Buying A Safe Kids Three Wheel Scooter
Do you have young children? Do you want them to play outdoors and get exercise so they will be active and live a long and healthy life? Every parent wants this for their kids but some are unsure of what activities their kids can do that is not only fun and active, but also safe as well. One option you can consider getting for your kid is a three wheel scooter.
For young children, safety is especially crucial because they are still growing and developing. Their small bodies are fragile and can become easily hurt. A bike may not be the best option. A three wheel scooter is safer than a bike.
A regular bike may be too risky to put them on because there is large chance that they will fall. If an adult falls off a bike, they may get a few minor cuts and bruises, but they know how to easily treat them. Also, adults will not feel too much pain and can easily get back up again and keep riding.
It is different for children because they cannot handle as much pain if they happen to fall. They do not know how to treat wounds because it is usually their parents that do this for them. They are more dependent and need taking care of if any accident happens. Also, since kids are much smaller than adults, the injury an adult may suffer from falling off a bike that seems minor is a big injury to a child.
For these reasons, instead of getting a bike for your child, consider getting a scooter that has three wheels. These types of scooters have a three way support system. A bike only has two supports. Also, with a bike you must learn how to balance before you can ride, which is when most of the accidents occur. Since these scooters have three wheels, balance is not an issue and chances are that your kid will not fall off of one.
There are some features to look for in these scooters. Here are some questions to ask before purchasing one. What kind of steering does it have? Is it electrically powered or manually powered? Does it have a good safety stop? Where is the safety stop located? Are the handle bars adjustable? Is the frame made of a strong and durable material or a cheap and weak one?
Make sure the associate you speak with can answer those questions. If they are unsure, you can always read the specifics and content of the features located on the outside of the scooters box. If buying online, this information should be in the product description or you can look up the brand that makes the scooter and contact them via email or phone call.
So if you want your child to be active at an early age and also be safe, consider a three wheel scooter. It is not as risky and dangerous as a bike and it is fun for all young kids.

Three Wheel Scooter

 (5.0 / 5.0) Designed for kids ages 3-5, the mini is the quality choice in children's scooters. In 2009, the mini was recognized by the prestigious Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, which awarded it the Gold and the Platinum Best Toy Award Seals. The mini also was named 'Best Pre-School Scooter' by Toy Report.
What makes the mini fun and unique is its 'lean-and-steer' design which allows children to use their body weight to control the steering, giving kids the feeling of 'surfing' the sidewalk, as they curve from right to left, almost like a skateboard. The lean-and-steer adds an element of fun and control that young children love.
The mini's 3 wheels provide greater stability. The wheels are Italian-made of highest quality PU, which creates a wonderfully smooth glide. The wheels also make for a quiet ride, a joy for parents and children alike and since they don't leave black marks on the floor, the mini can be ridden inside.
The kickboard is low-to-the-ground and large enough for both feet, making it easy for young children to hop on and off and to switch from pushing, to just enjoying the ride.
The 'spoon' brake at the back adds additional control, and kids like it because its just like the 'big kid' scooters.
For parents, the mini scooter's light weight (only 3.3lbs), means it's easy to pick up and carry when need be.
The mini scooter helps young children to develop their balance, co-ordination and motor skills.
The mini scooter is designed with a weight recommendation of 60lbs. Please note that the scooter displays a weight limit of 20kg (44 lbs). The reason for the discrepancy is that European standards dictate that weights are approved in increments of 10 kg (22lbs), so the next available weight category of 30 kg, or 66 lbs, would have put the displayed recommended weight limit OVER its actual recommendation of 60 lbs.
The mini is a great mode of mobility for young kids! Available in blue, pink, orange and aqua.

 (4.0 / 5.0) Slider The Unscooter is the Best Action & Fitness Product of 2007. A Three-wheel action scooter with removable handle pole and handle bars, and the only one of it's kind with dual handbrakes, three-wheel steering and 'Action Decks' TM technology designed to propel you without your feet touching the ground -- Scissor Action: Pivot both feet all the way out then all the way back in -- Roller Blading Action: Steer and pivot to the left as you shift your weight to your right leg and push out to the right, then steer and pivot to the right while shifting your weight to your left leg and pushing out to the left -- Slalom Action: Same as Roller Blading Action except you shift your weight and both feet to one side then the other - like skiing. Turning: Slow turns are accomplished normally by turning the handlebars in the direction you wish to turn while keeping your feet shoulder width apart. Faster turns will require some practice since the rear wheels will also begin to steer in an arc around the front wheel; use the brakes to slow and begin by turning in the opposite direction (countersteer) to slow the rate at which the back pivots around. Always lean forward and into the direction you wish to go while pushing out with the outside foot. www.unscooter.com

 (4.5 / 5.0) The Mini is the quality scooter for young children. The mini kick scooter won the Oppenheim Toy Gold and Platinum Award Seals 2009 and also was awarded 'Best Toy' by Learning Express Stores. Toy Report also called the mini that 'Best Toy for Pre-school Kids'.
What makes the mini unique and fun is its 'lean-and-steer' design which allows children to use their body weight to control the steering, giving kids the feeling of 'surfing' the sidewalk, as they curve from right to left, almost like a skateboard, adding an element of fun and control that young children love.
The Mini scooter is designed with 3 wheels for greater stability and control. The Italian-made highest-quality polyurethane wheels create a wonderfully smooth, quiet glide.

The 'spoon' brake at the back adds additional control, and kids like it because its just like the 'big kid' scooters.
For parents, the Mini scooter is light weight (only 3.3lbs), so it's easy to pick up and carry when need be.
The Mini scooter makes scooting fun for young children at the same time as helping to develop their balance, co-ordination and motor skills.
The Mini scooter is designed with a weight recommendation of 60lbs. Please note that the scooter displays a weight limit of 20kg (44 lbs). The reason for the discrepancy is that European standards dictate that weights are approved and displayed only in increments of 10 kg (22lbs), so the next available weight category of 30 kg, or 66 lbs, would have put the displayed recommended weight limit OVER its actual recommendation of 60 lbs.
The design team at Micro-Mobility in Switzerland are always working to achieve ever-higher standards of excellence. They recently added a reinforced brake, stronger U-bar, and a new locking pin for easy handlebar removal.
