With so many different types of scooters available it can make hard to pick out the right type for your child- so take a look at our guide to kids ' scooters for some handy advice.
Getting the Right Size Scooter for Children
Picking the right scooter size and type for your child ' s age means that they ' ll have much more fun, whether they ' re whizzing to school on two wheels, or just playing at the park. Generally speaking the scooter ' s handlebars should reach your child ' s hip / waist height. This is the ideal scooter size, as it means they ' ll be able to ride with greater control- and more confidence. You ' ll also want to make sure the scooter isn ' t too big- kids should be able to ride their scooter with a straight back, and not hunched over!

3 & 4 Wheeled Scooters- Usually made from plastic, these are great for little ones just getting started with a scooter as the extra wheels make things more stable for wobbly toddlers Adjustable Handlebars- These can be a smart idea if you ' d like to get more use out of the scooter. As your child grows you can adapt the handlebar height to suit them- perfect for growth spurts! Folding Scooters- Fantastic for kids to ride on during the school run, these scooters are easily portable, so once you ' ve dropped the kids off you can fold the scooter away and carry it or pop it in the boot hassle-free Electric Scooters- A really fun way of getting around, electric scooters tend to be powered by batteries which need charging, and can usually reach speeds of around 10mph
