Many also feature suspension systems to provide greater stability. Three-Wheel Scooters There are two main kinds of scooters designed for kids that are more trick-ready, two-wheeled models and the more stable three-wheelers that help teach balance and weight shifting. Some scooters feature wheels on the back to provide extra stability. Others use the bicycle-like steering system, where kids lean forward to steer.

Children need to wear protective pads and helmets to shield their knees and arms from injury. Pediatric physical therapist Lauren Drobnjak recommends using a scooter with a handlebar height that places kids' arms at about a 90-degree angle from their shoulders, and she advises that riders wear socks and shoes. Scooter owners are advised to clean and lubricate their wheel with silicone grease to avoid metal scraping against each other.

The factors that affect your choice include whether or not you prefer a four-wheeled or three-wheeled model, the turning radius, and weight capacity.
