It would seem that if the baby was only a few years old, what kind of riding a scooter can we talk about? However, the embodiment of modern design solutions in the production of children's two-wheeled vehicles makes this desire a reality. It is for the smallest and most curious that a scooter with a seat is designed.
What are seat models?
Children's scooters of this type differ little from the standard two-wheeled wheelchairs familiar to all of us with a platform for legs. The main feature is the presence of a seat, which makes it possible for kids to enjoy skiing, which, in fact, have not yet learned to walk.
A scooter with a seat is an excellent tool for the development of coordination of movements of the child. Some parents use these models as an alternative to a stroller.
Today, consumers also have access to an electric scooter with a seat. Such a vehicle can be used for riding children of all age categories. In fact, electric models are a kind of children's scooters, which are often used by adults for entertainment.
How to choose a scooter by height?
The main parameter when choosing a two-wheeled
children's wheelchair is the level of the height of the steering wheel. The baby's hands should lie on the handles of the scooter with slightly bent elbows, and the posture should remain straight. Such a fit allows you to form an anatomically correct bend of the back.
A scooter should be selected so that the child's hands hold the steering wheel in a position no higher than the chest. The baby in no case should not reach up to the arms, overworking the muscles.
Scooter weight
Obviously, with little weight data for the baby, buying a heavy scooter looks irrational. The child will not be able to cope with management, and even more so by independent transportation of such a gurney. Therefore, the acquired model should always weigh less than a child.
Glider scooter with seat
At the moment, the Y Bike Glider Seat model is considered the most advanced children's scooter with a seat. Designed for the youngest users, it acts as an effective tool for the development of child physics.
As in other common models, the seat here is attached to the steering column and can change its position thanks to special mounts located on separate levels. The implementation of this solution does not force parents to choose a scooter with a seat for various sizes. If desired, the seat can be completely removed from the two-wheeled wheelchair.
Recent modifications of the Glider scooter have massive wheels that increase the stability of the model. The rear axle contains a foot brake, with which parents can sharply stop the scooter as soon as necessary.
How much does such a scooter cost? The price of the Y Bike Glider Seat model in the Russian market starts from 4000 rubles.
Advantages and disadvantages
What are the benefits of a scooter with a seat? The obvious advantage of such models is the increased level of safety during operation. Designs with a seat are an excellent option for the development of muscle mass and coordination of movements in moving kids who are just learning to walk.
Among other things, a model with a seat can always be transformed into a regular scooter. Therefore, such a gurney can bring pleasure to a child for many years.
As for the design flaws with the seat, a comparatively high cost and rather impressive dimensions can be noted here. The latter feature is reflected in the convenience of storage.
Eventually
Scooters with a seat are ideal for the smallest riders who are uncertainly standing on their feet. Yes, and for parents, such models are an extremely practical means of transportation, on which you can ride your own child, avoiding the use of a bored stroller.
In older children, the seat may cause some discomfort, especially if the scooter is used for a long ride. In this case, the foot area becomes too cramped.
In general, the seat is a rather specific component for a scooter. Therefore, when choosing a specific two-wheeled wheelchair model, parents should weigh the pros and cons of such a decision.
