When Radio Flyer asked if we’d be interested in reviewing the new Style N’ Ride RFX Scooter I quietly replied “YES!” I kept the scooter a secret until it arrived via UPS, knowing my 4 year old son wouldn’t be able to wait any longer than it would take to assemble…
I was right. The minute we opened that plain brown box and he saw the bright red frame, wheels and handle bars, he was squealing! Assembly was super easy… just 4 bolts and nuts, but mommy’s fingers and the tiny included wrench couldn’t move fast enough. We quickly found the stickers and got to work putting his favorites on the snap-on rings so we could customize his ride. We chose to put his name on the red rings and then he picked random cool pictures for the rest.
Next, we took the scooter outside for a test drive. I let Gabe try it out on the driveway first. He was pretty nervous about falling, but his excitement (and mommy’s demonstration) helped him get over that real fast! Once he was a little more confident, we went for a walk down our street, me pushing baby brother in the stroller and stopping every few minutes to take pictures.
One thing I love about this scooter is the extendable handle! It has 3 heights. Gabe’s using the shortest setting for now, but when it’s raised even I can ride it. (and no, we don’t have pictures of that!) Daddy is jealous and says he’s going to buy one for himself so he can ride it around the office…
Tell me, have you ever seen a happier little boy?
All week long, this scooter has been a part of Gabe’s imaginative play. It’s been a fire truck, rescue vehicle, and even a horse. It’s currently in the house where he’s mastered the art of riding it on the carpet as well as the kitchen linoleum, and he’s always underfoot. He rides it out of his room at sunrise and it takes him to bed at night.
