Best Scooters for All Ages: From Toddlers to 7-Year-Olds

Not only are kids’ scooters a great way for your child to learn motor skills and develop their full-body coordination, but they also offer an avenue to autonomy for even the youngest kiddos. Do you remember the rush of riding your scooter to the candy store down the street? Or showing up to the park to ride with your friends?

Kick scooters, unlike motorized scooters, are great scooters for kids. They’re safe, quick, and affordable, and everyone, from 18 months to 7 years, is dying to get their hands on a kids’ scooter. For parents, the objective is easy – find the best scooter for kids. But the road to getting there may have a speedbump or two.

Luckily, at Besrey, we’re here to make kids’ lives more fun and parents’ lives easier. To find the best scooter for your child, no matter their age, keep reading.

Fun, Functional Features to Look For

If you give a 2-year-old and a 7-year-old the same scooter, you’ll get very different results. While toddlers haven’t yet mastered using their legs for a kick scooter, school-aged kids can easily balance, move around obstacles, and push with power. That’s why choosing a kids’ scooter that matches your child’s age, size, and skill level is the key to keeping scooter rides safe and fun.

Children 1.5 to 3 Years

At this age, the focus should be on stability and gaining confidence. Three-wheel scooters are the perfect option; they’re easy to balance, harder to get hurt on, and less overwhelming for young ones. Look for:

Wide, slip-resistant foot decks
Large wheels for navigating bumps and cracks in the sidewalk
Adjustable handlebars that can grow with your child

Children 3 to 5 Years

As your child’s motor skills develop, they’ll want more speed and independence. Some kiddos in this age range will be ready to transition to a two-wheel scooter, while others will want the added stability of a three-wheel scooter for a bit longer. Look for:

Lightweight frames that are easy to maneuver
Foot brakes in the back
A wide foot deck

Children 5 to 7 Years

By the time your child hits school age, they’ll be ready for all the “big kid” features. A two-wheel scooter will help them develop advanced motor skills, withstand higher speeds, and, most likely, match what their friends are riding. For this age group, look for kick scooters with:

Durable frames that can handle some minor crashes
Wheels that glide well
Foldable frames that allow scooters to be transported easily
Higher weight/height design specifications

Where to Start? Besrey’s Kick Scooter

When we designed our kick scooter, we did so with kids in mind. From toddlers to double digits, the Besrey Kick Scooter has features that you and your child will love. Not only is it sturdy and secure with an extra-wide foot deck, but its soft handlebars and Learn-to-Steer technology make it easy for kids to ride with control.

We know that kids aren’t going to get excited about the steering technology or size of the foot decks, but you know what they will love? The LED wheels that get brighter and faster as they kick.

Finding the right kids’ scooter shouldn’t feel like a chore. It should feel like an informed journey that helps instill confidence, mobility, and independence from a young age. Now you just have to find the right color. Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of those, too.
