Yvolution Y Glider Refresh Deluxe Scooter review


We were recently sent the Yvolution Y Glider Refresh scooter to review which I can tell you now has caused alot of excitement in our house. My Son Son loves to travel fast he loves his balance bike and therefore has never really got to grips with a scooter. I think because he goes so fast he prefers to just use the bike. SO I thought the Yvolution Y Glider scooter would be perfect for him to learn to use a scooter. 


Son Son has always struggled to balance on a scooter so the fact that the scooter had three wheels made it more stable for him to start learning how to use the scooter. The scooter is surprisingly light and to start off with we practiced in the front room. Its only a light scooter so didn't wreck the carpet like other scooters have before. The scooter can be customised as it comes with colourful inserts for the wheels as you can see in the photo below sonny only wanted a purple insert and that was it. You can also change the front of the scooter to red also.



This scooter was perfect for sonny learning as it is has a special steering system where you lean to the side to turn the scooter. Which when you are learning is great as you can get to grips with going in a straight line first. Son Son took a while to learn to steer the scooter he kept on stopping and turning the scooter by picking it up. After a while he learned to turn and was ever so proud of himself.


You can change the steering from loose to firm to go with your childs needs. Sonny is three and it was the perfect size for him. Its also very light so easily carried when he has had enough. After a few tries he was a pro and was going really fast. This scooter is perfect for any child learning to scoot or even pro riders we have loved testing it out.


The Yvolution Y Glider Refresh Scooter is retailing at £39.99 and is an absolute bargain. You can find the scooter at mother care and most toy retailers. . Its light and made to a high quality. Perfect for the Autumn months scooting about.

Scootaheadz Dinosaur Timmy T Rex Review


There is one thing my children are really good at and its going really fast. Sometimes in the wrong direction but they love anything that aids it, that often involves scooters and bikes. We were recently offered the chance to review a Scootaheadz (see photo above). Son Son loves dinosaurs and he loves riding about. Sadly our scooter was to clunky for it to fit on but it fitted perfectly on Son Sons balance bike. Its so bright and cheerful makes his bike look super cool.


Attaching Timmy to the handle bars was a breeze the scootaheadz is made out of rubber so fits on to any T Bar handle bar. All it takes is three easy steps which are easy if you follow them. If your a rebel like me you will spend ages working it out then finding the packet and realising it was super easy to put on. A top tip is to wait till the Scootaheadz is room temperature or warmer as it is easier to put on.


Son Son loved it and kept on roaring like a Dinosaur (if they did nobody knows). I think it makes the balance bike look much more personalised. It came off once sprung our trip only because of a jealious older sister who wanted it on her bike. The Scootaheadz is made for scooters which makes a scooter look much more cool than before. Its not just dinosaur Scootaheadz you can get a horse and unicorn design too. All the designs are just as bright and colourful too. 


Scootaheadz retail at £14.99 and are available online and now at most larger toy shops. We personally love it well me and Son Son that is. Ami is rather Jealous she doesnt have one. Might have to buy her the unicorn one to keep hr quiet.

Teletubbies Po's Scooter and Helmet review.


Its funny when something from your childhood makes a big come back it seems to be happening a lot lately which is cool. My little ones love Teletubbies and we were thrilled to be asked to review the Po Scooter and Helmet. My little ones love to be on the move and never stop so it was perfect for them. The scooter is easy to put together and comes in three main parts, allan keys are provided in the box so after some gentle peer pressure from the kids I was off making the scooter. The Helmet also comes with a loop so you can look like Po (photo of the helmet at the end with Po attachment). 


What I didnt realise is that the Teletubbies scooter came with some sounds too, in the garden I could hear this little voice and the kids laughing. There was me wondering what the noise was and it was in fact the scooter, which has two little buttons that make some Po sound effects. The bottom of the scooter has a picture of Po on the Anti-slip foot plate. 


The Helmet and the scooter both has such bold and bright designs it will be hard not to be noticed when zooming around. All very iconic to the Teletubbies brand. The scooter has three wheels which are puncture proof too, the three wheels are perfect for little ones learning to ride a scooter for the first time as it does provide some stability. Son Son who is very confidant on a balance bike has yet to master a scooter this was perfect as it didn't keep on falling down and was always upright. 


The Helmet is great too in helping to keep your child safe whilst on the scooter. Helps your little one think they are just like Po too. The Helmet comes with adjustable straps, quick release buckle and a ESP liner for added comfort. It is also super light so they almost forget they are wearing it. My little ones often complain to wear helmets for a long time so this was an added bonus to that. The holes in the Helmet make sure its well ventilated but poor Son Son that boy can sweat for England so was helpful in that aspect. Last not to forget the most important part the Po antenna which can be removed   but looks cool on. 



My little ones have loved testing out the Po scooter and Helmet and has been a deffinite win in our house. The summer may be over but Autumn is a fantastic month to keep being active especially with a scooter at the park. 


The scooter Retails at £29.99 and the Helmet £24.99 and available at the following shops 

Very, Littlewoods, Tesco, TRU, Argos, Boots and Halfords
