Baby scooters: how to choose

Three-wheeled bicycleMalish barely turned a year,and modern parents are already ready to change bulky carriages for a new children's transport. Of course, the first movable toy should be an old faithful tricycle. However, hardly in it you will recognize your friend from childhood. In recent years, tricycles have transformed beyond recognition, becoming a hybrid of stroller and bicycle. Soft seat, protective bumpers, seat belts, gaming and music panels, foot rest, roof-awning, comfortable handle for parents - these are all the details of a modern bicycle. The child just has to learn to twist the pedals (they still remember to add to this miracle tool).A photo: Getty Images In general, from a stroller such a tricycle is not very different, but the child, sitting on it, feels like an adult. After all, he now owns a real bicycle, and the fact that his mom and dad are pushing him from behind is not so important. The unequivocal advantage of a bicycle as a first vehicle is safety. In addition, these models are easily transformed into a classic tricycle. It is only necessary to remove all additional accessories. SamokatThe parents who want to accustom the child to the sport from an early age, it is necessary to choose a scooter. Usually with a scooter the child is introduced, starting from two years old, but advanced parents often do not wait for the second birthday and already give the kid a new interesting toy in one and a half. However, not every child will get to master this type of transport the first time. In the beginning, he would rather play with him, carry him like a stroller, and then learn how to ride. There is a high probability that in a child who has not learned to skate, the interest will disappear to the scooter, so it's better not to rush with this purchase. You need to start with a three-wheeled scooter. It is more stable, and therefore reliable, and it will be much easier to master his child. However, to choose a better model, calculated for the senior age, for example, 4 +. In dimensions it is almost the same as a scooter for two-year-olds, but it is able to withstand the weight of an adult. This is useful for parents who want to ride a scooter with a child. This option is convenient when the baby is time to wean from the stroller, but he does not have the strength to walk a full walk. The path from the house to the park, for example, can be traveled alone. Usually children are fascinated by the process of joint riding. And yet, parents should remember that children are falling off scooters and, before handing a new gift to the child, it is worth putting protective elements on it.A photo: Getty ImagesBevelBevel has a new product for us, and many are skeptical about him, but he has already won recognition in other countries. In fact, runovel is a trial version of a bicycle, only it does not have pedals. Learning to ride it, the child can easily transfer to a normal bicycle and go without additional wheels. Runovel is a good simulator for balance and coordination of movements. It is on him that the child's familiarity with speed takes place most safely. Having dispersed, the crumb can always intuitively lower his legs and slow down on the ground.A photo: Getty ImagesAfter two years the kid can safely ride a runbike (so often called a runovel), and travel on it up to seven: it can be adjusted for the growth of the child. By the way, some scooters have a runaway function. One vehicle becomes different due to a removable seat. You can just screw the saddle to the scooter, and the kid - the master is already running. This option is good if the young biker is not afraid to experiment and is ready to conquer the park paths by any means.
