How to choose a three-wheeled scooter for children

A scooter is one of the most favorite types of transport for children. It develops coordination and gives the first delight of speed. Three-wheeled models are especially popular - stable, safe and easy to learn. How to choose the right option taking into account age, height and other nuances? Our advice to parents is in this review.

Why you should start with buying a three-wheeled scooter

A three-wheeled scooter for children is a great way to introduce your child to speed for the first time. Thanks to two front or rear wheels, such a scooter is much more stable than a classic two-wheeled model. This is especially important for children from 2 to 5 years old, who are just learning to control their body and coordinate their movements.

What else is good about a three-wheeled scooter? It does not fall when stopped, so it is easier for the child to maintain balance. The control process can be turned into a fascinating game if you choose a scooter with glowing wheels.

How to choose a three-wheeled scooter for a child

Age and height

For children from 1.5 to 3 years old, a children's scooter with a seat is suitable. In fact, this is a transformable model that can be used first as a balance bike, and then as a full-fledged three-wheeled scooter for a child from 2 years old. Older children will benefit from models with a higher platform and scooters with height-adjustable handlebar.

Tip! When choosing a scooter for a child, focus on their height - the steering wheel should be located approximately at chest level.

Design and materials

Good children's three-wheeled scooters are made of durable plastic or aluminum, and are also equipped with rubberized wheels that provide a comfortable ride. Polyurethane wheels have improved grip and durability, so they are best suited for older children who like to ride a lot.

Ease of use

The ideal option is a lightweight children's scooter with a folding frame, which is easy to transport both in a private car and on public transport. The lighter the model, the easier it will be for the child to control his three-wheeled friend.

What types of three-wheeled scooters are there for children

Scooters with a seat

For a beginner rider, you can buy a three-wheeled scooter with a seat. This model is suitable for children from 1.5 to 3 years old, who are still unsteady on their feet.

Classic models with tilt control

Here, instead of a classic handlebar, there is a tilt steering mechanism. With its help, maneuvers are performed not by turning the bar, but by tilting. For kids, this is simpler and more understandable. Such a scooter can be bought for a child from 2 years old.

Scooters with a hand brake

For an older child (from 4-5 years old), consider models with a hand brake so that the young rider begins to prepare for mastering a bicycle. The best three-wheeled scooters have a reinforced platform, height-adjustable handles and comfortable rubberized wheels.

Scooters with backlighting

Children love scooters with LED lights and bright colors. In our online store, you will find a large selection of models with luminous wheels. They not only look beautiful, but also increase the safety of the child in the dark.

 

When choosing a children's three-wheeled scooter, consider the age, temperament and preferences of your child. And to be sure of the reliability of the design, give preference to models of well-known brands that do not skimp on materials and technology. These are the scooters you will find in our online store. Happy shopping!
