Which scooter is the right one for my child

A scooter is not only fun, but also a great tool for developing your child's motor skills. But how do you find the ideal scooter?

Choosing the right scooter for your child depends on several factors. Not only age plays a role, but also your child's size, stage of development and individual motor skills. Every child is unique - and that's why Scoot and Ride offers products that are perfectly tailored to different needs.

Age is a good indication

While the age provides an initial guide, you should also consider the size and physical development of your child. Some children are motorically ready for a scooter earlier, while others need a little more time. It is important that your child feels safe and is stable enough to enjoy riding.

The first step into the world of mobility - My First

Indoor fun guaranteed - our “My First” is ideal for toddlers from 6 months. This model playfully supports the little ones in their first attempts at walking and standing. It promotes motor skills and balance while your child moves safely and comfortably. The removable lower part of the baby slide hides clever functions. It can be removed and turned over, so you can switch between a stable plate or quiet rollers. The plate itself can be used as a rolling board. The “My First” is light and easy to handle - perfect for the first discoveries.

Off to the great outdoors with the Highwaykick 1

From around 1 to 1.5 years - depending on your child's physical stability - the Highwaykick 1 is the right choice for their first adventures outdoors. And for all children who still need a little “push” from their parents into the world of mobility, the Highwaykick 1 Push and Go.  

In the seat function, your child can slowly get used to the new way of getting around while training balance and coordination at the same time. Note: Check in advance whether your child can stand safely and move around without help before switching to the standing position. It is particularly practical that the parent push bar on the scooter can be easily removed at any time. The children can then whizz off on their own.​

Thanks to the height-adjustable seat and handlebar, the Highwaykick 1 Push and Go and the Highwaykick  1 (model without parent push bar) remain a loyal companion for your child up to the age of three or a height of 118 cm.
