My grandson is 6 years old and he likes the Razor Flashrider. I am not familiar with the Huffy 20 inch Green Machine

My son has the Green Machine. He loves it but the wheels wore through after only a month of riding. This looks like it will last longer and be easier to assemble.

I don't know anything about the Huffy, but even my 7-1/2 year old daughter enjoys this one. She fits really well on it and is tall for her age.

Defiantly the Razor 360°...I bought this for my 8 year old for Christmas and it is Awesome!!! We love it :-)

I didn't look into any other trikes for my grandsons. My husband and I saw the Razor Flash Rider and immediately thought they would love it. Again, my twin grandsons are only 4/12 years old, but we do have older children that live in our neighborhood that have the Razor Flash Rider, and we see them riding all the time. Our grandsons like the "360" feature, and really like the "spark bar". In my opinion, I think the older children like it... our grandsons do, but I think the real fun will come as they grow into it a little more.

You probably have made a decision already but just in case, I have bought both for my kids.. Bought the Huffy 20inch for my 9yr old son and bought the Riprider for my 8yr old daughter. They switch rides both are fun but the Huffy can grow with you even adults can use it. (150lbs max I think)

How about a Vespa? Believe it or not this was fun for about 15 minutes. I had fun but I wouldn't trade my 1966 Schwinn away for it. I really believe it's more for a ten year old than an Adult. But it isn't a huge investment, it folds up and isn't bad to carry. An when you get done it fits inside the closet.

This one may be a little much for a 4 year old. I would go with a syma s107. It's sold on amazon. It's a lot easier to control.

I would not recommend buying a GreenWorks. I had mine for a few weeks and the motor burned up in it.

I bought it for a two year old, but my 8 year old granddaughter enjoyed playing with it as well. If I was going to buy for the 8 year old, I would get one that is taller because she is quite tall for her age.

I have no problems with it and my 10 year old seems able to push it just fine. There are lighter weight vacuums, but the reviews I read on them were not very favorable.

We have the 10 inch one and it is great for kids and adults. I think the bigger one would be harder for little.

I recommend the a smaller sized RipStik for an 8 year old beginner. I would go with the mini

It is a little complicated to use if it's for trimming paper, a Fiskar paper trimmer would be my recommendation for an 8 year old. If using simply as a light table, though, it should be fine. :-)

I think an 8-year-old might be too old/big for this kitchen. I bought it for my then-3-year-old, for whom it is perfect. I teach 2nd grade, so am fairly familiar with what 8-year-olds like, and my advice would be to pursue a larger model...

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 have both. I wouldn't recommend either one for kids under 3. I guess it is durable enough, scooter is way more complicated to open and close and holds way less stuff. Kids fall off it, especially if on an actual trip. The trunki is more practical.

I'd return it for a new one. My 8 year old grandson has been using his since December, with no problems at all.

I would try to find another karaoke machine that the 8 yr. old will not outgrow as quickly. There are probably others that will do more and can still be operated by an 8 year old. We found a couple in Toys R Us but didn't buy them because they looked a little too old. For our three year old, we needed to keep it simple and not worry about too many buttons and knobs. As you probably read, we were first happy with it but then had headache after headache trying to get the manufacturer to replace a defective microphone. Hope this helps,Kevin

I'd say awesome for a youth for the money. My son is 7 turning 8 this year. I don't know of a better one for the money, if you find it, let me know.

I think this would be a perfect machine. I got it because it has the stronger motor and should last longer. My old one was pretty but through constant use it only lasted about a year and my neighbor is having the same problem. That's why this time I went with the Pro.

We've never had a green machine, but we got the rip rider last week and my kids love it. It is super lightweight, which would make moving it to the sidewalk easy in your case. It certainly will need to be carried or pushed because it would not ride well on gravel or grass. I would suggest checking out the weight of the green machine and comparing the two in making a decision.
