The Best Toy Of The Year Makes Great Gifts for 3 Year Old Twins and Multiples

The Mini Kick Scooter is for kids age 3-5. In 2011 the Mini was awarded the Parent's Choice Approved Seal and in 2009, it won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold and Platinum Award Seals for Best Toy. The Mini also was named 'Best Pre-School Scooter' by Toy Report, 'Best Outdoor Toy' by Learning Express Stores and was featured on the NBC Today Show as part of its 'Best Toys for Summer' series.

I would give it an award too if I could! It is one of the best gifts for a three year old or gift for a four year old.  Practically the color choices alone make it a great choice for twins, triplets and multiples. Each child can have their very own Mini Kick Scooter in their favorite color. We chose the Mini Kick Scooter as our major Christmas gift to our triplets this past year, shortly after they turned three.  I'm sure that if we gave it to them when they turned four they would have loved it just as much!

Of course we chose a green one for our son that is obsessed with the color green since this color has been assigned to him since birth. Yes, he is going to be The Green Lantern for Halloween. We chose blue for our other triplet son, also his color assigned since birth and pink for our daughter. To view a related post, GO HERE.  

Of course currently our kids have named their Mini Scooters' according to what they are completely into at the moment. Our oldest triplet considers his Mini Kick Scooter his Green Lantern scooter. Our youngest triplet believes that he is Batman. He will be Batman dressing up as Captain America for Halloween and has named his Mini Kick Scooter, the Batman Scooter. Our daughter clearly has three brothers and will be Pink Batgirl for Halloween and her scooter is her Pink Batgirl Scooter. Our twenty-two month old baby boy has a baby version of the Mini Kick Scooter. This keeps him happy too! He has to have everything that they do and be able to do whatever they are doing or he completely melts down. If you don't believe me, just ask all of the parents and kids that were at the Star Wars birthday party with us a few weeks ago. Our baby completely lost it that he could not drink the Green Yoda drink with his brothers and sister.

Anyways, they absolutely LOVE them and lately as soon as we pull in the driveway they ask me if they can ride them. So five hours later after they all go potty, have a drink of water, we come back out, get their helmets, knee pads, elbow pads and gloves on and we are ready to roll!

We chose this outdoor toy for our gift for triplets for Christmas because they were born prematurely at 29 weeks and need all the help that they can get in the motor skills, balance and coordination department. This is partly the reason this outdoor toy has won so many awards, it is designed to improve the motor skills, balance and coordination of 3 to 5 year olds.

I am a safety freak and appreciate the safety features of this product. There are not any sharp edges on the Mini Kick Scooters and the three wheels keep the rider from falling over. It includes a back brake for safety and it has a low ground clearance so that children will not have far to fall.

Another feature of this outdoor toy is that you can easily remove the steering column and store the Mini Kick Scooter very compactly. It is an extremely portable product that we are able to take with us when we travel. They enjoyed riding on their Mini Kick Scooters over Easter weekend at their Poppo's house and then again this summer at my parents' house.

I cannot say enough about this product. I know that you would not regret purchasing this as a gift for any 3 to 5 year old this Christmas.
