Three-wheel scooters

There are two major categories of scooters: the trickier two-wheeled models and the steadier three-wheeled ones that assist with balance and weight shift. Some scooters have one wheel on the back to provide extra stability, while others have an e-bike-style steering style that lets kids lean forward to steer (like the bike). We discovered that 3-wheelers with polyurethane (rather than plastic) wheels offer an easier ride over cracks and sidewalks. They also have a smaller turning radius than 2-wheelers.

A height-adjustable bar can help children find the best position for them to feel secure and balanced.
