These days of progress and self-development, practicality, functionality and compactness are appreciated. Perhaps it was these parameters that became significant in prioritizing. The reality is that it is today on the streets that you can increasingly see not only children, but also adults on scooters. For children, this is an excellent means of developing certain skills and abilities, and for adults it is a good means of transportation within walking distance.
As for the choice of scooters, no one is experiencing a shortage in this case today, as shops are full of various options for every taste and budget. But at the same time, the average buyer, according to sellers, opts for the 21St Scooter product line.
Features and device
Scooter series scooters - this is the case when the price matches the quality. And to be more precise, the manufacturer (China) offers a rather interesting model range for a relatively low price, the duration of operation of which depends on several components. It:
- roadway quality;
- respect for the device;
- An equally important factor is a correctly selected scooter model for specific user requirements.
To ensure that the child is protected and comfortable while riding, it is important to choose the right scooter. For more dexterous children, the manufacturer has developed a product line with a rotary steering mechanism, which allows to improve existing skills (coordination of movements, ability to maintain balance).
Children's devices with a fixed wheel, on the handle of which a brake can also be located, are intended for beginners who are just beginning to get acquainted with the scooter, as this ensures safe braking at fast speed. Of course, one cannot call the device of increased danger models with a brake on the rear wheel, but braking of this type requires a certain skill from the user. The difficulty is that here you need to try not only to slow down, but also to maintain balance, especially since the rear brake is mainly on two-wheeled scooters.
The 21St Scooter Series has a range of spring-loaded models for good cushioning. This is essential both for children's models and for scooters designed for older people.
The spring allows you to significantly improve the quality of driving, even on the “off-road”.
The lineup
As already noted, the lineup is represented by devices capable of satisfying a wide range of requests of the most demanding customer. This and convenient transportation, and moments associated with ride quality. The manufacturer took care of consumers of different age groups, as the products are designed for children from 1 to 14 years old.
To be more precise, 21St Scooter products are primarily differentiated by age:
- from 1.5 to 5 years;
- from 3 to 8;
- from 1 to 5;
- from 4 to 9.
Some age categories overlap, but vary directly by the device itself. For example, for more agile children 5 years old, it is recommended to buy a model from 3 to 8 than for 1.5-5, since the second option is mainly aimed at younger children, as evidenced by the first figure (1.5). As for children from 1 to 3 years old, who are only getting acquainted with the technique, it is recommended that parents pay attention to options 3 in 1 or 5 in 1.
A 3 in 1 product is a scooter, a runbike or a wheelchair with a control handle. The technique is attractive in that it is oriented to the future. One-year-old children who are unable to control on their own can be rolled by adjusting the device with a handle designed for adults.
Children from 2 to 3 years old can use the technique as a runbike (a removable seat is included) or a scooter.
Scooters 5 in 1 are the same transformers as 3 in 1, only their transformation is presented somewhat wider. It can be a folding mechanism of the device, simplifying storage and operation; this is a mechanism that allows the child to change the height of the steering wheel as the child grows up. By the way, from 5 in 1 models, adjusting the handle height correctly, you can make good walkers.
For young children just starting out with scooters, released A series of convenient and safe tricycles of the Mini collection. Here you can find both standard models and colorful ones with luminous wheels. As for the variation of the girl-boy, it is reflected mainly in the color scheme. For girls, pink scooters are more often bought, and for boys, from blue to green, which is considered by the manufacturer.
Starting from about five years of age, according to sellers, parents are less likely to pay attention to the color of the device, focusing more and more on the components of the scooter itself (brake location, wheel size and their material of manufacture). In such cases, you should already pay attention to the model range of two-wheeled scooters Maxi. This series is many times wider and more diverse than the Mini, as the consumer is not only getting older, but also has various skills and abilities. Some are focused directly on the ride, its quality and speed, while others are only trying themselves in this area.
It is worth noting that scooters designed for consumers up to 5 years old can have both 2 and 3 wheels. In three-wheeled models, 2 wheels are presented in front and one in the rear, which provides greater stability.
More often the rear wheel is several times smaller than the two front wheels, this ensures stability with relatively fast driving and good control due to the front wheels.
Selection recommendations
With a wide range of models, the choice of a scooter directly depends not only on the age of the child and his body weight, but is also associated with the abilities of the baby. Having selected a model corresponding to the user's weight category, one should analyze his physical fitness. For example, for dexterous children with good coordination of movements, it is more advisable to buy a more “adult” model, which will contribute to the best development of existing qualities.
This may be the mobility of the steering wheel, which not only contributes to independent control, but also develops mental abilities. This is the brake system located on the rear wheel, requiring a certain skill from the child. This is the size of the wheels (large wheels provide the fastest ride).
For beginners in this industry should choose a model that provides primarily safety and ease of management. These are the brakes located on the steering wheel. These are the most stable 3 wheels. For very young lovers, you can watch the model with a fixed wheel, which also eliminates the fall.
In both the first and second cases, it is recommended to pay attention to models of folding scooters that do not take up much space in the apartment and do not cause trouble, for example, when transporting on a bus or while climbing to any floor (which will be especially relevant for mothers walking, for example, with two young children).
