We have had plenty of these over the years and they don't disappoint. We have an old one that's rusty and it's starting to get wobbly. I was excited to see Amazon had them $10 cheaper than retail stores on average. This scooter is made of metal and sneakers or hard shoes need to be worn when operating it. As other safety gear should be worn too but no flip flops. It has a nice adjustable bar and my two year old can have the hand grips at a good height even at his age. It is not intended for children his age though so use extreme caution if a child under 5 uses it.
