Fact #1. If you've ever seen a teenager speeding down the street on a scooter, you might think that scooters and toddlers aren't a good mix. But scooters designed especially for toddlers are built with safety and proper development in mind. They're a great way to help your little tyke master a variety of motor skills while feeling like one of the big kids.
Fact #2. Your child's first scooter will have at least three wheels. A few models for the newest walkers will actually have four. Instead of being razor thin, the wheels on these units are larger. This is to provide a more solid base for toddlers to learn how to keep their balance. This stable configuration allows your child to lean into the scooter while they steer.
Fact #3. Keep in mind that unlike adult scooters, toddler scooters aren't the kind of thing you can bring with you on a long distance trip. Because of their stable design, these toys are generally not made to be folded. Besides, it's best to leave large items at home when traveling with a toddler, anyway.
Fact #4. Although they won't be traveling very fast, everyone riding on a scooter should wear a safety-approved helmet. It should include protection for the back of the head. A skateboard helmet is the right shape. Elbow and knee pads are also recommended by safety experts.
Fact #5. Your child will eventually become proficient and start making trips down the block. That's the perfect time to start teaching them traffic safety rules. As you tour the neighborhood, you can show them the proper way to cross the street and practice identifying the various street signs. Don't forget to emphasize the need to respect pedestrians who are sharing the sidewalk with them.
