When it comes to choosing a safe scooter for little kids, three-wheel scooters are much easier for smaller children to steer. The two wheels at the front create more stability and the straighter handlebars offer a firmer grip, while the slightly wider front end of the foot deck also provides more space for them to keep a steady footing.
These features combined ensure that little ones can enjoy the exhilarating freedom of riding a scooter, without you having to worry about them losing control of the handles and crashing into things! Our 3-wheel scooters for sale at Wicken Toys are just the ticket for younger children who are getting to grips with how to ride a scooter safely.
Three-wheel folding scooters
Traditional scooters have two wheels and steer by turning the handles like a bike, but children from toddler age and up who are still developing their balance and motor skills may not be able to do this without risking sharp and sudden turns that could cause them to fall. A three-wheel scooter avoids this issue by incorporating a lean-to-steer design.
This allows kids to explore their scootering abilities with confidence, staying upright easily and learning to kick, glide, and lean for smooth steering. The best part is that several models – including the BERG Nexo and Mini Micro Scooter – have adjustable-height handlebar stems, so their safe scooter can grow with them from 2 years old to 5 plus.
Foldable versions may be convenient for parents of quick-to-tire little tykes, but several of the 3-wheel folding scooters we have at Wicken Toys aren’t just for under-fives – the Nexo and Maxi Micro have foldable stems, too, meaning kids up to 12 years old can benefit from the ease of transporting these models.
