Radio Flyer Pro Glider 3-Wheel Scooter Review
The Pro Glider has a great mix of speed and safety. It can ride almost as fast as a 2 wheel scooter but also maintains the safety and maneuverability of a three wheeled scooter. There are a few extra features that make this an excellent choice for toddlers. First, they included a rear break that you can step on if you want to reduce your speed and the back of the board is tapered so that you can get a clear kick path without hitting the edge of the board. The scooter also has a metal frame underneath the footboard to make it sturdier.

Features of the Radio Flyer Pro Glider 3-Wheel Scooter
This makes the deck very stable and not as wobbly. I thought that this board was a great improvement to the “My first Scooter’ series and of the many reviews I’ve read on amazon it seems it was received very well. The pro glider is a great starting scooter for ages 4-6. It is a lot of fun for toddlers to move and it can even help them develop good habits for when they get bigger scooters and bikes.
