Around the age of three is a great time to get a scooter (all children are different and may be ready at an earlier or later stage). Three is a great age to start learning to ride a scooter as their height, weight and motor skills are at a stage of developement that means they can learn to control and safely ride a scooter.
A 3-wheeled scooter is the best starting point, if they are around the age of three to five and haven't learn to scoot yet, they are easier then a 2-wheeled scooter as they are easier to balance and control. If your child is a confident rider on a 3-wheeled then a 2-wheeled scooter is the next step for them.

Our brands such as Globber and Micro Scooter offer our customers a 3 in 1 scooter or known as a go up scooter by globber, which grows with your child from a young age. From around the age 1 year it is can be used as a pushalong ride on with a handle for parental control. As your child grows it can be then used as a seated scooter where they will learn to steer and control the scooter and then finally around the age of three it is then is a 3-wheeled scooter for them to enjoy.

When it comes to kids scooters, there are a lot of options. So many that it can be overwhelming to pick the right one for your child.
