5 Stars Fantastic!
the Kelty 3.0 is just fantastic! I purchased it for an upcoming vacation in the Adirondacks where my husband and I want to take our baby hiking with us. He is 8months old and sometimes we take him for walks in it, instead of using the stroller. It’s a new view for him, he’s high up like we are, and in this, he isn’t in the ’sitting’ position, so it’s a nice change for him in that way too. It’s totally cmfortable for him and for us too. My husband is 6.2′ and I’m 5′2, and it’s completely and easily adjustable.

5 Stars great for my 8 month old!
arrived 3 days Less then the estimated delivery date stated! My baby fits perfectly and loves riding with the sun/rain shade on! He is one to kick his socks off so an enclosed bottom collects anything he drops. great padding. feels weightless. a lot of adjustment straps will Ensure a good fit. i started with everything large/loose and figured out my fit perfectly one notch at a time. Since there are going to be 2 of us using the backpack, I took a whiteout marker and marked my preferred Holes to make the switching easier! wonderfully padded for baby and even has a drool guard!

4 Stars Great Unit, but takes some getting used to.
I love this pack, but the first two/three times I used this to carry my 20lbs son, it felt a bit wobbly. The pictures in the ownern’s manual are a bit 1-dimensional so it took some looking at the picture, then back at the pack, and so forth. All in all, it is a great pack and worth every penny we spent. I wouldn’t recommend carrying more than just your child, unless you are used to carrying heavy packs around.

3 Stars buyeconomical has horrible return policy
Please be sure to review the return policy for buy.economical if you are purchasing this product from them. I will never use Amazon again

4 Stars Great Product, Bad Service
So I love this backpack and would tell other parents to purchase it. However, I did have trouble with Amazon over my purchase. They sent me the pack “new” but it was missing the hood cover; I bought it on sale and they wanted me to return the item and purchase a new one at the additional cost or they wanted me to keep it and they would give me back 24.00 of my purchase. To make a long story short I had to contact Kelty and they finally helped me out with it by sending me a new cover free of charge. I recommend if you buy this item to purchase it from a company other than Amazon since they were not helpful to me.

3 Stars Bad Wheels?
It’s a nice scooter; it rides well and is very fast. Not quite a xootr, but great for the price. However, the wheels that come with this thing is already starting to crack and fall apart. The front and back wheel already have big chunks of the wheel that fell off. The wheel makes a funny sound now when I ride. There are other cracks and it looks like other half-inch pieces of polyurethane is about to fall off. If this happens to the wheels in one week, it might be cheaper to just go with the xootr as I will be paying a lot of money to replace the wheel. I am around 150 lbs so am well below the 175 lbs limit on this. Otherwise, it’s a good scooter; I just wish they had harder or more durable wheels (I ride in NYC).

4 Stars Heavier, more solid scooter for bigger people
I bought this model of Razor to keep up with my kids. They have the standard original “A” models, which are low to the ground and relatively light in overall weight. The cruiser is heavier (maybe by @30%) and higher off the ground than the original. The larger wheels give it a somewhat smoother ride (although this could be attributed to it’s spanking-new wheels). The deck is covered entirely with an anti-skid layer — which is nice. Unlike other reviewers, I have no problem with it’s “low” handlebars (and I’m 5′ 11″). Plus, the deck board is “warped” by design, I assume, so that when you step on it, it flexes to a nearly-flat surface. Otherwise the deck would sag if it started in a perfectly horizontal position. Oh, and my kids can handle this too, even my 48-pound seven year old. The only drawbacks I can see with the wooden deck are the eventual dings and chips along the edge from curbs and such and the possiblility of moisture weakening the plywood over time. Probably need to keep this one out of the rain.

5 Stars Great scooter for kids, too!
I bought this scooter for my son’s 5th birthday. It looked large in the box, and my husband immediately took it out and rode it around the house - WOW! It is smooth and fast and fun. I was worried that it might be too big for my 34 lb 5 year old, as it was his first 2 wheeled scooter, but he was up and going immediately! This is great at the park - he can coast along the sidewalk forever without even kicking. The large platform is easy for him to balance on and the large wheels easily go over large sidewalk cracks and he even rode on some of the packed down winter grass! The handle bar easily adjusts up and down so my son and husband could take turns. I believe this to be the BEST scooter out there for riding!

5 Stars Great scooter by Razon, great buy from Amazon
My son really is enjoying his Razor Wood Kick. It ha larger wheels than the traditional razor and wood board (platform) instead of metal for some added flexibility. The platform is a wider than a traditional razor and offers some flex for tricks and jumping. Shipping and costs were great and the items arrived within a week with the lowest cost shipping option.

Two Thumbs Up!

4 Stars Great scooter, just too short for adults over 5′9″
I got this scooter to save me a few mins walking to the bus station.

I read one reviewer on here saying that the handlebars are too low for anyone over 5′6″. I’m 5′11″ but decided to give it a try anyway.

I have to agree that the handlebars are too low for most adults. I would say 5′9″ is the limit. The Razor Pro scooter has handle bars that are 3″ higher, and I think that would be good for people up to 6′ tall.

As for the wood deck, that same reviewer said it came warped. The deck is bowed, but that is a part of the design. The deck will flex when you stand on it, so it was designed to bow upwards to compensate for the flex. The flex on the deck does make the ride smoother by helping to absorb some of the bumps. But I feel this flex also makes the ride feel less stable. Personally, I would prefer a solid metal deck.

Overall, the scooter is well made and I would highly recommend it to anyone under 5′9″

4 Stars Nice set of clubs
We liked the clubs but they were advertised in blue and said they came with a golf clubs. When they arrived they were orange and no balls. I called and got a credit for the error so we were happy. The golf bag is nice and has a nice stand and shoulders straps for carrying.

5 Stars WOW!
FAST SHIPPING! Came even sooner than expected! My dad bought these for our daughter- she’s going to love them!

5 Stars Nothing Bad
I need not go into detail as there are enough reviews that do. It was a fantastic set and I couldn’t be happier. Great Quality - Better then my set!!!

5 Stars Perfect choice
My son began golfing this summer. As a “little kid lefty” it was a challenge to find a course that rented clubs for him. So, off to Amazon I go. What do I find, but the PERFECT set of clubs for him. He was so excited. He absolutely LOVES them and they have been a great tool as far as learning a life long sport! Thank you very much!

3 Stars Shorter than expected
The clubs seem like a fairly good product. However; they are advertised to fit from 48″ to 58″ tall and from ages 8-12. I purchased for my son who was 56″ tall and 11 years old. If he were 3 or 4 inches shorter I think they would have been fine, but unfortunately they were just too short for him. I had to purchase another set.
