TnP Ambassadors - our tiny testers try out MV Sports’ Nerf Inline Scooter with Mini Blaster

AMBASSADORS SPECIALScoot and shoot This month our tiny testers take to two wheels with MV Sports’ Nerf Inline Scooter with Mini Blaster

Dad Alex says: “When Oscar first saw the scooter in the box he said he couldn’t wait to go for a scoot on it. After all, it combines two of the most attractive things for a seven-year-old: a scooter and a Nerf gun. It’s a win-win!

“I was slightly apprehensive as sometimes these things are not easy to put together, but this was really simple. There were only two parts to slide together and then secure with two bolts that were tightened with the supplied Allen key. Attach the bullet holder using Velcro, and it’s good to go. "Oscar’s sister Blossom (aged four) joined in and soon they were playing with the Nerf gun, using their imagination to make up scenarios and to target-shoot, and using the scooter to ‘escape the dungeons’. The design really encourages outside play - Oscar was very keen to get out and have a scoot around on it.

“We like the design. It’s very bold and attractive to a seven-yearold, and because it was not complicated to put together, it meant instant play. The foot platform felt very secure due to the material used, which is designed to prevent any slipping accidents at speed.

“The Nerf gun is light and simple to use - no batteries are needed so again, you get instant play. And, as it’s small, it meant that even when Oscar had finished with the scooter, he could carry on playing with the Nerf gun. The bullet holder is a great idea too, as usually we lose Nerf bullets within a very short time! Of course, the scooter can also be used individually.’’

Oscar says: The colours are so cool and the kickstand is great for when I’m using the Nerf gun

Aoife says: This is so much fun: the Nerf gun is great and I like that it has a stand - my other scooter doesn’t have that

Nine-year-old Aoife, seven-year-old Thomas and five-year-old Isla all took turns to test out the scooter. Thomas says: I like that I can ride and shoot at the same time Mum Catherine says: “This is innovative. Thomas was very amused by the Nerf gun in the handle, which he enjoyed aiming at his sisters! They soon wanted to be part of the fun too, so it was a good toy for our day out in the park. I prefer anything that gets them out and about and playing together, so this is ideal. “Aoife likes the fact that it has a stand, as her current scooter doesn’t. Thomas definitely enjoys the Nerf gun and is looking forward to playing with his friends... he likes that he can ride and shoot at the same time. “Initially I thought this would be a great toy for Thomas but it turned out that both my daughters were just as excited to play, so it’s proved to be a good gender-neutral toy. They have already asked to go out with it to the park again. This is perfect timing as the weather is getting better, so it will encourage them to get out and about more. In fact Aoife says she can’t wait to play with it again and again!’’
