10 Best Scooters for Toddlers 2024

What Is It?

As ultra-modern as the Hurtle looks, it’s not an electric scooter. The Hurtle 3-Wheeled Scooter is a three-wheel kick scooter with two wheels in front and one at the rear. It is made for ages one to fourteen years old. That means you don’t have to buy another scooter until your kids become teenagers.

It comes with a convenient fold-out seat and built-in footpad, giving young riders the option to cruise around the street standing or seated. Toddlers may be more comfortable riding in a sitting position and then transition to the standing position as they feel more confident.

This scooter sports a stylish design complete with LED light-up wheels that is self-powered. No batteries or electricity recharge is required.

Key Features

The Hurtle 3-Wheeled Scooter for Kids is one of the most fashionable toddler scooters available at the market today, and it’s a good thing they come in colors that appeal to both boys and girls. You can choose this Hurtle scooter in an array of eight different colors including pink, green camouflage, graffiti, blue, purple, red, and yellow.

Since it comes with an adjustable heights function to fit kids as young as 12 months and up to 14-year-olds, you can get different colors of the same scooter model for multiple kids of different ages. You can actually swap the deck with another color if you like. This scooter can be set to three height adjustments.

The Hurtle’s handlebars do not turn, forcing the young rider to learn how to shift their center mass to make turns. This helps children develop balance and build coordination. It features a lean-to-steer mechanism allowing kids to turn the scooter left or right by gently leaning their body weight in the direction they wish to go.

Safety

The Hurtle 3-Wheeled Scooter for Kids is built with child safety in mind. It features an extra-wide deck with enough room for both of the rider’s feet. The wide deck also makes it easy for kids to hop on and hop off the scooter. Not only does this promote riding confidence, but it also reduces slipping.

The polyurethane wheels deliver a smooth ride and promote the scooter’s sturdy frame. This is because polyurethane wheels are better than plastic wheels when it comes to withstanding grease, oil, cutting, chunking, and abrasive wear. They are just at home outdoors as they are indoors without leaving markings on your home floor.

Weighing about 8 pounds, the Hurtle 3-Wheeled Scooter is lightweight enough for easy maneuverings and lifting. For storage, you can easily detach the handlebars and fold them under the deck’s plate. And, yes, it has rear-wheel brakes—perfect for quick stops.

Verdict

The type of wheels on a scooter is one more issue you should look out for when shopping for scooters for kids. Polyurethane wheels are superior to both rubber and plastic, so polyurethane wheels are a scored point. The Hurtle features intelligent gravity steering and automatic balance reset that provides quiet and smooth-riding even on bumpy terrain. It’s a fun and safe choice that should please nearly any toddler.

The Radio Flyer Toddler Ride-on Scoot 2 Scooter is one of the cutest beginner scooter/ride-on toys for your child to safely enjoy at home. The Radio Flyer brand is a household name renowned for making quality and long-lasting products. The same is true about the Radio Flyer Toddler Ride-on Scoot 2 Scooter.

It comes with a removable seat and a transparent storage area beneath the seat where kids can stash their toys and stuff. The scooter grows with the child since the handlebars can be adjusted to fit different riding heights. That and the removable seat allows children to easily transition from sitting to standing as they grow into a more confident toddler.

Key Features

We like how easy it is to detach and convert the seat into a deck. It takes just seconds to convert the seat to a deck with no tools required. The size and weight are the perfect size for ages one to four years old.

It has a 44-pound maximum weight capacity and would get wobbly with more weight. For the ages it is meant for, the scooter sports a sturdy frame that will last a long time. The sturdy frame and four wheels allow kids to safely build riding confidence and balance.

Safety

The Radio Flyer Toddler Ride-on Scoot 2 Scooter comes with durable wheels designed to be used on a smooth, paved surface. It rides well on carpets, linoleum floors, wood floors, and driveways. The wheels can handle well on grass but not as great as it does on carpets or your driveway.

Take note that it’s not like the wheels are too poor to handle grassy terrain. It’s just that the wheels are too small for that purpose.

Take note that the handlebars are built to align with the front wheels, which makes it likely that the scooter will tip over with a hard impact on an object. As with most toddler toys, adult supervision is recommended, so this shouldn’t be a problem.  Other than that, the Radio Flyer Scoot 2 Scooter is a great indoor beginner scooter for your toddlers.

The front wheels turn without much effort which makes it easy for kids to make turns around the house and scoot themselves along. It has a limited turning radius that gives the young rider better control of the ride.

Verdict

If you’re looking for a great beginner scooter/ride-on toy for your child to practice with and have fun around the house, this is a great choice for you. The scooter is delivered to the customer in easy-to-assemble pieces so that even a novice customer can easily tell where each part goes. You can even disassemble the scooter with ease and pack it in a suitcase while traveling.

This Mountalk 3 Wheel Scooters for Kids is an affordable, high-quality, stylish toddler scooter that won the Hong Kong & Baby Product Award.

Built with EN and CPC-certified fiberglass and reliable metal parts, the Mountalk has three times the strength of normal plastic which makes it very sturdy and able to support much more weight. The choice of material also means the scooter is super strong and lightweight. This scooter has been proven to support adults, although the recommended load capacity is 55 pounds.

Key Features

The Mountalk 3 Wheel Scooter is fitted with an anti-slip deck that protects young riders from slipping. It comes with polyurethane (PU) wheels that improve its grip on multiple terrains. Compared to plastic or rubber wheels, urethane (PU) wheels have superior impact resistance, while offering excellent durability.

Another thing about PU wheels is that they promote the scooter’s lightweight quality and eliminate noise when riding.

Your Mountalk 3 Wheel Scooter will glide noiselessly around the house and outdoors. It also comes with colorful LED flashing light so your kid can be easily spotted while riding during twilight hours. Plus, the flashing light is a really cool feature for kids to show off to their friends. The flashing light works on self-generated power; batteries are not required.

The Mountalk features a lean-to-steer mechanism that requires the rider to press the right or left handle and lean in that direction. This system, though a bit more complicated than the usual lean-to-steer mechanism in other brands, will deliver a more stable ride as the scooter won’t make turns with every shift of the rider’s weight unless the handle is pressed first.

Safety

The Mountalk 3 Wheel Scooter comes with a two adjustable height option, which allows kids of different heights to comfortably ride the scooter. The scooter’s height can be adjusted between 23.5 inches and 27. 5 inches. This means the scooter grows with your child through ages two to eight years old.

Its dog-shaped front section comes with an anti-collision feature that absorbs shocks from a collision, while the fiberglass material helps resist dents.

The scooter’s handle is fitted with soft, slip-resistant, and comfortable thermoplastic rubber (TPR). There is also a brake pedal with a stainless steel brake pad beneath it which, when pressed, creates strong friction with the wheel.

Verdict

This scooter delivers a smooth and comfortable ride, thanks to the PU wheels, soft handles, and adjustable height. The wheels feature enclosed ABEC-5 bearings to prevent foreign objects from getting in the wheels, which further promote the scooter’s long-lasting quality. Even if your child should fall while riding this scooter, there are no sharp edges or other parts to cause injuries.  

What Is It?

The XJD 2 in 1 Toddler Scooter is a super-stylish 3-wheel kick scooter for boys and girls. It is 2 in 1 in the sense that it comes with a removable seat that gives kids the option of riding the scooter in a sitting or standing position.

The XJD comes with an adjustable height feature. Its handlebars can be adjusted by 24.5, 27, 29.5, and 32 inches to fit kids of different heights and to grow with your child. With the deck being very low to the ground and the 5-inch-wide wheels, this toddler scooter is particularly made for small children.

The size of this scooter is perfect for your toddler whether the seat is mounted or not. It is made for ages two to eight years old and comes with a maximum load capacity of 110 pounds. You can get this scooter in four colors, including pink, red, green, and blue colors.

Key Features

It’s not just the XJD’s handle that can be adjusted. The seat can also be adjusted from 9.5, 10.75, and 12 inches. In this way, children can have a perfect sitting position to enjoy and have more control of their rides.

The three extra-wide PU flashing tires improves the scooter’s sturdiness and improve its stability. The front wheels light up with self-generated colorful light that flashes as kids scoot along.

The PU wheels glide smoothly and noiselessly on smooth surfaces, and they won’t leave skid marks or streaks on your home floor. It also handles well on uneven and bumpy terrain. The wide foot brake gives kids more control of their ride. The wide foot brake ensures that even two-year-olds will have no difficulty accessing it.

Safety

While the manufacturer recommended user’s age for this scooter is two to eight years, we found that the three-point adjustable seat allows even children younger than two to comfortably and safely scoot around on the XJD. The low deck will let the child’s feet grip the ground and make it easy for them to hop on and off the scooter.

This scooter is made with high-density plastic and aluminum alloy that gives it a lightweight and long-lasting quality. It features a lean-to-steer mechanism designed to help kids direct the path of the scooter with their body weight while developing balance and coordination.

Verdict

While the seat of the XJD 2 in 1 Toddler Scooter is adjustable and removable, the seat is still not foldable. This means the seat has to be completely detached from the scooter for kids to ride it while standing. While we think this is totally negligible for most users, go for the Radio Flyer Toddler Ride-on Scoot 2 Scooter if the inability to put the seat away is a deal-breaker for you.

Though the scooter itself is not foldable, the handle can be easily detached from the scooter for easy storage by pressing the two small red buttons at the handle’s bottom. This scooter has many more features to ensure kids have a safe, prolonged, and enjoyable ride.

The SWAGTRON K2 2-in-1 Toddler Scooter comes with two rear wheels, providing additional stability for young riders.

Not only is this scooter’s frame adjustable, but it is also built with durable carbon steel and plastic materials supported by three 7.5-inch sturdy wheels. The SWAGTRON K2 met the US ASTM F963 safety standards.

What Sets It Apart

Let’s face it, scooters are cool, and some kids even prefer them to bicycles. The thing is, even though children as young as 2-years-old can start experimenting with scooters, toddlers are still at a developmental stage where they need to build enough balance and coordination to safely enjoy riding bikes.

Balance bikes are fantastic vehicles that help children build balance and coordination, so, the SWAGTRON K2 2-in-1 Toddler Scooter is here to provide as much fun as possible for kids and parents who agree that scooters are just too cool to be sacrificed on the altar of balance bikes.

Kids can ride this Swagtron scooter in bike mode and kick scooter mode by adjusting the seat. This is done via a simple twist and lock procedure- push in and rotate the metal pegs to 180⁰ until you hear the lock sound.

Verdict

This SWAGTRON K2 2-in-1 Toddler Scooter is perfect for indoor rides. The wheels are made with tough plastic providing a noiseless ride around the house without damaging the floors.

The light weight is not the only thing that makes this scooter easy for two- to five-year-olds to maneuver. It also comes with a lean-to-steer mechanism that allows children to easily turn left and right by simply leaning in the direction they wish to go. Plus, lean-to-steer technology helps kids improve their balance and coordination.

While the stem is anodized to protect against corrosion, wear, and tears, the footplate also features an anti-grip coating that prevents children’s feet from slipping while riding or hopping on and off the scooter.

The handlebar of the Micro Mini Deluxe kickboard can be adjusted from 49cm to 68cm heights. All you have to do is adjust the height and tighten the clamp to keep it steady. This means that the scooter will grow with your child through his or her formative years. The adjustable height function also allows kids to enjoy the scooter at a personalized height that is most comfortable for them.

Safety

The fiberglass-reinforced low-to-the-ground deck plus rear braking system ensures kids have better control of the scooter. As the deck is 2 feet wide, the little rider has enough room for their feet.

Even in the case of a fall, the low deck eliminates the risk of serious injury. This scooter glides smoothly on outdoor terrains and the wheels won’t leave markings on home floors when used indoors.

Verdict

While the Micro Mini Deluxe kickboard comes with a higher price tag, it has all the features of the Mini Original and then some. These include a higher load capacity, longer lasting frame, and a more adjustable T-bar than its predecessors. With 17 inches to 25 inches adjustable height, this model is 1-inch higher than the Mini Original that does not even come with adjustable handlebars.

This GOMO scooter comes with many impressive features, one of which is its unique design.

With the GOMO, the young ones can safely go as fast as the big kids. This model is built as the first scooter for toddlers who are not big enough to safely ride big kids scooters.

The word GOMO is an acronym for Get Out More Often, which is exactly what this scooter is designed to encourage.

This is a well-made scooter with lots of thoughtful and cool features. The Hishine Kids Kick Scooter features an adjustable handlebar that makes it possible for kids of different heights to comfortably ride the scooter. This adjustable height function features a snap-lock design that provides an easy height adjustment of 22 to 30 inches. Not only can this feature allow siblings and friends to share the scooter, but it will also grow with your child.

Key Features

The snap-lock design provides an extra tightening that prevents the adjusted height from loosening. It also prevents kids from adjusting the height themselves without an adult’s help.

The Hishine comes with a lean-to-steer technology, making it easy for kids to make turns by gently leaning their body weight in the direction they wish to go. This technology allows children to learn scooter riding faster.

Cool Appearance

What Is It?

The Voyage Sports Toddler Scooter is a three-wheel scooter for two to seven-year-old boys and girls. While the manufacturer is marketing this scooter as a girls’ scooter, we see no reason why boys can’t or shouldn’t ride one. It comes in pink, blue, and green color choices for customers to choose from.

Key Features

Weighing just 3.5 pounds, this is one of the most lightweight toddler scooters you can buy today. Even so, the scooter is strong and can support up to 80 pounds of weight. Voyage Sports built this scooter with eco-friendly material.

The frame is made of durable but lightweight aluminum steel. It comes with a T-bar with height that can be adjusted to three levels, allowing the scooter to grow with the child and to fit kids of various heights.

The scooter’s low deck and adjustable handlebar improves its stability and ensures that kids have a perfect riding position. Plus, a low-to-the-ground deck makes it easier for children to hop on and off the scooter. The deck is wide enough to accommodate both of your child’s feet at the same time, and the rear brake makes it easy for the young rider to stop when they want.

Unfortunately, the Voyage Sports Toddler Scooter does not have the cherished lean-to-steer feature that allows children to easily learn balance and coordination. It instead automatically pulls the handlebar back to its original position after turning.

Safety

Compared to plastic wheels, polyurethane (PU) wheels offer better durability, smoother rides, lightweight, and impact resistance. The Voyage Sports Toddler Scooter features polyurethane wheels with multicolor LED lights that flash in the dark.

The wheels come with ABEC-7 bearings that promote its quiet glide across smooth surfaces. The flashing lights do not require batteries. Its power is self-generated as the wheels turn.

Verdict

With two wheels in front and one wheel in the rear, the scooter has better stability, allowing young learners to safely ride and develop confidence.Once the scooter is delivered to you, you can assemble it in a matter of seconds using the included Allen wrench.

The Micro Kickboard – Mini 3in1 Deluxe is a 3-stage ride-on by Micro Kickboards. That’s the same company that made the Micro Mini Deluxe kickboard. The “Micro” has an interesting history.

The Swiss founder designed his first foldable scooter and said he needed it to travel to “micro distances”, meaning a distance that is too short for a car but too far to walk. That’s how the kickboard got its name, and they have been making fantastic kickboards for all ages since 1999.

This is a three-wheel scooter with two wheels in front and one at the rear. As the name implies, it is a 3-stage scooter, meaning that it comes with a removable seat so that kids can sit and prop their feet on the footrests and hold onto the O-bar while their parents push them from behind via a push bar.

At the next stage, kids can seat and scoot themselves along with their feet while holding onto the handlebar. At the third stage, the seat can be detached to allow the now confident rider to stand and scoot themselves along.

This 3-stage design ensures kids as young as 12-month-old can safely enjoy their Micro Kickboard up until they are around five years old. The scooter comes in five different colors for shoppers to choose from, including aqua, blue, pink, purple, and red.

Key Features

Since a one-year-old who would be pushed along by an adult generally weighs less than a toddler, the seat can support weights of up to 44 pounds, while the scooter can support up to 75 pounds of weight.

This scooter truly grows with your child, and it’s a bonus that you can get it for your one-year-old and never have to buy a replacement for the next four years. Naturally, you want to ask if the scooter is durable enough to last that long.

This brand is an award-winning line known for its long-lasting quality. The scooter is strong and lightweight. Although you get a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty and replaceable parts, this scooter can last a lifetime so your child can pass it on to siblings.

The Micro Kickboard – Mini 3in1 Deluxe is not delivered to the customer pre-assembled, but only minimal assembly is required. All you have to do is attach the seat to the scooter using the included Allen key.

Safety

Not only can you adjust the T-bar to accommodate your child’s growing height, the push bar, and the seat can also be adjusted to make sure kids get their perfect and most comfortable riding position.

This scooter glides smoothly and quietly on different terrains which are to be expected of the Micro Kickboard brand. You can feel the scooter’s sturdiness as you push your little kid along.

While the wheels handle well on driveways and bumpy roads, the low-to-the-ground deck could cause frequent scraps and friction when used on such uneven terrain. But by the time your toddler is pushing the scooter with their feet, they will find that the handle turns well although it requires skill to make sharp turns.

Verdict

The first-ever Micro kickboard was foldable. Unfortunately, this one is not. But weighing just 4.2 pounds, it is lightweight enough to be carried or lifted in a car.  It has no sharp edges and features a stable upright design. The quiet, smooth-gliding, non-marking wheels are perfect for both indoors and outdoor use.
