Debating on which Flicker to buy my soon to be 6 year old boy who is 43 pounds.Is the F1 the best option for him?He rode on one before &amp; was excellent

I think it would be perfect for him. I bought it for my daughter and she weighs 75 pounds and she still rides it. She has gotten taller over the summer (4'10") and she wishes the handlebar was a little higher now.

I agonized over choosing a bike trailer and had the same questions you are having. I love the Allen!! I have the double and use it with a 6 year and a 3 year old. It actually has a seat so there is no bottom dragging at all. They do not fall into each other either. I sometimes pick my six year old and a neighbor kid, who is also 6 years old, up from school and ride a mile home on mixed terrain. The singing and laughter from behind me is pure joy to my heart! I highly recommend this trailer over any overpriced Burley!!

No I think the mx650 is just the right size. The mx500 is small and doesn't have enough power. We got the 650 for our son when he was 8 and it was perfect. Keep in mind it's not super fast but we did start him out on the grass before letting him take it on the street. Our son graduated to a pit bike at 11 and now has a yamaha at 14.

My son is 7 and rides it without issues. Your son will grow into it, and the larger tires handle bumps far better than the 4" razor wheels. Tire wise, it's much safer. Get tuff skin for the tires, which protects the tubes when off-roading.

If you have a child that is on the taller side, go with the Foonf. It will last a lot longer. You also can not beat it's forward facing safety with the rigid latch and REACT system. The crash test numbers are super low. But the Peg is much lighter and a very nice seat to rear face until 2 + years an average height child.

I was just wondering if you ever compared them after this post? We are considering both vehicles too for our 2 children, one who is big for his age as well. We plan to try and see them at the store together (if possible) but I found your post and wondered what your result was? Thanks

I agree with the others. My Nano is currently sitting with a broken tail. I have given up on it for a while. The WL Toys V911 would be my choice for next step. Very fun, very durable. I use my Double Horse 9116 Tx for mine. Plus you can get bind and fly replacements for 20 to 25 on Ebay.

Hi Beverly! I'm with Blackfire: we should have a mini model coming out this year that might work for you! If you're really interested in seeing a specific bike model, please write to their sales president Larry Hibbard: (larry.hibbard AT blackfire-usa.com). Blackfire is deeply interested in hearing from customers about their specific needs.Cheers,~Sean

I think I bought this for my daughter when she was 5, and once we figured out how to make it work, she was off and scootering. I went with the Y- Flicker because she was too scared to try the bike without training wheels and it seemed to be a good fit for that need. I think that it would work well for a 4 year old who wanted to use a scooter.

If you are new to 450 size and 3d flight, I think the RTF is good. I would recommend replacing the gyro. I replaced the stock unit with Spartan Quark and I love it.

The 44" rides really smooth and is easy to control/ steer. I bought it for my 13 year old for Christmas and he absolutely loves it.

I do not use the flicker mod. But I tried it last night and it flickers quite fast.

Vernon, my Grandson is 3 and, after pushing the bike around for a week, suddenly started riding it like a pro! A 4 year old should do just fine. If he is tall, take a look at the 16".

I would suggest the A5 lux. The rift seem like it would be better for a child that already have prior scooter riding skill, because the back wheel is a caster wheel the tail end will drift out and cause Ur child to fall more often.

I purchased the 158-198 lbs stilts; I am 165lbs. Though they have excellent spring, you have to put some force into them to get the desired propulsion (Your son will also have to get used to jumping and bringing the weight down on his heals instead of his toes). But once you get bouncing, you really get some air (mid air balance is sketchy at first). Just note, they are a bit heavy, so he shouldn't expect to be back flipping right away.Otherwise..great purchase, I was just using them this weekend.He's basically at the max capacity of the lighter model, but if he'll be gaining any weight, I woulnd't recommend the lighter version, since they could break.Hope this was helpfulHappy holidays!

Yes, my 4 year old loved it and she is a shorter 4 year old. We are now looking at the 16 inch. With the 16 inch she struggles a little to do a full pedal since her legs cant reach.
