When I was at the Time to Play Toy Showcase back in April (wow, where has the time gone!), one of the coolest items I saw is the Whiplash Scooter from Street Surfing. Unlike traditional scooters, where you have to push with one foot, the Whiplash is self-propelled. Users can move the scooter while keeping both feet on the board, and after getting used to the movement, you can do some pretty fun moves!
While the Whiplash is for ages five and up, I’d recommend that you make sure your kids know how a traditional scooter works before taking on the Whiplash. My kids didn’t, and it has taken more time to just get them up to speed.
Street Surfing also has a fabulous PE program – they are giving away 1,800 wave boards to schools all over the country to help encourage physical fitness. Interested schools can find the application here.

Disclosure: we received a Whiplash at no cost for review.
