Scooter Safety For Kids: How to Ride Smart and Have Fun

Scooters have become a favorite outdoor toy for kids in the Philippines. You’ll find them in parks, on village pathways, and around school grounds, adding some excitement to playtime. But as they get more popular, it’s essential to remember safety, too.

Riding a scooter looks easy, but slips can happen, especially when kids are trying new moves. Here’s a simple safety guide for families wanting to mix fun with responsibility.

Choosing the Right Scooter for Your Child

Picking the right scooter helps kids feel secure right from the start, making it easier for them to learn and enjoy. Parents should look for age-appropriate scooters that are comfortable and stable:

• For ages 3 to 6: 3-wheel scooters are great since they’re steady and easy to control.

• For ages 7 and up: 2-wheel scooters glide faster and are suited for kids with better balance.

Key features to look for in an outdoor scooter:

1. Adjustable handles

2. Non-slip grip on the handles and deck

3. Sturdy wheels that support balance
