The first scooter for a child - which one to choose?

Children's outdoor activities are very important not only for having fun, but also for the health or proper development of the Baby. No wonder, that the first choice (besides sandbox toys, of course) of many Parents is a bicycle. However, before the Toddler learns to ride this traditional bike with pedals, it is worth opting for a scooter. On a scooter, a child can start riding even faster than on a balance bike, what is more, a scooter is small and practical enough that a Toddler can successfully practice his riding skills not only outside, but also in the apartment.

When to buy a child his first scooter?

Is any child who has quite recently mastered the ability to walk independently able to learn to ride a scooter? Contrary to appearances, standing with one foot on the platform and pushing off the ground with the other is not as simple an activity as it might seem. Not surprisingly, most of the available models also, when it comes to MoMi scooters are aimed at children who are over 2 years old. Of course, there are also three-wheeled scooters, with which you can start the adventure much sooner. Such models will be ideal for a one-year-old child or slightly older.

Scooters for young children - what to pay attention to when buying?

There is no doubt that a scooter is not only a fascinating way for your child to spend his free time, but also benefits in his development. However, in order for a scooter for a young child to bring the benefits themselves, it is worth paying attention to some important details before buying. On what exactly?

Wheels - two wheels on the front or two wheels on the back?

As the first scooter for a child, it is worth choosing a three-wheeled model. Two wheels in the front can have quite a large spacing, making the scooter for a Child more stable, and a single wheel in the back does not hinder pushing off with the leg. However, if you opt for a scooter with two wheels at the back, be sure to choose a model in which the front wheel (single) is much larger than those mounted at the back. A large front wheel will allow the toddler to maintain sufficient stability, while small rear wheels will not be an obstacle to push off the ground.  

Some of the models available at MoMi are equipped with two wheels at the front, while others have two wheels at the back.

Adjustable handlebars

Adjustable handlebars are a must-have for children's scooters.

It definitely makes it easier to use, especially for toddlers. The adjustability makes the scooter "grow" with your kid.

For the youngest users, the handle on the scooter should be set relatively low to ensure maximum safety for the Child in case of a fall.

Type and height of the deck

The deck of a scooter is one of the elements you should pay special attention to when choosing a scooter. Therefore, it is worth checking whether it is non-slip. It should also be made of sturdy, damage-resistant but lightweight material. For Toddlers, scooters with a deck made of plastic are recommended, while for 3-4 year olds and Older Children you can successfully choose a scooter with an aluminum deck..

The weight of the scooter

Although tipping over on scooters is relatively rare, contrary to appearances, on one walk a child may lift it from the ground at least several times. Therefore, when choosing a particular model, pay attention to its weight, so that the child does not have to jerk with it, and that could lead to discouraging the Toddler from this type of activity. Scooters for young children available at MoMi (three-wheeled models) weigh about 3 kg.
