Rating of the best scooters for kids in 2020

Despite the point of view of most people, the scooter is one of the best modes of transport for getting around in the city, surpassing in some directions 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 2020.

How to choose?

Often, these vehicles are purchased for children in ordinary retail outlets, and not through stores on the network, since this makes it possible to evaluate the convenience of control and comfort while 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 handlebar position is at the chest level of the little rider. Given the quick growth rate of children, ideally it is worth looking at the variations with the ability to adjust the height. The dimensions of the deck are also paramount - the longer it is, the harder it will be to accelerate. With regard to the weight of the apparatus, it should be such that the child can lift it himself.

  • Wheels

Here the material has a special meaning. Plastic is often used, but they do not stand out for their strength, and in addition do not guarantee softness of movement. Variations from rubber materials are more affordable and durable. Polyurethane materials are famous for their own 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 more speed and rigidity will be - the best variation ranges from 75 to 78 A).

  • Brakes

Children will find it easier 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 soft ride.

  • Steering wheel

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

For children over 4 years old, a good solution would be to buy a traditional metal product with two wheels, and for those who like to travel off-road, you should look at scooters with oversized wheels. Well, a child, whose age is within 5-12 years, with confidence feeling "at the wheel", can make happy an electric model.
