This is a wonderful scooter. My daughter has already had hours of fun on it, and due to the adjustable handlebars I anticipate that she will be able to use it for years to come. She is 5 years old and on the shorter end (about 36" tall) and it works well for her. The handlebars could even be adjusted a bit lower for a shorter child. The quality of this scooter is exceptional for the price, and it is easy to fold up one-handed. As a bonus, when folded it fits easily into the bottom of my umbrella stroller, so she can scooter to the library or store when I push her little brother in the stroller and it can go in the stroller when we go inside.
