The Radio Flyer Scooter Is My Choice

My 3 year old Grandson, "Bubbie" has the Radio Flyer Scooter pictured here! (FYI: there is a picture of him further down the page where you can sign my guestbook.)

He loves it! He loves it so much, he is willing to wear a helmet to ride it! A must!

He rides it when we go for a walk (on mostly flat terrain) and it sure saves his Gigi's back - I don't have to carry him. He is usually way ahead of me!

Go Granny, go Granny, go Granny, go!



It folds so you can take it in the car! So easy to take along!

On this page you will find an article about the history of the kick scooter. While doing research I found two articles from vintage magazines you might also find interesting. One is an illustration for a kick scooter from 1938; the other article is about an orange crate scooter. These articles are even older than me!

There is also a source for buying the scooter and links to a few of my other toy lenses.

Have fun reading and thanks for stopping by.

History of the Kick Scooter

"The History Of Kick Scooters"

Author: Alex Stacey

The history of the kick scooter is quite interesting. Since kids have great imaginations that are uninhibited by doubt, they can create just about anything to keep themselves occupied with fun. The first kick scooters were invented by taking roller skate wheels and attaching them to a small plank of wood.

To read more go to the Article Source: The History of Kick Scooters.
