The best scooter for a 4 year old will depend on their height, build and confidence as to which scooter will be best. But whichever one you get I can definitely recommend a scooter as a great toy for a 4 year old if they haven't already got one.

​Both my boys use their scooters practically everyday.

The Razor scooter is aimed at 5 years plus but there are lots of reviews of younger kids using it.

It could be a good choice for a 4 year old who is already confident at using a 3 wheel scooter and is ready to make the move to a 2 wheels scooter. ​

Stomp rockets are so much fun.

Stomp on the pump at the bottom of the rocket and see how high it will shoot up in the air.

Lightening McQueen from the movie cars is a huge favorite with this age group (my son loves him) so consider opting for a Lightening Mcqueen racetrack or Disney Cars 2 toys.

If they love dressing up and they love superheros you just cannot go wrong with this set.
