Kids Scooters are all the rage right now and as a parent I am really pleased about this because I think they are beneficial to children in a variety of ways. Firstly kids scooters can help to develop stability in your child’s balance. When using Ride on trikes etc little balance is actually needed to stay on board. At the other extreme, learning to ride a bike for a child requires much more balance and I believe that scooters for kids are a fantastic way to bridge the gap between these two forms or transport. Children can get used to balancing on 2 wheels on a scooter where their feet are just an inch or 2 from the ground, safe in the knowledge they can put their feet down on the floor at any time. Your children can also begin to learn about how their centre of gravity changes when they turn corners, again for handy for when they start to learn to ride a bicycle.
