Scootering for Kids

Scooter Riding for Kids – Enjoyment and Enhanced Motor Skills

Kick scootering provides a fantastic chance for kids to have fun, while also serving as an ideal method for kids and toddlers to enhance their physical coordination and balance. Trick scootering is a more advanced activity that could appeal to kids who are already proficient with scooters.

Within our range of scooters for kids, you will discover trampoline scooters for trick practice, adjustable kids scooters, and 3-wheeled scooters for the youngest enthusiasts.

When Can My Child Begin Riding Scooters?

There is generally no fixed age restriction for scootering. Broadly speaking, children can begin scootering once they have achieved steady walking ability. However, it is essential to start with a kick scooter that suits your child's age bracket.

For toddlers, we suggest using 3-wheeled scooters until they grasp the basic manoeuvres. Once they master the 3-wheeled scooter, transitioning to two-wheeled models becomes significantly easier. This typically occurs around the ages of 5–6 years. Many kick scooters for kids are height-adjustable, and given the speed at which children grow, having the ability to adjust the height of the bar is crucial.

Is Scootering Beneficial Exercise for Kids?

Kids not only have a blast riding scooters, but also engage in effective exercise. Scootering aids in developing balance and coordination skills while enhancing muscle development. This happens because a child uses their lower body muscles to kick and gain speed while balancing on one leg.

Kick scootering allows your child to enjoy fresh outdoor air. Additionally, it can improve your kids' social lives as they mingle with other scootering youngsters in the neighbourhood and skateparks. If your child uses the scooter as a mode of transport, folding scooters are an excellent choice due to their lightweight and easy-to-carry nature. This feature makes them ideal for older children who wish to take their ride everywhere. Naturally, we encourage you all to consider getting a scooter for adults to join your child in having fun and keeping fit!

Even though scootering offers great benefits for children, the risk of falling exists. Therefore, ensure your child is equipped with proper protective gear. Visit our Kids Protection Category to find all the necessary safety products for scootering.
