Giveaway: Maxi Kickboard Scooter

on May 4, 2009 at 7:00 AM

Maxi Kickboard Scooter,

Congratulations to our scooter winner, MadsMom04. Check back often for more chances to win cool big kid stuff.

My oldest son got a two-wheeled scooter for Christmas last year. Now that we are five months into the new year, he's ridden it, oh, about four times max. Try as he might, he just can't get his coordination together. He gets annoyed and gives up.

I sure wish we had known about the Maxi Kickboard Scooter, designed just for big kids (6-10), but with three wheels--two in the front, one in the back--it's a smooth-gliding, high performance scooter with a unique "lean-and-steer" joystick mechanism that makes it easier to ride. And no, your kid won't feel like baby on this one; it's slick.

This scooter is already hot in Europe, and many celeb moms are grabbing them up for their older kids! Want one of these extremely cool $149.99 scooters too?

Tell me:

What is your big kid's favorite outdoor activity?

My boys love to run and climb and draw with chalk when they are outside.

My daughter would flip out for one of these! She has some problems with the tendons at the back of her feet and has to wear corrective inserts in her shoes. Exercise is good for her. She adores being outside, jumping on her trampoline, riding the 4 wheeler, throwing the Frisbee and football with her dad, and just laying outside on a blanket reading. Awesome product - thanks for letting us know about it!

Both my boys love to help me in the garden and ride their various wheeled toys around our concrete patio and the schoolyard across the street. My oldest loves to climb, swing, socialize with other kids and organize games at the playground. My youngest likes to try to do everything his older brother does, and LOVES to play ball!

My 7 year old son loves to ride his bike and play football and basketball. But he would really love this scooter. A boy at his school won one and he was like "Mommy I want one".So he would be so thrilled to get one=)
