Guide to choosing a scooter

Scooter Type: The first step is to consider what type of scooter is best for your child. For the youngest children, models with three wheels are suitable as they help improve stability and make learning to ride easier. For older children, there are different styles and sizes to choose from, depending on where your child will be riding most often - on sidewalks, in the skatepark or on bike paths.

Height of handlebars: Proper handlebar height is crucial for a comfortable ride and proper ergonomics. Handlebars that are too low can lead to awkward posture, while handlebars that are too high can be clumsy and uncomfortable. Ideally, handlebars should be adjusted so that they are level with the child's hips.

Brake type: Another important factor is the type of brake. Some scooters have a rear foot brake, while others have a handlebar brake. It depends on your child's personal preference and how they will ride the scooter. Some models have both braking options, which provides more flexibility.

Scooter weight capacity: Finally, it's important to consider the weight capacity of the scooter, which should match your child's weight. Remember that not only can the load capacity vary between different models, but you also need to take into account that different stress situations may occur during the ride.

Safety: Check that the scooter has sufficient reflective features or lights. Take a close look at the construction and materials the scooter is made of and make sure they are durable and safe. Some models may also have safety features, such as anti-lock brakes or handlebar guards, which can help to protect your child from possible injuries while riding.

Choosing the right scooter for your child can be a fun process, whichever model you decide on, it is important to pay attention to these criteria to ensure the safety and comfort of your little rider.
