A scooter intended for a child should be comfortable and safe.
When choosing a vehicle intended for a child, the first thing to consider is the age of its “user”.
From 1 year to 2 years
Scooters for children of this age differ in the number of wheels: as a rule, they have four wheels, two in the front and two in the back. This ensures stability and helps to learn to keep balance faster. Models with a seat and a handle for parents are also available - the child can ride it like a regular scooter, and if he gets tired, parents can guide him with the handle.
From 2 to 4 years
At this age, the baby begins to keep balance well. This means that he does not need additional support - the parent's handle is no longer needed. Choose a scooter with three wheels for your baby: it is safer and more stable than a two-wheeled one.
For children 4-7 years old
Now it's time to buy a two-wheeled model that will suit a child aged 5-6 years and older. When riding such a scooter, the child needs to maintain balance, and with the help of a rotating steering wheel, the vehicle becomes more maneuverable. When riding a two-wheeled scooter, children develop such skills as coordination of movements, concentration, and control skills.
From 7 to 10 years
Children aged seven and up can easily operate both regular scooters and models designed for performing tricks. When choosing a scooter for a child of this age, consider the budget and riding style. If you like to ride together in the park, choose a city scooter. If your child prefers a skate park, choose a trick scooter.
