Radio Flyer Scooter

Radio Flyer Scooter

I'm quickly learning that for some people (many little new people, in particular) memories are being made of wood, chrome, and a little bit of rubber combined into something called a Radio FlyerScooter.

More rules to follow, more responsibilities, more threats at hand, more junk mail (both the digital and forest-clearing variety), etc., etc., all filling our minds over capacity at the expense of happy memories from more carefree times.

In my case that toy wasn't really a toy at all, but the very utilitarian, kid-friendly does-it-all American icon known as the Radio Flyer. It was the only "toy" a kid in my generation needed. In my 4-year-old son's case, however, the toy that will define his developing years will unquestionably be his recently acquired Radio Flyer Scooter.

Just exactly what makes a little boy or girl so attached to one particular toy is anyone's guess, but there can be little doubt it has a lot to do with the child's developing character.

The Radio Flyer Scooter makes a 4-year-old feel they've taken a step forward in childhood much the same way a high-schooler's first car helps them take a step toward adulthood.

It seems with the Radio FlyerScooter, however, parents are more often responsible for hunting them down of their own volition. "It's a scooter, son!" As the back of the box promised, the Radio Flyer Scooter was easy to assemble, despite the fact that my now fully-energized 4-year-old was impatient enough for his inaugural scoot to see a need for supervising Daddy's assembly work. Fifteen minutes later a replica of the scooter under the happy boy on the box stood under my own son's anxious feet, and chaos was launched off our front doorstep. We are fortunate to still live in a neighborhood that features sidewalks where children like my son live high adventures under the watchful eye of parents and friendly neighbors.

The Radio Flyer Scooter has been a most appropriate addition onto that scene, and my boy now looks every bit as content with his best toy as I undoubtedly did all those years ago with mine... even if it does only have half the wheels.

My name is Rob Fillmore and grew up riding my Radio Flyer Wagon. Now I run a daycare and have become fascinated with how the kids much time the kids play on the radio flyer scooter.
