chester5 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Convince me, please, that a hoverboard is a good gift for a 13 year old girl. Are they safe? What is a good price/deal (online)? Thank you!!!Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnambic Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 How well are you insured? Home/Renters as well as Health? Ravenseye chimed in with some good professional experience here:http://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/267813-anyone-buying-a-hoover-board-this-year/?do=findComment&comment=1334064 In the end, it depends. How coordinated is your 13 yr old? Some will take to it like a fish to water. Others will fall on their face over and over.Regardless, make sure to have the video camera ready as those videos are a hit on YouTube and could help offset possible medical expenses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bopeep Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Convince me, please, that a hoverboard is a good gift for a 13 year old girl. Are they safe? What is a good price/deal (online)? Thank you!!!KrisI'm not going to try to convince you of any such thing. LOL. I have said before I am SO glad my kids were grown before these became a thing. Having said that, my youngest son was always into skateboards, rip sticks, that kind of thing. If he had wanted one of these, and I'd had the means, I probably would have gotten it for him. No, they aren't "safe". But that's a relative term. At least they aren't riding these things down handrails or trying to jump concrete borders (yet!). Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

vern28 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I heard that swagtron is pretty good. There is a certain certification for the battery to look for, it's ul2272 I believe. Swagtron will be $199 at toys r us. Razor has made one also... I believe somewhere will have it for $299. Hope this helps alittle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
