Scootering for Kids
Scooter Riding for Kids – Enjoyment and Improvement of Motor Skills
Kick scootering presents a wonderful chance for kids to have fun while simultaneously serving as a brilliant way for children and toddlers to enhance their physical coordination and balance. Trick scootering is a more advanced discipline that might intrigue children who are already familiar with scooters.
In our range of scooters for kids, you can discover trampoline scooters for practising tricks, adjustable kids scooters, and 3-wheeled scooters for the youngest children.
When is it Appropriate for My Child to Begin Riding Scooters?
There is no definitive age restriction for scootering. Generally, once children can walk steadily, they are ready to try scootering. It's essential, however, to commence with a kick scooter that aligns with your child's age category.
For toddlers, we suggest 3-wheeled scooters until they have grasped the basic skills. Transitioning to two-wheeled setups becomes much easier after mastering the 3-wheeled scooter. This usually occurs around the age of 5–6 years. Many children's kick scooters offer height adjustments, and given how rapidly children grow, being able to modify the bar's height is crucial.
Is Scootering Beneficial Exercise for Kids?
Children thoroughly enjoy riding scooters and benefit from excellent physical exercise. Scootering aids the development of balance and coordination skills while promoting muscle growth. This is due to the engagement of the lower body muscles as a child kicks to accelerate while maintaining balance on one leg.
Kick scootering ensures your child gets some fresh outdoor air. Additionally, it may enhance your children's social life as they connect with other children scootering around the neighbourhood and skateparks. If your child uses the scooter for transportation, folding scooters are highly recommended as they are light and convenient to carry. This feature makes them ideal for older children who wish to take their scooters everywhere they go. We also encourage all of you to acquire a scooter for adults, enabling you to join your child in having fun and staying active!
While scootering is advantageous for children, there remains a possibility of falling. Thus, always remember to equip your child with appropriate protective gear. Visit our Kids Protection Category to find all the necessary safety products to commence scootering.
