Kids Scooters (Age 2 & Up)

Scooters for Kids - Premium Quality Scooters for Every Child

Our collection of scooters for kids features 3-wheel scooters, foldable scooters, stunt scooters, and scooters with large wheels.

Scooters for children are available in various versions, catering to specific needs. When selecting a scooter, consider your child's height, skill level, and personal preferences.

Important Factors When Selecting a Kids’ Scooter

There are three critical factors to consider when choosing a scooter for children.

Motor skill level and age: Age and motor skill level are helpful indicators when selecting a scooter for a child. Skill development varies, so while age is a general guide, consider your child's unique progress.
Type of scooter: Choose a scooter style that suits your child's needs and preferences, such as a freestyle scooter for thrill-seeking kids or a stable 3-wheel scooter for younger toddlers.
Size: Primarily concerned with the handlebar height, which should ideally be around the waist-level of your child.

Involve your child in the decision-making process. When children have a say in choosing their scooter, they are more enthusiastic and eager to use it often!

Varieties of Kids’ Scooters

Here are the four primary types of scooters for kids:

3-wheel scooters: These offer excellent stability, making them perfect for toddlers. Most 3-wheel scooters use a lean-to-steer method, allowing the child to change direction by tilting towards the desired turn. Unlike regular scooters, 3-wheelers typically have non-rotating handlebars.
Scooters with large wheels: Ideal for rougher terrains such as forest trails or gravel paths. They provide a smoother ride and better grip.
Foldable scooters for kids: Easily portable and convenient to store. You can place a foldable scooter in a car boot, cargo bike, or on public transport. The ease of transport makes these scooters an excellent option for versatile use.
Stunt scooters: These have simpler designs compared to other kids' scooters. Movable parts like folding mechanisms or adjustable handlebars introduce weak points, hence stunt scooters are designed for robustness. A key advantage is the ability to replace or upgrade many components, allowing the scooter to grow with your child’s evolving skills.

Based on this information, identify which scooter type best fits your child's skill set and interests.

Should I Opt for a 3-Wheeled or 2-Wheeled Scooter?

Consider your child’s coordination and muscle strength before deciding on a 2-wheel or 3-wheel scooter.

A 2-wheeled scooter demands more balance and stronger muscles but offers agility and easier turning at higher speeds. In contrast, a 3-wheeled scooter is more stable, which is ideal for beginners.

For 2-3 year-olds: 3-wheel scooters provide extra stability, allowing toddlers to develop balance and coordination naturally. They function on a lean-to-steer basis for directional changes.
For children aged 4 and above: Most kids are ready to transition to 2-wheeled scooters at this age. Whether transitioning from a 3-wheel model or starting with a 2-wheeler, success depends on balance and coordination skills.

Choosing the Right Scooter Size for Kids

The correct scooter size chiefly depends on the handlebar height, ideally positioned between the hips and the belly button.

Measure from the ground to the hips
Add 5 cm for the scooter deck's height (the platform on which your child stands).
Compare the total height of the scooter with your measurement.

Most children's scooters have adjustable heights and offer a range rather than a single fixed measurement.

The Benefits of Height-Adjustable Scooters for Children

The primary benefit of height-adjustable handlebars is allowing your child to find the most comfortable setting. Proper handlebar height facilitates better control.

As kids grow, you can raise the handlebars. The ability to adjust height is crucial as children can outgrow their scooter quickly.

Most scooters for kids come with adjustable handlebars, except for stunt scooters. Their Fixed-height design emphasises durability to withstand tricks and jumps.

The main drawback of adjustable handlebars is creating potential weak spots, hence stunt scooters opt for fixed heights to ensure strength and safety.

Stunt scooters offer a variety of replacement bars for easy adjustment to your child's height needs.

Quick Responses to Common Queries

How should I choose a scooter for my child?

Select a scooter suitable for your child's skills and intended use (casual rides or stunts). Always prioritise stability and safety.

What is the most suitable scooter for a 3-year-old?

A 3-wheel scooter is ideal for 2-3-year-olds, providing extra balance. Fast-developing kids may handle a 2-wheel scooter at 3, but generally, a 3-wheel version suits them better.

What scooter suits a 4, 5, or 6-year-old?

Ensure the handlebar height is around the child's waist when standing. If into tricks or requiring durability, a stunt scooter, upgradeable with high-quality scooter parts, might be preferable.

Are stunt scooters a suitable option for kids?

If your child is ready for a 2-wheeled scooter and you value durability over features like folding mechanisms and height adjustments, a stunt scooter is the only right option.

Yes – but it's only advisable with a stunt scooter. Foldable scooters are unsuitable for tricks and may break.

What distinguishes a kick scooter from a stunt scooter?

Standard kids’ scooters cater to daily riding and play, often equipped with folding mechanisms and adjustable handlebars. In contrast, stunt scooters are robust, non-foldable, and built for tricks and stunts.

Does the Quality of a Child’s Scooter Matter?

A quality scooter lasts longer, providing your child ample opportunity to familiarise themselves with it. It also offers a smoother ride due to superior components, boosting both confidence and enjoyment. Yes, it certainly matters!
