Tour the neighborhood in style and promote healthy child exercise with this Barbie-themed scooter. Embellished with the Barbie logo and cast in an eye-grabbing pink and purple color combination, this novice-friendly scooter is also foldable and lightweight for easy toting and storage. This scooter folds compactly and locks into place for easy transport. This scooter's pink-and-lavender coloring is accented with swirly flower decorations. It features an aluminum footdeck with professionally designed grip deck, clear-colored 4-inch wheels, and T-handle bar with padded foam grips in green. The rear fender doubles as a foot brake for safe stopping. The handlebar can be lengthened or shortened as needed. The grips can be detached from the T-bar (they're connected via a bungee cord looped through the handle) and stored in clips along the shaft when folding for storage. This scooter is made for children 5 years and older, and it has a maximum weight capacity of 130 pounds. It's backed by a lifetime warranty on the frame and fork. The Story of Barbie Inspired by her daughter's fascination with cutout paper dolls, Ruth Handler suggests making a three-dimensional doll through which little girls could play out their dreams. She names the doll "Barbie," after her own daughter Barbara's nickname. Barbie soon leads Mattel to the forefront of the toy industry and fascinates generations of young girls.
It's not a Razor, but it's racy enough for a beginner. A hot pink stand-out in any public park, this manual scooter looks and rides swell, then folds up to fit into an 8-inch wide space. Unfolded and ready to go, its 31 inches high from the bottom of its clear, hard rubber wheels to the top of its easy-grip, collapsible, purple handlebars. The footboard is 20-inch long, too small for teenaged feet. All parents have to do is keep a good look out for beginner spills, or adjust the height and angle of the steering column for a different ride. Kids can take it from there. In case your kid likes to burn rubber, however, take time to teach her how to use the friction footbrake, located at the rear of the aluminum board. --Diane Beall
