I bought this for my five year old, a friend of hers had one for her birthday, so my daughter wanted one for hers, more sold on the make up drawer, she was thrilled, however, it is extremely heavy compared to most other scooters, and it is hellishly noisy when in use, because of the weight it is quite unstable and very difficult for my daughter to use, I think by the time she can manage the weight the handle bars will be too low, even my 11 year old struggled with it and she is a seasoned scooter user. Wish I had not bought it. Really disappointed.
