Only 3 of 7 kids' scooter listings publish a handlebar height, none a deck height. Sizes and adjustability, with the gaps stated.
Kids Scooter Size: Handlebar Heights, 7 Listings
A scooter has to fit twice: the child's feet have to reach the deck from the ground, and their hands have to reach the bar. Of the 7 kids' kick scooters here, 3 publish a handlebar height, 5 publish a wheel size, and none publish a deck height — the one measurement that decides whether a toddler can stand on it unaided.
The 3 listings that give a handlebar height
Handlebar heights span a narrow band, and all three sit near the same figure, which suggests the category has settled on one adult-relative bar height rather than sizing deliberately for a child's stature. Two of the three state that the bar adjusts; the third also lists adjustable handlebar height as a feature but does not give the measurement.
Handlebars that move
An adjustable bar is what lets one scooter cover a growth spurt, and it is the most commonly claimed feature in this set: 5 of 7 listings mention an adjustable handlebar somewhere in their feature text. Only 3 put a number on it. A claim without a measurement cannot be checked against a child's reach.
Three figures that would settle the question
These are the gaps, stated first because a buyer working from this catalogue cannot close them from the listings alone.
Deck height — published by 0 of 7. Without it there is no way to know whether a two-year-old can reach the footboard from the ground, which is the whole difficulty of learning to stand on a scooter.
Handlebar height — published by 3 of 7. The 4 listings without it include both three-wheel scooters aimed at toddlers and the priciest two-wheel model in the set.
Units — item weight arrives in kilograms for 3 listings and pounds for 3; wheel size in millimetres for 2 and inches for 3. Everything on this page is converted to inches and pounds, and the raw string for each listing is kept alongside it.
Sizing figures as published
Handlebar height and wheel size in inches; overall length as each listing states it. A blank means the listing does not carry that measurement.
