Childs two wheel scooters - any buying advice.
Discussion
Not exactly pedal powered but pretty close so posted here.
My daughter has asked for a two wheeled scooter for her 6th birthday. Currently out grown and confident on a three wheeled. So what makes a good two-wheeled scooter? I have no idea and could spend a few quid or a few hundred (I won't!)
She'll use it on street and in skate park - she'll eventually go up and down ramps but she won't be doing major jumps or stunts like some of the fearless teenagers at the park.
Some seem to have tiny wheels and look like they are tiring to move on all but super smooth surfaces. Is there a wheel size that is best? Personally I hate how some sound so noisy as they roll along...
Any advice welcome, brands to avoid, features to look out for etc. Thanks in advance.

dunno about brands, but if you plan on taking her to the skate park with it, you need one with the softest spec wheels you can find.
the usual cheapy harder grade wheels offer absolutely no grip at the skate park and will just frustrate her!

Both my kids had mini micro scooters, with two wheels at the front. My 5 year old had outgrown his mini micro, so we got him a two wheeled scooter from amazon:

It's fairly lightweight (although heavier than his old one) with quiet wheels, and it's weight rated up to 100kg so I can ride it!
His is black and light blue, but it comes in several colours, and is cheap enough. Trouble is, he outgrew his old bike, so he also got a new Frog 48 bike which he always opts to ride instead of the scooter.
