Reviews of VTech - 3-in-1 Learning Zebra Scooter

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Grandma and Grandpa delivered the Zebra Scooter to our 28-month-old grandson this past weekend. I (Grandpa) could hardly put it together since he was so excited about the scooter. Would the excitement last? After screwing on the wheel and securing the seat, he was off! He rode it around the house and outside. We took it to the park and he rode down the hill. He kept saying 'I love this'. And he certainly proved that. The scooter is a 'cute' design.... I think it looks more like a cow. It is well-made, and did not scratch or mar the wood floors. Technologically, it was more advanced than I thought it would be. There are 3 different attachments that plug in to the top of the zebra head: a compass, flashlight, and walkie-talkie. These attachments will 'program' the toy to give different responses when the lighted buttons are pushed. Yes, this toy does speak and play music. The parents were going to put some tape over the speaker to mute it, but I didn't find the sounds intrusive, even while we watched football on TV. The speaker has a loud and soft setting, and the music and voices are pleasant enough. I didn't get a chance to listen to all the messages, because our grandson 'claimed' this toy and was energized by it. The 3 different modes of the scooter are really inventive. The basic, seat-down position is his favorite, as he can scoot around all day on it that way. The seat can be raised a bit for another position, which is used to push the scooter. He was also able to sit on it in this mode, sort of like an Easy Rider position. The third position is the standup scooter. He is a bit young for this, but took the challenge, and managed to scoot around with some help. His Mom and Dad said the toy was a hit, and we got our share of 'I love you's' from our grandson.

Congrats to V Tech for making a neat toy for young kids. This is a perfect gift that should get a lot of use.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I got this scooter for my two nephews. One is almost two, the other is a newborn. The great thing about the scooter is it converts from a walk-behind toy for toddlers learning to walk, to a sit on scooter to a standing scooter. The conversion is pretty easy and requires no tools.

I was very impressed with the build quality of the scooter. Some assembly is required (isn't it always). But, it's not bad. The sounds the scooter makes might get annoying to parents after a while. But, there is a volume control on it (two position switch). As for learning, my first thought was "Kids aren't going to learn an awful lot from this". The manual didn't really detail how to use all the functions. But, then I realized an 18 month old ain't gonna be reading the manual anyway. There are buttons to push and things light up and just maybe they'll learn something from the animals and songs on the scooter. But, the main thing they'll learn is cause and effect, at that age.

I think my nephews will love this toy and it'll be something they can use for quite a while.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Normally I associate V-Tech with learning toys. I think they are now branching into other areas. This is a well built scooter. Has more than the basics, lights, music etc. Not sure if the kids actually push all the knobs and whistles while actually driving it as a scooter. It is sturdy, looks nice and bright. Can be used in multiple modes, a push walker, scooter etc. Looks cute too. Do you need a $50 scooter that can blink and whistle... it is upto you. For the money it does a admirable job.

Honest reviews on VTech - 3-in-1 Learning Zebra Scooter

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I had a zebra ride-on toy as a child...it was made of wood and had a yarn mane, and scooted me all over the basement floor. This new "learning" scooter seems a world apart from my beloved zebra, but that's okay! (I'm pretty used to the idea that most of today's toys are far more "high tech" that we could have ever imagined growing up!)

The VTech Zebra Scooter is very sturdy, likely to stand up to substantial abuse. He is also absolutely adorable, and I like the bright colors. And, of course, I always appreciate a volume control and the fact that this unit can be turned "off", though it is pretty easy for a child to manipulate the lever to change play modes.

The positioning of the handle for the "push walker" (the 18+ month setting) is a little bit awkward, with the handle not extending out as far as the wheels (basic geometry, I understand, but it leads to some tripping in an effort to hold the handle and walk with the zebra). The second level (sitting on the zebra) seemed to work better for us. The interchangeable parts atop the zebra's head (flashlight, compass, and walkie-talkie) are a nice idea, but may end up being tough to keep track of! We also loved the small bin on the front of the zebra, perfect for put it / take out play (mostly I put stuff in, they take it out!).

We have not used the Zebra in his "scooter" mode (ages 36+ months), but it seems relatively stable, and would be a good first scooter for little ones wanting to keep up with a bigger sibling on a real scooter.

All in all a fun toy, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy as a gift for a toddler.

A pretty good product overall the kiddo enjoys it. Seems pretty durable, sounds work well, and I like that it has 3 different settings. My main complaint is that the kiddo seems to get his toes caught in/under the wheels when he scoots himself on it. The other thing that makes it less than perfect is that the front wheels don't turn they are fixed, so the toy goes in a straight line but is difficult to turn unless you kinda yank it one way or the other, sliding the wheels across the floor not ideal, but it works, I guess.
