Rating of the best scooters for children in 2022

Despite the opinion of most people, the scooter is one of the best modes of transport for getting around the city, surpassing in some aspects such a common type of vehicle as bicycles.

The “basis” for all the advantages of such devices is considered to be the criterion of small dimensions, which determines both good agility and an excellent level of controllability, and such an initially implicit characteristic as transportability.

This article provides a ranking of the best scooters for kids in 2022.

How to choose?

Often these vehicles are purchased by children at regular retail outlets, and not through online stores, as this makes it possible to evaluate the convenience of control and comfort in the process of riding. The criteria for choosing the most acceptable scooter are as follows.

• Weight and dimensions

The height of the device must be such that the upper position of the steering wheel is at the level of the chest of a small racer. Given the nimble growth rate of children, ideally you should look at variations with the ability to adjust the height. The dimensions of the deck are also paramount - the longer it is, the more difficult it will be to accelerate. Regarding the weight of the apparatus, it must be such that the child can lift it himself.

• wheels

This is where the material comes into play. Often used plastic, but they are not distinguished by strength, and in addition do not guarantee the softness of movement. Variations made of rubber materials are more affordable and durable.Polyurethane materials are famous for their durability, which increases the period of use of the entire vehicle, however, when choosing it, it is worth considering the size of the components (the higher it is, the faster and stiffer it will be - the best variation ranges from 75 to 78 A).

• brakes

It will be easier for children to handle the manual type system. Kids, of course, need to choose such versions, but if the child has at least slightly adapted to such a vehicle, it will not be superfluous to look at scooters in which the braking process is performed by the rear wheel, which guarantees a smooth ride.

• Steering wheel

In the case of adjustable handlebar height, it is extremely important to check the quality of the lock lock. In addition, you should prefer a scooter whose handles are covered with anti-slip, soft and pleasant to the touch material.

Babies under the age of 4 can purchase a three- or four-wheeled model. Experts advise giving preference to kickboards, which are mostly safe, durable and instinctively understandable even for toddlers.

For children over 4 years old, a traditional metal product with two wheels is a good solution, and for those who like to travel off-road, you should look at scooters with overall wheels. Well, a child whose age is within 5-12 years old, who feels confidently “driving”, can be made happy by an electric-type model.
