10 best three-wheeled scooters
Invented several centuries ago, the scooter has firmly entered human life and today almost every schoolchild can ride it. However, not every child is able to quickly master the classic model with two wheels without falls and bruises, and an unpleasant experience can discourage the desire to learn to ride something. Models with three wheels help prepare for a regular scooter and even a bicycle. They will teach the kid the basic principles of driving a vehicle, basic balance, and also just entertain.
A three-wheeled scooter is the most stable and easy-to-learn type of scooter, thanks to which it is considered the best choice for children from 3 to 7. Therefore, most of this type of transport is represented by children's models. However, since ease of control and balance is very important for any beginner, there are sometimes three-wheeled scooters for adults and teenagers. Some companies have also developed special solutions for the smallest - toddlers from 2 years old. At the same time, three-wheeled vehicles can differ not only in suitability for a particular age, but also in many other characteristics, including:
- Type of construction and mode of movement. The most common are kickboards. These scooters, like a skateboard, are guided by the foot, and the handle only slightly adjusts the movement. Representatives of the urban type are light, compact, inexpensive, but suitable only for asphalt paths. Also among the three-wheeled scooters there are triders for older children and adolescents and convertible runbike scooters for toddlers.
- Maximum permissible load. The higher the indicator, the stronger and safer the structure.
- Materials. For lighter weight, cheap scooters sometimes use a plastic frame, but they are not robust enough for an active child and are generally short-lived.
- Wheel size. The larger the diameter of the wheels, the less demanding the scooter is on the road surface. A small or medium diameter is suitable for riding on flat asphalt, while a large diameter will make it easy to ride even on sand or gravel.
- Steering wheel adjustment. Children quickly grow out of their favorite things and toys, but the ability to change the height of the steering wheel will allow them to stay with their favorite scooter for at least several years.
- Helpful additions. Glowing wheels, deck lights, decorations or a toy basket will keep your little one interested, the foldable design makes storage easy, and the protective elements guarantee safety.
- The weight. The lighter a child's scooter is, the easier it is for a child to use it.
When distributing the ranking positions, special attention was paid to the following parameters:
- technical design features;
- customer reviews;
- test results;
- value for money.
