Very rarely do parents deny their children their whims, especially when it comes to acquiring things that are useful in many respects. And it seems like just yesterday your kid most of all wanted a bucket with a shovel, and today his most cherished dream is a scooter.

Starting from about the age of two, both boys and girls can easily master the technique of moving on a bright, and most importantly, driven only by them, vehicle. Yes, and parents breathe a sigh of relief, because their kid chose not roller skates or a bicycle, where the likelihood of injury is almost inevitable, but a scooter. Buying any model today is absolutely not a problem, but you need to know exactly what to guide and what parents should be guided by when choosing.

First of all, you should consider the age of the baby. If your child between the ages of two and three sleeps and sees personal vehicles in a dream, then it is better to purchase a three-wheeled vehicle for him. Kick scooter. Its main advantage is stability, thanks to which the child will not fall, get injured and cry. And the thicker the wheels in such a scooter, the more stable this vehicle is.

When choosing a scooter model, the presence or absence of experience in driving this vehicle plays a big role. If the child has already had to steer more than once, push off with his foot and brake correctly on someone else's scooter, then in such a situation he already needs a two-wheeled vehicle. And with a complete lack of experience and relevant skills, a three-wheeled scooter would be the best choice. Riding on it, the child will easily master all the necessary skills, and he will develop a sense of self-confidence and in his movements. After a while, your offspring will be very happy, picking up speed easily, controlling the situation during movement and braking.

It should be noted that when choosing a scooter, not only the age and experience of the child is important, but even his character. Three-wheeled scooters are ideal for real tomboys and for those children who are often injured due to their inattention. The thing is that a scooter with three wheels is not able to reach very high speed, and many models even have brakes. But for the normal development of the nervous system of the baby, the ability to control the work of the legs and arms at the same time is of great importance. It is not for nothing that leading manufacturers offer to purchase a three-wheeled scooter equipped with a manual orfoot brake. And it will be just great if you choose a model with a brake on the rear wheel. A child who is just mastering a scooter may not calculate his strength and brake sharply, which can lead to a fall if the brake is in front.

Three-wheeled scooter has the only drawback - it cannot be folded. Therefore, you should think in advance about the place to store it. But this is absolutely no reason to deny the child such an unearthly pleasure for him, which is also very beneficial for the he alth and development of the baby.
