Definitely been worth it for us. We got the one that starts as a seat with a handle to push, then a seated scooter then becomes a normal scooter. My 3 year old has been using it properly on her own since she was about 2, whizzes alongside the pram now to the park. It takes a battering and it still looks great. Barely any scratches and the wheels are in great nick. You can buy replacement parts too if you need it.

Absolutely been worth it for us, my girl got it as a Christmas present and she goes mental on it nearly every day!! She’s got a matching helmet and as Sarah said it comes with a handle to push and a seat but we took that off as she’s gotten taller.

Defo worth it, so light weight, safe and my daughter loves it- she’s 3

Yes love it. Was a present for her 2nd bday, she’s 3.5 now and use it multiple times a week. The handlebars can still be extended a good bit more so heightwise it’s still got a lot of life left in it. We got the fold up one which is a good space saver and handy if you have a younger one/ still using a pram sometimes, as it’s easy to shove under the pram.

My son is 2 in October, do you think he will still be able to use the seat if I get the 3/4 in 1?

Avatar

I got the seat one thinking any babies afterwards can use it too. Also when I bought it it was only £15 more to have a seat xx

A 4yo kid died in my city a couple of months back on one of those. Stick to a bike

how?

Lost control of it, dad could not reach him on time as the scooter was very fast, and went against a wall. He was 4 days in hospital but they couldn't save him. Dad was with him all the time so kid was not unsupervised, just accidents with this demonic things happen as they are very dangerous

Avatar

that’s really sad but how is sticking to a bike any safer than a scooter? I had many a fast uncontrolled crashes and falls on my bike as a little kid.

I got hit by a car whilst I was on my bike when I was younger - it’s a truly devastating accident but it’s literally no different to a bike 🤷🏻‍♀️

I do apologise. I just re-read the post and realised I read it wrong. In my native language a mini scooter is what you would call a mini motorbike. It's electric and that's why it can go very fast and that's why for me it is the work of the devil for how dangerous it is in the hands of a toddler. I've looked up the one you intend and it's the wee platform with 3 wheels? If it's that then it's not what I meant and yeah, I never got it to my son as I got him a bike but I think it's as safe as anything on wheels can be in the hand of a kid. But yeah 😂 I probably need new specs 🙈

Avatar

lol no worries! That type of scooter would definitely not be safe for a toddler ☺️

Mine likes the lean to steer normal scooter he’s been using that since 18m. Now 5 and I have to upgrade soon because he’s outgrown the tallest level of that scooter he’s been using for 3.5yrs

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
