Muscle Power  

Reflex training is a great way to help one develop muscles, muscles that are plump for the long run. When children hustle and bustle using a kid’s scooter, their muscles are sure to get more into shape and stronger as well.

The 3 wheelers with two wheels in the front and one in the rear is sure to offer greater stability. The most ubiquitous brand you ask? Micro Scooter. The best for beginners. While the two-wheeler scooters are best suited for children between age 5 to 8, the Pro scooters are also great for the very same age group who seek to practice stunts.

If however, you’d like your child to play it safe and not try stunts of sorts, the Electric scooter would ideal for the same. They are heavier but they do not need to be kicked or pushed around, rather steered electrically with not much effort involved at all. You also have the Caster Scooter, perfect for children who fall in the age cap of 4 – 8. These scooters although not permissible for stunts, they require a kid to move their body weight from side to side, kicking away with the wind in their hair.
