From our point of view, it was very simple to assemble and only took a couple of minutes to put together and make sure that it was secure before using. It seems extremely strong and durable and should stand up to a child’s use. The easy extendable adjustment that can be made to ensure that it is the right size for your child is excellent. We would recommend using a safety helmet just in case. We found it best to use in big open spaces rather than going up and down on the pavement. Personally, I wouldn’t let the kids ride this in the house (unless you have lots of space of course) and when outdoors make sure there are no cars, parked or otherwise, as it would be so easy to scratch one or scoot into their path, and with being down so low visibility might be impeded.

The JD Bug Classic Street 120 Scooter is a great choice for growing feet due to the sturdy 4-inch wide footplate, and also keeps your little one’s standing upright, thanks to the adjustable handlebars.
