Four-wheel scooters: what are they and how to choose the best one?

While walking with children, you need to monitor them, because they are very mobile. In order for the child not to get bored, he needs to be enticed with something, to create a hobby for him. Riding a scooter can become such, since this type of transport is understandable to learn and easy to operate. Even such a fairly simple transport has many varieties, among which there are four-wheeled scooters. Today we will look at how they differ from ordinary two-wheeled ones and analyze several models.

Based on the name, it can be understood that the main difference is the presence of four wheels. This structure was created so that the platform has more stability. On a two-wheeled scooter you need to be able to keep your balance, but on a four-wheeled scooter it is not so necessary.

This type of roller skates was created for young children who are not yet able to independently operate a 2-wheel unit, since their coordination of movements is not so well developed. In addition to stability, a plus can be called a large platform. Due to the fact that the wheels are on each side, then the platform mounts are wider.

This positioning of the deck gives the child the opportunity to stand with two feet. This means that the user can take their feet off the ground for rest. Thus, the child will be able to roll by inertia and take short breaks for rest.

Among the disadvantages over other models can be called low maneuverability. While standard scooters can turn immediately after the user has turned the steering wheel, four-wheeled units turn more slowly due to the fact that the resistance of 4 wheels on the ground is greater than that of two. Simply put, the more wheels there are, the harder it is to turn.

Before buying any thing, not just such equipment, you need to be guided by several criteria. It is important that the scooter is suitable for the height. If the steering column is too high, it will be difficult for the child to keep his hands up all the time. Because of this, his brushes may become numb.

There are models with LED wheels and unusual colors. Attractive looks are a big plus, but the main focus should be on performance.
