9 Scooters That Will Have You Cruising the Neighborhood

Best Scooter That Ages Well: Razor A Scooter

Razor was the first to market in 2000 (maybe you even had one back in the day) and they've managed to stay a step (or a scoot ahead) of the competition throughout the years. Why? The scooter is aluminum, which makes it lightweight, yet durable. Handlebars can be adjusted easily, and while there's no assembly required when you open the box, the scooter does fold down for quick and easy carry and storage. 

For ages 5+

For Blues Clues Fans: Blues Clues Swinging Blue Scooter

We love this too cute scooter that comes with three wheels for extra stability. As the child leans each direction, the scooter and Blue lean with the rider making the scooter a fun and interactive toy for children ages 3-7 years old.

Best Scooter for Toddlers and Beginners: Micro Kickboard Original

For those first learning to balance and ride on wheels, we suggest the original Micro Kickboard (tried and tested by our Editorial Director's toddler son who picked it up after just a handful of outings). We were impressed with the scooter's engineering: it's stable and easy to balance on without feeling flimsy, simple to steer and tough as nails (or as Mico Kickboard says, they're "virtually indestructible" and we'd have to agree). The design and quality of the scooter means it'll still be in great condition year after year, which is the type of product we love investing in.

For kids ages 2 to 5 years.

Best Convertible Scooter: Swagtron 4-In-1 Scooter & Trike

It's a scooter! It's a bike! It's  . . . both! Swagtron's K6 4-in-1 scooter has a simple-to-use modular design capable of switching between two- and three-wheeled versions of both a balance bike and stand-up kick scooter. It's perfect for growing with kids as their balance and skills increase. With the simple click of a button, the seat of the balance bike rotates to become the deck of a stand-up scooter. Use two rear wheels in either mode for greater stability or swap out for a single wheel. The single wheel features a heel brake for use in scooter mode, just like the big kids. 

For kids ages 2 to 5 years.

East to Control: Mongoose Expo

The Amazon reviews speak for themselves but the key element to this scooter is the big air-filled tires which provide some natural suspension to ride over multiple terrain options. The scooter also comes standard with hand brakes which are an added convenience not typically seen on standard kick scooters.

Best Scooter That Even Parents Love: Svolta

When SVOLTA designed their scooters, they essentially made scooters they (adults) wanted to ride, but in kid sizes. They opted for premium materials, so the construction is solid and sturdy. The scooters ride smoothly and have a variety of added style details like matte satin finishes, champagne gold accents and lightning bolt patterns. They've got different scooters for little ones (the 2-in-1 sit and stand convertible), toddlers (3-wheel kick scooter) and bigger kids (2-wheel kick scooter) so you'll be able to find something that works for you. 

For kids ages 2 and up
