Very rarely, parents refuse their whims to their children, especially when it comes to acquiring things that are useful in many respects. And it seems like yesterday your baby most of all wanted a bucket with a spatula, and today his scooter is his most cherished dream.
Starting from about two years of age, both boys and girls can easily master the technique of movement in a bright, and most importantly, vehicle driven only by them. Yes, and parents sigh with relief, because their baby did not choose rollers or a bicycle, where the likelihood of injury is almost inevitable, namely a scooter. Buying any model today is absolutely not a problem, but you need to know exactly what to be guided by and what parents should be guided in when choosing.
First of all, you should consider the age of the baby. If your child is between two and three years old sleeping and sees in a dream a personal transport, then it is better to purchase a three-wheeled scooter for him. Its main advantage is stability, due to which the child will not fall, injure and cry. And the thicker the wheels in such a scooter, the more stable this vehicle.
When choosing a scooter model, the presence or absence of experience in driving this vehicle plays a large role. If a child has already had to drive a wheel more than once, push off with his foot and brake correctly on someone's scooter, then in such a situation he already needs a two-wheeled vehicle. And with a complete lack of experience and relevant skills, the best choice would be a three-wheeled scooter. Riding it, the child will easily master all the necessary skills, and he will form a feeling of confidence in himself and in his movements. After some time, your offspring will be very happy, easily gaining speed, 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 carelessness. The thing is that a scooter with three wheels is not able to develop very high speed, and in many models there are even brake mechanisms. But for the normal development of the baby’s nervous system, the ability to control the legs and arms at the same time is of great importance. No wonder the leading manufacturers offer to purchase a three-wheeled scooter equipped with a manual or foot 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.
The three-wheeled scooter has the only drawback - it can not be folded. Therefore, you should think about a place for storage in advance. But this is absolutely no reason to refuse the child in such an unearthly pleasure for him, which is also very useful for the health and development of the baby.
