Kids Scooters

How do I choose a scooter for my child?

Scooters are a great way to keep energetic children active while they have fun outdoors. Scooters are durable and portable, making them an excellent choice for keeping kids on the go, whether at home in the garden or enjoying a day out. Scootering can help children develop essential skills such as balance, coordination and strength. So, choosing the right scooter is an important decision! When choosing a scooter for your child, the most important factors are considering your child’s height and skill level. Getting this right ensures a comfortable and safe ride.

At what age can kids ride a scooter?

Children aged two and up can safely ride scooters. Our extensive range has scooters suitable for all ages, from toddlers to teens. Scooters that allow handlebar height adjustment are excellent value for money for growing kids. Always ensure that your chosen scooter can adequately support your child's weight.

Should my child have a two or three-wheeled scooter

Young children should begin with a 3-wheel scooter. As they age, you can consider transitioning to a two-wheel scooter, which requires better balancing skills. Take a look at our Scooter Size Guide for more tips.

Three-Wheel Scooters

Tri scooters are perfect for toddlers and children under 5, providing extra stability as little ones develop their balancing and steering skills. These sturdy toddler scooters come in bright colours and feature favourite characters from shows like Bluey, Peppa Pig, and Gabby's Dollhouse, so that you can choose a scooter your little one will love to hop on and show off on outdoor family adventures.

Two-Wheel Scooters

As children develop better balance and coordination, they will be more prepared to handle the quicker speeds that two-wheel scooters can provide. With fun designs, compact foldability, and light-up options, two-wheel scooters push your child towards greater independence and dexterity. Balance scooters are perfect for children aged five to eight.

Stunt Scooters

Daring youngsters will love the thrill of learning tricks on a stunt scooter! Designed for children who have mastered the basics of scootering and are ready for more advanced riding, stunt scooters will delight older, thrill-seeking children. With high-performance brands like Xootz, you can rest assured that our stunt scooters are made with high-quality materials that can withstand jumps, bumps, and crashes. Stunt scooters are suited to more experienced riders aged eight and up.

Electric Scooters

A child's electric scooter opens the door to a world of adventures and exploration. Electric scooters for kids offer a safe and thrilling experience that can help develop children's love of outdoor play. Electric scooters blend fun and learning, instilling ideas of independence, confidence and responsible riding in children. Children must handle higher speeds and be responsible for safely riding the scooter. Electric scooters are suitable for children aged eight and up, including teens.

Are bigger wheels better on a kids' scooter?

When it comes to kids' scooters, the size of the wheels can make a significant difference to the scooting experience. Scooters with larger wheels offer a smoother ride, particularly on more challenging terrains. Bigger wheels can also help kids easily navigate uneven surfaces and enhance stability by providing extra traction, reducing the risk of falling.

Can micro scooters get wet?

Most micro scooters are made from durable materials. However, it is best to avoid consistent exposure to water, which could affect the quality and strength of components over time, particularly on electric scooters. It is generally safe for scooters to scoot through shallow puddles; however, riders should be mindful of wet surfaces, which could be slippery!

What safety features do kids' scooters have?

Kids' scooters are designed with safety features, such as non-slip footplates, brakes, and sturdy grips, to ensure a safe ride for your child. Adjustable handlebars will also ensure your child has control of their scooter and provide ergonomic support, both essential for growing kids.

Should a child wear a helmet on a scooter?

Yes, children should always wear helmets when embarking on scooter adventures. We also recommend knee and elbow pads to protect little ones should they have a tumble. Promoting these safety precautions will help instil a habit of safe riding in children and emphasise the importance of personal safety from a young age.
