How to choose a scooter for growth?

With the onset of 2-3 years, the child is already showing an active interest in various "transport" means. The most popular and accessible of those is the scooter. Then the mothers and think about how to choose the right model of scooter, and pick it up so that it was on the growth of the child.

What kinds of scooters for children exist?

All scooters, designed for skating young children, have a one-piece design. As a rule, the steering column in most models is foldable, which ensures the convenience of transportation, and the scooter itself does not require much free storage space.

If we consider the scooters according to the type of construction, then first of all it is necessary to pay attention to the number of wheels. Typically, this kind of vehicles are equipped with 2, 3 and even 4 wheels. And, the more of them, the more stable the model. For children, the ideal option is 3 and 4 wheel models.

More manoeuvrable are scooters with 3 wheels. In this case, preference is best given to those variants of models in which 2 wheels are located in the front, and 1 - from the rear. As a rule, they have greater stability, which will affect the safety of the baby. After a fall when learning to ride a child on a similar means of transportation is almost inevitable.

How to choose the right scooter for growth?

This question is most often of interest to moms who purchase a scooter for their child. A win-win option in such cases is those models that have a steering wheel height adjustment. But what if the model you like does not have such an option?

In this case, when choosing a scooter, it is necessary to compare the height of the rudder and the growth of the child. To do this, offer the baby to stand with both feet on the platform (deck) and grasp the steering wheel. In this situation, attention should be paid to the location of the baby's hands. Ideally, they should be slightly inserted into the elbow joint, and the brushes themselves should be located along a line with the shoulder joint. Otherwise, the baby's hands will quickly get tired, and skating on such a scooter will soon become uninteresting to him.

That is why, if the child is already quite tall, then it is better for him to purchase a scooter with a height-adjustable rack.
