Advantages: Nice looking scooters,very strong.

Disadvantages: As stated below.

Yes "BOB The Builder"is now available on a scooter.Well why not he appears on everything else,doesnt he?

Unless you are been living in a rabbit hole or on the planet Mars you will be aware of "Bob The Builder" a lovable television character who has become an icon within the eyes of children.

Bob is everywhere on Flasks, on lunchboxes, playstation games, clothing and now on a scooter.

But this is no micro scooter,rather an old fashioned styled three wheeled scooter.
The Recommended age group for this is 3 years and upwards.

I have at last managed to buy one of these scooters after trying for the last month to find one,I found it in my local Index store.

But be warned my branch only had two in stock,this could be due to them being a new product and classed as a summer item.

It costs £19.99 and comes compact in a easy to carry box.
It is a self assembly package and putting it together was very easy.

The only tools required to assemble the scooter are two spanners a 13mm and a 14mm to tighten the nuts and Bolts.

About the scooter presentation.
It is brightly coloured in Yellow and Blue,with nice wide EVA tyres.

The footplace platform is wide and made of good strong plastic and the main frame is made of metal to give it extra strength.

A 3D front plaque of Bob himself is attached to the handle bars,although it looks lovely, I am a little worried about the way the plaque has been attached by use of three plastic ties.
Are they strong enough to hold the plaque securely in place?
Time will tell.

The scooter has an adjustable handle height of 60-65cm,this is great for a growing child.

How well does my son ride this scooter?

He is having a bit of trouble riding this scooter at the moment,as the foot that He pushes along the ground with keeps knocking against the back wheel.
I think it has something to do with the back
wheels being set quite wide apart.

This is causing him some frustration at this present time. I am hoping he will get used to it.

All the nuts and Bolt fittings have plastic hub covers to prevent an injury.
But they dont stay on very well at all, I thought about using glue to keep them on, but then I wont be able to tighten the nuts should they come loose.

Overall it is an attractive looking scooter,which feels pretty strong.
I particularly like the "Bob" plaque and I am hoping that it does stay fixed on securely.

The three wheels are an excellant idea to give a small child confidence in the way that it gives extra balance,making them less likely to fall off.

But I cant help feeling that the wheels may be a bit too wide apart.

Don't throw the box away until, you have made a note of the maker's address.
This could be handy should you have problems with the scooter, or you need replacement parts, you never know.
There is also a customer helpline for enquirys.
