The Best Kids Scooters 2011 Top 5 best Selling Scooters For Kids of all ages

Welcome to the "Best Kids Scooters 2011 - Top 5 Best Selling Scooters For Kids of All Ages"

It's always hard to know which are going to be the best kid's scooters when you're just a casual observer trying to get the one that will be the best and safest for your kid, what do you do to find the one that's going to fit the bill?

You could, of course, go out and wade through all of the websites and compare all of the best selling scooters, or, you could have a look below at some of the top kid's scooters of 2010. You may still want to check a little more, even after reading about the best selling kid's scooters, but at least now you'll have a jumping off point.

1) The Mini Kick Scooter

This is first on the list for a good reason; it won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold and the Platinum Award Seals for Best Toy back in 2009. Not only that, it was also the 'Best Pre-School Scooter' (VIEW HERE - MICRO MINI SCOOTER) by Toy Report and 'Best Outdoor Toy' by Learning Express Stores 2009.

Of course, as impressive as that is you'll want to know more, so here goes.

This scooter is ideal for anyone between the ages of 3 and 5 years old, no matter how tempted you may be to try it yourself, and has everything that you need to make this safe as well as fun.

There are three wheels for extra stability and two of those wheels are in the front. The reason for this is the fact that you steer the scooter in the same way as you would a skateboard, and two up front makes this easier for toddlers.

Although this is quite a speedy little scooter there's very little that the toddler can do to get into trouble with it, well, into any more trouble than a toddler can normally do, that is.

Until they learn to manoeuvre it they'll mostly be going in a straight line. There's also a nice and easy to use 'spoon' brake on the back wheel to help them if they do pick up a little bit too much speed.

2) Radio Flyer My 1st Scooter

The second of the best kid's scooters is very similar to the first one, the mini kick Scooter, and it's easy to see why.

If you find a formula that works, and clearly it does based on the awards the other has won, then it's always a good idea to come up with something similar, after all, as the old saying goes, you don't want to reinvent the wheel.

The key differences are the slightly wider standing area of the Radio Flyer My 1st Scooter over the Mini Kick Scooter. The base is also tampered at the back to make it easier for the toddlers to push off as they're zooming along. The Radio Flyer My 1st Scooter has a guard covering the rear wheel, where as the Mini Kick Scooter has its breaking system covering the back wheel.

The Radio Flyer My 1st Scooter also has a collapsible steering column for easier storage.

3) Radio Flyer Little Red Scooter

When you think back to the best kid's scooters of days gone by - I won't say how many - this is the design you're most likely to think of.

Whereas the previous two best selling scooters had two wheels at the front, this has two at the back.

It's of steel construction, more so than the first two, and, unlike the first two, has a wooden platform for the toddler to stand on. All models are designed to be non slip.

This is also the only one of the three top kid's scooters that steers by turning the handle. Some people will, rightly or wrongly, think that this is the way it should be steered, but for some adults the thought that the toddler may suddenly jerk the steering and go flying over the front of the scooter may get them thinking it's a little bit too advanced for a child of 3 to 5 years old.

1) The Mini Kick Scooter

As you can see this is one of the top kid's scooters for younger and slightly older kids; and was voted Hatter toy of the year.

The only thing that can really be added to what was mentioned earlier is the fact that this scooter can hold up to 60lbs.

These are great if you want to use them inside, as the tires are designed to not leave horrible tracks all over the house. Also, for the more safety conscious among you, you'll be happy to hear that they have been designed so that jumps and tricks can't be performed on them, of course, that will also depend on how enterprising your child is.

2) Razor A2 Kick Scooter

The second of the best kid's scooters to look at is the brand that most people, probably, know a bit more about. Is scooter is for kids of 5 and over and has been built with the older child in mind.

It uses a much stronger aluminum frame in its construction, and unlike the scooters for the toddlers, this only has two small wheels. It also holds more than twice the weight of the three scooters designed with toddlers in mind.

Because of its strength and design this scooter can be used to do all of the tricks that the older kids will be doing on the streets; with this in mind it comes equipped with a shock system and spring-less front wheel.

So there we have it; three of the best kid's scooters of 2011.

Before racing out to get a scooter for your child it's always best to take into consideration what it is they need and what's going to suit them the best. In the 'toddler category' there's quite a similarity between all of the models in terms of size and overall design. When it comes to the older kids it really comes down to whether they've managed to progress enough to handle a two wheeled scooter over a three wheeled scooter - and whether you want to make sure they can't do any tricks and jumps.

Whichever you choose, you know you'll be getting one of the best kids scooters available
