According to our recent survey, the school run is the most stressful part of the day for
3 out of 4 mums. A startling 77% of you said you found it more stressful than grocery
shopping or working. We are of course converts to scooting the school run where possible but know it's not possible for everyone. However, we do believe very much in the saying "those that can, scoot". With that mind we have compiled 5 natty ripostes to those scooting naysayers....

You wouldn't catch me dead on a scooter. I am too uncoordinated/people will laugh at me/I'm too old.
The school run scooting converts say...
GET WITH THE PROGRAMME GRANDMA! Scooting with the kids is the way forward. Laugh with delight in the faces of those stuck in traffic jams near the school as you whizz on by…

But seriously, isn’t scooting the school run a bit “sad”
The school run scooting converts say...
Sad schmad. Not only does scooting the school run give us and the kids our exercise for the day but it also gives us that little extra bonding time with them before we all dash off to school/work etc.

It's easier to drive to school
The school run scooting converts say...
Really? How many times have you shouted for the children to “GET IN THE CAR WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE”. We promise you that no child will argue with being allowed to scoot to school in the morning. Scooting also helps with their balance, coordination and independence skills.

It’s not safe, there are major roads to be crossed on the way to school
The school run scooting converts say...
Allowing your child the independence to make their way to school (under your supervision) is a great first step to teaching them how to behave at roadsides and helps builds their confidence.

You are going to mention the environment aren't you?
The school run scooting converts say...
Yes we are! We guarantee that no exhaust fumes are emitted from our scooters (just pushing power). Scooting is clean and kind to the environment.
Ohhh it feels good to get that out of our systems! Do you agree or disagree with the reasons above? Is scooting to school the new way forward? Let us know what you think in the comments below....
