With wheels, always a helmet

If you are giving a scooter, skates or a skateboard and do not know whether they have a helmet, add one or mention it. Without one, many parents will not let them try it out.

Think about the space

A kite needs a beach or open country; a scooter needs wide pavements or a park. For a flat with no patio, choose something that fits in a rucksack.

Frequently asked questions

Which scooter should you choose at each age?

Three wheels up to age 5 or 6, two wheels from then on. Check the maximum weight and that the handlebar is adjustable so it lasts several years.

Why don't you show the exact price?

Amazon prices change several times a day and we do not want to show you one that is no longer right. We give a rough range (for example, €10 to €20) based on what we saw on the day we reviewed it; the real price is the one shown on Amazon when you click.
