With some trepidation, and not a small amount of insanity, we purchased this board for my son on the occasion of his fourth birthday.  He had been asking for (that is demanding) a skateboard for months so he could be like the big boys in the neighborhood.  We ordered the board and the requisite knee and elbow pads, gave them to him, kitted him up and sent him off.  He loves this thing!  He barely rides it, mind you.  He's much more impressed with kicking it up, catching it, tucking it under his arm and parading around, making sure the older boys notice him.  When he does ride it, though, he really does have a blast.  He has yet to master getting both feet on it at once, but he's having a blast trying to learn how.  It will hold his older sister (60 lbs), but creaks under my husband (200 lbs).  It has a very cool skeleton graphic on the top and is a nice little mimic of the older boys' boards.  I highly recommend this for any other (slightly insane) mother of a 4 year old!
