Best Gifts for a 5-Year-Old
At age 5, children are full of excitement, curiosity, and creativity. They’re ready to show off their independence and dive into new experiences as their confidence continues to grow!
Whether they’re ready to zip around the sidewalk or work on some balancing confidence, Micro has the perfect ride for every 5-year-old to chase their thrills.
Follow along this guide as we explore Micro’s top gifts for 5-year-old adventurers!
One of Micro’s all-around favorite rides is the classic Micro Maxi Scooter—and we’re not the only one who thinks so!
The Maxi Scooter has been named “Best Scooter” by USA Today, Parenting.com, and other renowned sources. The New York Times Wirecutter also named the Micro Maxi Scooter the “Best Kids Scooter” since 2018, thanks to its smooth and quiet ride.
Designed for ages 5 to 12, the classic Maxi Scooter features a three-wheel, kickboard-style ride where riders steer by leaning left and right. This design is great for first-time riders or those looking to build some more scooting confidence.
With the Maxi’s adjustable T-bar and shock-absorbing deck, your young rider can experience a smooth scoot for many years to come. For added flair, consider the LED style of the Maxi, which features vibrant, motion-activated light-up wheels! Or, if you’re looking for something a bit more portable, check out the Foldable LED version!
Still on the fence? Check out what this Micro shopper had to say about the Micro Maxi Scooter:
My 5-year-old granddaughter loves her kickboard so much we have a hard time getting her off of it. Highly recommend! -Donna R.
Looking for a unique scooter style? Look no further than the Micro Maxi Pro LED Scooter, designed for ages 5 to 12.
The Maxi Pro LED features wider wheels and chopper-style handlebar—creating a unique look and an ultra-smooth glide. This unique style allows confident children to curve and carve deeper as they turn and glide.
The Maxi Pro’s unique features also make the scooter more stable for young riders. While all three-wheeled scooters are more stable than two-wheeled ones, the Maxi Pro takes the cake for overall sturdiness. With its wider wheels and handlebars, the Maxi Pro is the perfect ride for your 5-year-old to practice their balance and coordination.
When your 5-year-old is feeling confident and ready to take their scootin’ up a notch, the Maxi Pro LED Scooter is just the ride for them!
Check out what this Maxi Pro LED fan had to say about their new ride:
Love it! My daughter LOVES her scooter and wants to ride it all the time! Very happy with scooter and quality. -Carrie H.
Looking for a scooter to feel good about? Check out Micro’s “green” scooter—the Micro Maxi ECO—made from recycled fishing gear and ocean plastics.
This scooter, designed for ages 5 to 12, is created from obsolete fishing gear, ropes, and trawls that would’ve normally been dropped into the sea. Micro has taken these products and repurposed them into the ECO Scooter’s deck.

Riders can still expect the same quality and smooth-glide riding performance in the Maxi ECO that Micro Kickboard is renowned for. The lean-to-steer, three-wheel design is excellent for young riders still mastering their balance, while the adjustable T-bar guarantees their ride for years to come!
Don’t just take our word for it—check out what this happy grandparent thought about the Maxi ECO Scooter:
We are so happy with this kickboard scooter. Our grandson has been on it non-stop! This gift was definitely a huge hit. The quality of the wheels and board are great! -Judith R.
Already have the perfect Micro Scooter for your 5-year-old? They still need one more thing before they start their scooting adventures—a Micro Helmet!
Every rider—no matter the age or expertise level—is encouraged to wear a helmet while scooting. Accidents and falls can be unexpected, so it is always a good idea to be prepared and protected.
Micro offers a variety of fun and stylish designs to choose from, including Unicorn, Rocket, Doodle Dot, and 3D Scootersaurus.
For sizing advice, refer to this guide before choosing your helmet size.
Still debating the Micro Helmet? Take a look at what this fan had to say about it:
Quality and cool- My daughter loves her new Micro Helmet! We can actually get her to wear a helmet now cause she knows it looks cool :). It’s obviously well made and we’ll be coming back for more as the kids grow. -Nicholas A.
Deck out your 5-year-old’s ride with exciting scooter accessories!
Add some Scooter Streamers onto their handlebars for wind-fluttering fun, or attach a Scooter Bell so you can hear them coming!
Let them bring a friend along every ride with a Micro ScootaHeadz! Attach your choice of animal onto the T-bar of your child’s scooter to make their adventures even more exciting! (Note: ScootaHeadz are not compatible with the Maxi Pro LED due to its unique handlebar style.)
Unsure if the scooter accessories are the right gift for your 5-year-old? Check out what this ScootaHeadz fan had to say:
Love them! So much fun, kids love them. Favorite is shark! And we also have blue Dino. Other kids are always interested in them too. Durable. -Elmira M.
