I was super excited to receive this particular Vtech product, as had seen it advertised and just knew it would be perfect for our smaller grandchildren. One of them is most definitely motor bike mad, so for him, this is his dream toy.
Vtech I have found in the past are a very reliable brand for children’s toys young or old, they are innovative, well made, good value and mostly super educational, and of course really good fun for your children or in our case, grandchildren. I don’t think we or the children have ever been disappointed and we most definitely are not with this super lovely ride and balance scooter.
The ride and balance scooter is for ages 12 to 36 months and comes with the recommendation that it’s only used up to 20kg maximum weight and helps through play promote imagination motor skills and language, but it does so very much more. We especially liked the fact that you can use either as a three wheeled trike, or two wheeled scooter, as we have three small grandchildren this accommodated the different stages they were at between them, which meant we could change it around depending on who was visiting. That said when all three were here there might have been a tug of war over who played with it the most!
Grandad was in charge of assembly, it does come with a few parts to put together and the obligatory stickers, which always takes far longer than the putting together of said items, maybe because stickers are Nanny’s job. You also need a couple of AA batteries, which are not included. It’s all fairly easy and was put together in no time at all.
Kids love these sorts of toys, interactive, songs, tunes, all singing all dancing, the more the better. All of the features help your child learn while they play. They loved pretending to ride their scooter and mimic grandad when he is driving his car, we had to set up a mini driving circuit on the patio. They enjoyed turning the key to start their bike and we have been when travelling around talking about what a red traffic light means or green, so this interactive dashboard is great for reinforcing those sort of things. You are never too young to start learning and this toy certainly brings so many dimensions to learning based around riding a scooter, it’s just incredible.
They are just so delighted and engrossed with all the sounds, tunes, sing along songs. As with many Vtech toys, it’s a fun way to promote learning of numbers and colours, children soon latch on and repeat what they hear. The scooter also appeals equally to boys and girls, so is a win win in our house. The only problem we have now is do we buy another to stop the squabbling? There is lots of encouragement to share, but it’s falling on deaf ears at present, maybe Santa will bring another! Great toy and would highly recommend.
