Help and advice when choosing a scooter for your child

The last thing you want is for you child to be hurt when riding on his or her new scooter. So below we have put together some friendly tips and advice to help you make the right choice when choosing a scooter for your child.

Take into consideration how tall, small, light or heavy your child is. All scooters available from the retailers on this website have height and weight restrictions to prevent injury. We would advice if you are buying for a toddler to purchase the 3 wheeled scooter. As these are a great way to allow the child to get used to riding on one and to find their balance, before moving on to a two wheeled scooters.

All of the scooters on this website have brakes which are usually found at the rear of the scooter via a foot plate. Make sure after a few rides that the foot plate moves correctly and makes contact with the rear wheel to stop the scooter. Also check the wheels from time to time as the can become worn and lose. Spare parts are easily available and easy to replace.

Different types of scooter are available for different types of terrain and surfaces. Chunky tyres for grass or a lawn, inline wheels for pavements. So make sure sure you purchase the correct type of scooter for your local terrain.

We would also advise for your child to wear protective clothing when using his or her scooter. There are lots of different types of protective gear available for your child to wear while using his scooter. Choose from helmets, gloves, knee and elbow pads.
