9 Best Scooters for Kids [Tested and Reviewed]

The Jupiter Mini 3-Wheel Light Up Scooter from Jetson Electric Bikes is designed for kids aged 3 and up and stands out for its durable frame construction.

Thanks to its flat-shaped tires, this scooter offers smooth and stable rides even on uneven roads. The anti-slip deck ensures a firm grip and reduces the risk of slipping. Additionally, its one-touch folding capability makes it compact and easy to carry with just one hand. The scooter's handle height features three adjustable settings so that your child can continue to use it as they grow.

However, it's worth noting that the scooter weighs 7.05 pounds, which may be a bit heavy for young children to carry on their own, requiring the help of a parent or nearby adult.

Overall, it's a top choice for kids, providing a smooth and stable riding experience for beginners while remaining conveniently portable.

Skidee's Y200 Kick Scooters for Kids is suitable for children aged two and up and offers the option to use it with or without the included seat.

Thanks to its flat-shaped tires, this scooter provides stability even on uneven roads. The round stopper at the end of the handle reduces the risk of hand slippage. Additionally, the handle's height can be adjusted in three stages, ensuring continued use as your child grows.

However, it's important to note that the deck lacks an anti-slip coating, which may increase the risk of slipping. This scooter is recommended for those who prefer to start by using it while seated and gradually transition to standing.

The Mini Deluxe LED by Micro Mobility Systems is designed for children aged two and up, and features a lower deck height, which is perfect for kids trying out riding for the first time.

This scooter boasts a round stopper on the end of the handle that prevents small hands from accidentally slipping, as well as adjustable handlebar height for long-term use.

This scooter features light-up LED tires that run without batteries—great for parents and exciting for children. However, be wary of the uneven deck surface, which can be slippery.

The K5 Three-Wheel Scooter for Kids from SWAGTRON is perfect for toddlers with robust durability with scratch-resistant materials. Its rubber round stopper on the handle ensures a secure grip, even if your little one gets a bit enthusiastic. Weighing just 5.07 pounds, it's incredibly lightweight, making it easy for kids to carry. Plus, the adjustable handles feature four settings so that this scooter can grow with your child. This scooter is a great choice when you want a scooter that can be shared among siblings.

However, bear in mind that the deck has some irregularities that may lead to slipping, especially during fast rides. The round tire shape might also make it less suitable for rough terrain.

LaScoota's Sit N' Scoot is designed for kids aged three and up with the ability to ride while seated — great for kids who may quickly lose interest.

The handle features a round stopper that prevents accidental slips, and its rubber material provides a secure grip. However, the plastic surface of the deck is a bit slippery and uneven, which could lead to feet slipping during operation. Additionally, the round tires may result in a bumpy ride on rough roads. It's worth noting that this scooter can't be folded, so disassembling the handle and deck is necessary for transportation.

This scooter is great for kids who are still working on their balance, especially if you're looking for one with a seated option.

Kicksy's Kids Scooter is designed for children aged two and up, featuring an aluminum handlebar that's lightweight and easy to carry. The handle itself is made of rubber material and includes a round stopper at the end to prevent children's hands from slipping. Plus, the handle height features three adjustable profiles that allow the scooter to grow with your child.

However, the deck surface is made of bumpy plastic, which is prone to slipping. This scooter’s round tires are not well suited to high speeds and curves and may leave children feeling unsteady while riding. To get the best use out of this scooter, we recommend it for children with a strong grip.

The HALO jr. 3 Wheel Scooter from HALO Rise Above is designed for children aged two and up and includes a blue helmet, which is a nice bonus at this low price point. Round stoppers on the end of the handles provide a secure grip for children. And it’s lightweight to boot, weighing only 3.74 pounds.

However, a drawback is the inability to adjust the handle's height, which, down the road, will force children into awkward postures as they grow taller. This scooter may not be suitable for long-term use, requiring replacement as your child grows. The deck surface is almost entirely smooth, which makes for a slippery ride, especially at fast speeds. Consider testing whether your child can handle it before purchase.

The Highwaykick 1 by Scoot & Ride is designed for children as young as one year old, offering two riding modes with its handlebar that doubles as a seat for added versatility. However, the handle's round stopper, made of plastic, can be slippery, so we recommend purchasing a separate non-slip grip for better control, which can be a solid downside at this price point.

One drawback is the fixed handle height, which doesn’t suit growing children well nor make great use for households with multiple children. The uneven deck surface also poses a risk of foot slipping during use. Additionally, the scooter cannot be folded and requires the handle to first be removed if you’re looking for compact storage. We recommend starting with a floor chair to get accustomed to the scooter.

The My 1st Scooter Sport by Radio Flyer is designed for children aged two and up, featuring a larger deck for easy foot placement. With a weight of only 4.51 pounds, it's lightweight enough for a child to carry with ease. However, it's important to note that the scooter cannot be folded, so removing the handle before transporting is recommended.

On the downside, the deck surface is nearly flat with minimal textured processing, increasing the risk of slipping if not stepped on firmly while in motion. The handle lacks a round stopper, which may lead to hand slippage, especially if the grip is weak. The handle height is also not adjustable, which limits its long-term usefulness.

For children starting to use it at the age of two or three, close supervision is advised to prevent tipping over during use.
