15 Best Scooters for Kids
1) Micro Maxi Deluxe- Best Scooter Overall for Kids
Price: $139.99
You want to be sure that anything with wheels your little one will be hopping on is super sturdy. The Micro Maxi Deluxe Scooter is pretty much indestructible. At the same time, it rides smooth and is easy to steer. You lean to steer with your bodyweight just as you would on a skateboard, but the scooter provides a bit more stability. This scooter is best for children 5-12 years old, giving it a pretty good range.
You can replace every piece of this scooter, so even when it is getting run down you can make it feel brand new again. Also, you can easily remove the T-bar if you need to store the scooter or want to take it somewhere with you. On top of this, it weighs just 5 lbs.
2) Razor A5 Lux Scooter
Price: $79
Razor is a well-trusted brand and has been making go-to scooters for years. The A5 Lux keeps all the great things about their original scooter, but is bigger and has deluxe extra-large urethane wheels. These wheels make for an extra smooth ride and can hold riders up to 220 lbs. One of my favorite things about this scooter is how easy it is to fold up and take along wherever you go. This is a great feature for pre-teens who are gaining their independence and want an easy way to get across the neighborhood but don’t want to be left with bulky equipment like a bike.
3) Globber Primo Plus
Price: $72
This scooter is a wonderful option if you are looking for something that can help your little one learn the basics, and grow with them as they figure it out. There is a steering lock button that helps little kiddos to learn, and even though it is a three-wheeled scooter they have made it very easy to fold up. The T-bar is also very easy to adjust, which is wonderful for fast-growing children.
4) Razor A3
Price: $62
For our second Razor brand scooter on the list, we bring you the Razor A3. It is more petite than the A5 Lux, and probably more of the traditional Razor you are used to seeing. It is a kick scooter made of sturdy aircraft-grade aluminum with a shock-absorbing front wheel and a rear fender brake. There are foam handle grips and it is easy to adjust the handlebar height. It is also lightweight and easy t0 fold and to carry. This scooter is made for kids 5 years old and up!
5) Den Haven Scooter
Price: $19.95
If you are looking for one of the best scooters for kids on a budget, the Den Haven Scooter is a wonderful choice. It is a three-wheeled scooter with a handlebar that can lock in place for new riders. The wide deck makes for smooth, fun, and easy riding. If one of your worries about the low price is that it might be made of low-quality materials, think again! It is made of metal and durable nylon composites very similar to those of much more expensive scooters.
6) Radio Flyer My First Scooter- Best Scooter for Little Kids
Price: $34.99
Like it says right in the name, this Radio Flyer makes for a great first scooter for little ones. In fact, it is made specifically for children 2-5 years old and has a turning radius designed for safety. The deck is even textured so little feet will have extra traction and the scooter is low to the ground with three wheels. You will probably be surprised to find out that scooter riding can actually help your toddler with the development of both balance and coordination.
7) MorfBoard Skate & Scoot Combo
Price: $146
The MORFBOARD is a totally new type of scooter, and we are loving it! It is made for skating, scootering, bouncing and balancing. As you probably guessed from the name, this board can morph into many different things. You can easily switch between a skateboard and a scooter with no tools required.
It is great for both the casual rider and the daredevil who wants to try out some tricks. Best of all, it comes in four great trendy colors that your kiddo is sure to love.
8) Yvolution Fliker Air A1 Push Swing Scooter- The Best Unique Scooter for Kids
Price: $90
Another unique scooter option on this list is the Yvolution Y Fliker Air A1. It is a self-propelled scooter that is perfect for drifting and freestyle riding, which is loads of fun. You do not ever have to put your feet on the ground, but instead, sway side to side to propel the scooter forward. Because there are two decks instead of one, your child will actually be more secure. There are also quick-response brakes, anti-slip footplates, and super-grip wheels. Even with its unique design, the scooter is still easy to fold up and store.
9) Fuzion Z300 Pro Scooter
Price: $159.99
If you have a kid who already loved scootering and is looking to take things up another level, gift them with their very first stunt scooter. It is built tough for kids and great for both the intermediate and beginner stunt rider. It has a sleek design and custom components that will make your child feel like the coolest kid in the skate park. They ride super smooth and are durable so they stay in good shape for the long run.
10) Mongoose Expo Scooter
Price: $39
Again, the Mongoose is a more unique option in the scooter world with its 12-inch air-inflated wheels, perfect for all types of terrain. I like to think of it as more of a stand-up bike since it has the bigger air-inflated wheels and BMX style hand brakes and axle pegs. These brakes allow for great speed control and the ability to come to an immediate stop if necessary.
Best news of all for parents, this scooter comes pre-assembled so once it is at your door it’s ready to go.
11) Lascoota 2-in-1 Kick Scooter with Removable Seat
Price: $69.95
This 2-in-1 scooter is amazing for toddlers! Not only is it fun with light-up wheels that flash as you get moving and bright colors, but it has the option to add on a seat. The seat is adjustable and can be easily taken off and put back on. Your little one can scoot around in the seat until they are confident enough to stand on the scooter.
Once they are ready to stand, this is a great scooter because it’s a self-balancing scooter providing your child with plenty of stability. It is also easy to turn and stop and is low to the ground to make hopping on and off easy.
12) Micro Kickboard Mini Deluxe
Price: $89.99
The Micro Mini is a favorite scooter among many kids. It is a three-wheeled scooter perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. This scooter is another lean to steer, which is very easy for young children to get the hang of. It is also very lightweight so your kiddo can pick it up, carry it, and turn it around with ease.
13) BELEEV Kick Scooter
Price: $59.95
This is another fun scooter with flashing light-up LED wheels. They are so bright you will even be able to see them in the daylight, but the make night time rides a blast. This scooter is very versatile and your child can ride it from ages 3 to 14. On top of this, this scooter features all the important basics. It has great wheels, a durable and wide deck, lean to steer technology, and a reliable foot brake.
14) Jetson Orbit Light Up Scooter
Price: $27.72
Like we mentioned above, getting one of the best scooters for your kid does not have to break the bank. This is a great scooter with lights all over the frame that comes at a budget-friendly price. Just remember to grab a pack of AA batteries to light up the stem and deck lights!
15) Pulse Performance Revster 200- Best Budget-Friendly Electric Scooter for Kids
Price: $59
Of course, we cannot forget the electric scooters! The Pulse Performance Revster 200 has Push-To-Go technology and provides a smooth ride from the moment you begin. The wheels are puncture proof and durable, along with a great chain drive system. The rear foot brake provides a motor power shut off and quick, safe stopping.
