About this product
Two years old, and already outgrowing the last ride-on. The Scuttlebug XL adjusts to three heights, so it grows with your child from toddler to preschooler. It folds in three steps when you need to put it away, and the chunky front wheel handles grass, gravel and garden paths. Suitable for ages 2 to 4 with adult supervision. Protective equipment should be worn, not for use in traffic.
The wide wheels add stability, the soft grip handlebars make steering simple. Fold it, carry it, pull it along when the ride's done. Minimal assembly required, slot the handlebars in and you're ready. Built for outdoor use around the garden and pavement. Designed for domestic use under adult supervision.

Customers Say
The XL Scuttlebug is praised for its adjustable height, sturdiness, and foldability, making it great for toddlers growing out of the original model. However, some find the hard plastic wheels noisy and less stable.

Not as good as a scuttlebug
We bought this XL version because our little one has just outgrown the standard Scuttlebug, and we assumed it would be the perfect next step since it has a very similar design and riding position, just slightly higher off the ground. Unfortunately, we've been quite disappointed. The biggest issue is that the XL comes with hard plastic wheels instead of the rubberised wheels on the original model. As a result, it's much noisier, bumpier to ride, and lacks the grip that made the standard Scuttlebug so good. The wheels skid easily, especially on smooth surfaces, and the whole thing feels like it's drifting rather than rolling predictably. Compared to the original Scuttlebug, which felt stable, smooth, and confidence-inspiring, the XL doesn't feel nearly as safe. It's a shame because the overall design is great, but the change in wheel material really affects the ride quality. If your child loved the original model, be aware that the riding experience on the XL is quite different.

Amazing step up from scuttle bug to XL
Bought this for my little boy after he loved his scuttle but but quickly outgrew. I love this has three different height settings and it is perfect to grow with him. Easy to set up, great to fold away and perfect for everyday use.

Scuttle bug XL
Bought for 2 yr old grandson as he has got one in his house albeit it’s quite well used after older sister and no longer folds down but he loves the scuttle bug XL. It’s also easier to get him back the car after school no tantrums or running off

Nippy lightweight bike.
This has proved to be a super indoor bike, enabling our almost 3 year old grandson to zoom around our open plan living area!

Lovely!
Our child is tall for his age so we got him this XL version which is just about suitable for him on the max adjustment. He absolutely loves it!
