The folding mechanism is quite stiff - there is no way my daughter could do this on her own - but I find this reassuring as it means the scooter won't collapse while my daughter is riding it. The height of the handles is adjustable, so we should see many years play from it.

Once folded, the scooter is small, light and easy to carry. The wheels are average and do give a bumpy ride on some surfaces, but this does not seem to put my daughter off. The scooter also features a brake on the back wheel that is pressed by the child's foot. However, although this is a good safety feature, my daughter cannot seem to get the hang of using it, so is probably only relevant when the child is older.

Summary: fantastic buy
