Scootering for Kids

Scooter Riding for Children – Enjoyment and Motor Skill Enhancement

Kick scootering provides a fantastic chance for children to enjoy themselves while also serving as a superb method for young ones and toddlers to enhance their physical coordination and balance. Trick scootering represents a more advanced skill set that could appeal to children who have prior scooter experience.

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

What Is the Suitable Age for Children to Start Using Scooters?

There isn’t a strict age restriction when it comes to scootering. Broadly speaking, once a child has developed confident walking abilities, they are ready to begin scootering. However, starting with a kick scooter that is appropriate for your child's age group is essential.

For toddlers, we suggest 3-wheeled scooters until they have become familiar with the basic techniques. Transitioning to two-wheeled variations is considerably more straightforward once they have mastered the 3-wheeled scooter, typically around 5–6 years old. Many children's kick scooters have adjustable heights, and given how rapidly kids grow, having a height-adjustable bar is crucial.

Is Scootering Beneficial Exercise for Children?

Children experience immense enjoyment when riding scooters, and they also engage in significant physical activity. Scootering aids in developing balance and coordination skills and encourages muscle growth, as it requires the use of lower body muscles during kicking to accelerate while balancing with one leg.

Kick scootering ensures your child enjoys fresh outdoor air. Additionally, it can enhance your children's social interactions as they meet and engage with other scootering peers in the neighbourhood and at skateparks. For children who use the scooter as a form of transportation, folding scooters prove to be an excellent choice, given they are lightweight and straightforward to carry. This feature makes them ideal for older kids keen on taking their rides wherever they venture. Naturally, we invite you all to acquire a scooter for adults, enabling you to participate in the fun and maintain an active lifestyle alongside your child!

While scootering is advantageous for children, there is always the risk of falling. Thus, it’s vital to protect your child with appropriate protective gear. Visit our Kids Protection Category to find all the necessary safety products for beginning scootering.
