BEST SCOOTER FOR KIDS
Hello, welcome to Micro Scooters. You've probably reached this post because you're undecided as to what the best scooter for kids is. We get it, it's a big investment and we know that you want to get it right. We have put together some info to help guide you.Nursery (12 months to 5 years)
All of our scooters in this range are designed with 3 wheels and the iconic tilt to steer mechanism. This makes the range hugely popular as pre-schoolers can grasp steering with little effort. The feeling of independence that they gain is truly tremendous to boot. The 3 wheels provide stability with the scooter remaining in an upright position, so always has a solid foundation for little feet to jump on and off. The best scooter for kids aged 12 months to 5 years:
- Mini Micro 3 in 1. A ride on scooter with footrests and parent steering handle. All the brilliant things to make the journey to the park so much easier with a pre-schooler. The Mini 3 in 1 comes apart in stages to eventually turn into a Mini Micro Deluxe and will literally grow with your child, it comes in a deluxe version, LED versionor Eco version. See it here >>

Children (5 -12 years)
The biggest decision to make in this age category is whether to go for 2 or 3 wheels. Three wheels are brilliant for younger riders who aren't quite ready to part with their Mini Micro Scooter. They have the tilt and turn functionality and are especially good for those who cant yet ride a bike without stabilisers. Two wheeled scooters are brilliant for independent explorers who've mastered the art of balance and those who prefer the design of 2 wheels. The best scooter for kids aged 5 to 12 years:
- Maxi Micro. Our much loved 3 wheel scooter in a maxi size. Available as a foldable edition and with or without light up sparkle wheels. You can also design and create your own. See it here >>
