Our review of the 22 in Mini Cruiser Skateboard for Kids and Beginners finds it to be a compact, well-built starter board for young riders and casual commuters. At roughly 22.5 in long and 6 in wide with a light 3.8 lb plastic deck, this cruiser is easy to carry and quick to learn on; the single biggest reason to buy is its dependable combination of CE certification and sturdy construction that gives parents confidence while kids or beginners develop balance and basic tricks.
