In the article we will talk about the pros and cons of children's gyro scooters, give some useful advice on choosing and review popular models.
Advantages and disadvantages
Many children dream of getting a gyro scooter as a gift for their birthday or other holiday, which is not surprising, because this device has a lot of advantages. First of all, it should be noted the incredible feeling of delight that girls and boys get while riding such an interesting unit. He immediately attracts the attention of others, especially peers. Segway will be an excellent acquisition for insecure children, it will give them courage and attract new acquaintances to them, the game with whom will soon be able to develop into friendship.
When operating this device, children develop the vestibular apparatus and coordination of movements. Segways allow the child to spend significantly more time walking, instead of sitting at a computer or tablet. A family walk in the park can last more than one hour, because even children 5-6 years old will be able to master the device and walk on the street with pleasure.
Unfortunately, riding a segway also has its drawbacks. First of all, mention should be made of the possible danger when riding. A child who has not yet fully mastered the product may fall and be seriously injured. That's why be sure to purchase knee pads, elbow pads and a helmet for your baby. They can help out at the right time.
It is also necessary to find an adult next to the baby in the first weeks of skiing. Only when you are sure that the child is skating well can you let go a little further.
How to choose?
When buying a gyro scooter for children from 5 years old, it is recommended to focus on some details that will help you make the right choice. First of all, you should pay attention to the size. It is better for kids to take products with wheels with a diameter of 5-9 inches and a load capacity of 20-75 kg. Such products are lighter, which will help the child to independently carry the product from the elevator to the car or yard. Learning is faster and easier on smaller devices.
Children's hoverboards have the ability to synchronize with the phone, which is important for parents, as they will be able to remotely control the device and regulate the ride. Many manufacturers have their own applications that help perform several functions at once:
- have the ability to independently turn on and off the segway;
- show faults and identify breakdowns, which will prevent problems during the trip and make it easier for repairmen to work;
- regulate the speed of the trip, which is important for parents of little extreme sports;
- monitor the current power, signal level and temperature of the control panel;
- make it possible to set a speed limiter.
Pay attention to the presence of bright diode backlighting. It not only makes the product more attractive and original, but also ensures safety during a trip in the evening.
For active children, it is recommended to purchase models made of special shock-resistant plastic, which will increase the operating life of the device and protect against dirt and small stones. An important point is the availability of protection against dust and moisture at least IP66. To increase the operating life of the device, it is recommended to purchase a silicone case, which will prevent the appearance of chips and scratches.
