Product Review: Ozbozz Scooter
Posted in Product Reviews
How cool are these? Seriously. A scooter that can change from 4-wheel, to 3-wheel to 2-wheel as your child improves at using it. And it’s in pink. Which, although not my favourite colour in the world, looks pretty awesome sat in the middle of my lawn with a Freyja perched on it.
When we received it, it was simple to assemble (I say simple, I mean I had to get the other half to sort it because I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to building things) and since then Freyja’s been attached to it pretty much daily.
“Cooter mummy, COOTER”
“You mean Scooter darling, let’s play with it when it’s not pissing it down with rain, eh?”
“No mummy, Cooter NOW”
You get the jist.
She didn’t know how to use it to start with but didn’t take her long to figure out that you put one foot on the platform and push yourself along with the other. I should have got a video of her trying to do it the first time. It was hilarious. She put her foot on the platform, put her other foot on the floor, pushed off with it, but then didn’t figure out that you have to pick your foot back UP again, so ended up doing a very impressive splits and landing on her arse. She learned quick enough that that wasn’t quite the way you should do it.
Since then, she’s a dab hand.
She’s also a dab hand and getting me to do it.
“Mummy, your turn on cooter”
Really? Can you imagine what I look like having a go? A 27 fully grown woman on a scooter built for a preschooler? Who’s foot is almost as big as the platform? If my neighbours decide to look out of the window when I’m rolling it around my lawn, they’d have a right laugh.
Ozbozz scooters are fab. Really fab. They fold up which is really nifty, especially when Freyja’s mates are round and I have to hide it to avoid any unnecessary scraps. It’s a great toy to have for the outdoors and with an RRP of less than £20, what’s not to like?
Brill.
I was given a pink Ozbozz My First Scooter for the purpose of the review. All opinions are my own. I really am forced to scoot it around my lawn. Forced. By a two year old.

We have one of these and it’s well loved by the Wee Man. The only thing I would say is check every few weeks that the wheels nuts are tight although I suppose it’s the same for anything with that type of fitting. We had a bit of situation out in the park one day!

Cooter – love it. My littlest now calls his school bag his cool bag. Sometimes their words are so much better.
My son (who’s 2) forced our downstairs neighbour (who must be in her 60′s/70′s) to have a go on his ‘cooter the other day!
I wish I’d known abouth this scooter when I got him his though I’d have saved a tenner, I was proud not to have forked out the £50/£60 that the ones all the kids in the playground seem to have cost!
