Dora the Explorer Three-Wheeled Scooter

We bought these scooters for our 3 year old twins. Cute scooters... very sturdy and they love that they can carry their snacks or cups to the park in the little handle-bar bag. However, both kids have cut up their ankles on these scooters because the back wheels have little bolts that stick out. They don't stick out too far, but enough to catch their little ankles when they are scooting along. I am going to try to find bolt covers at a hardware store - hopefully that will help.

I am also amazed at how many positive reviews there are on this scooter. I'll start off with the construction. My daughter is 4 years old and of average height. There is only room for one of her feet to be on the scooter. It's basically a one footed scooter. They really needed to extend the body of the scooter back about 6 inches to accomodate 2 feet so a youngster can coast with both feet on it. The entire rear wheel assembly is cheaply made. The screws that hold on the wheels not only stick out and hurt my daughter but they have fallen off twice. If you tighten the bolts too much then the wheels don't turn without a lot of friction on the cheap plastic bushings.

The pros, it's a DORA scooter with a cute backpack.

I bought this when Amazon was directly selling them with free shipping and it was also on sale for $14.

I was weary when ordering it becuase of the description of the size:
"Measures 10 inches long by 4-1/2 inches wide by 12-1/4 inches tall"

I have no idea where they got those measurements. Its quite a bit larger than that.

The handle bars are a minimum of 25" off the ground or 21" higher than the place where your feet go.

Its 23" long from back of the back wheel to the front of the front wheel.

My kids love it.
