When it comes to kids getting around and enjoying a sense of freedom, few things match the thrill and ease of movement that scooters offer. For the young ones in your family, 3-wheel scooters are a fantastic option to introduce them to the world of scootering...
They provide essential support as kids get used to riding their scooters around the backyard and neighbourhoods. Learn all about these playful means of transport below and why they’re such a great choice for toddlers and young children alike.
Australia is honestly a fantastic place for kids who love to adventure and explore their local surroundings. Our sun-kissed weather and largely moderate winters mean kids can get out with their parents for a ride year-round.
Given the ideal setting, it’s no surprise that there are many options to choose from.
3-wheel scooters are the equivalent of training wheels on a bike. They’re designed for young kids who are in the early stages of learning to ride a scooter.
They offer heightened support and stability through the inclusion of an additional wheel at either the front or back of the scooter’s base (two wheels in front, one at the back; or one wheel in front, two at the back).
It’s no secret that young kids love to move. It’s one of the many reasons we have to keep such a close eye on them. Turn your gaze for a second, and they can already be 10 metres away, running off in the opposite direction!
That’s why physical activity that leverages their seemingly endless aerobic energy is so beneficial - it offers them a healthy outlet that gets their bodies moving and allows them to more freely explore the world with you. But the benefits of scootering don’t stop there.
On the physical health and development front, riding a scooter can naturally help kids with:
Balance and coordination
Motor skills
Muscle development (particularly leg muscle strength and core strength)
Going out and riding also helps them develop on a social and intellectual level. They can:
Learn more about safety
Engage in more outdoor play
Socialise more with family, friends, and neighbourhood children
Develop a great sense of independence and self-determination
Improve their spatial awareness
Finally, another thing that makes scootering a great physical activity for kids is that the motor skills, balance, and coordination they develop will make it easier for them to learn how to ride a bike.
We stock a diverse range of 3-wheel scooters for kids, ensuring you can find one that is the perfect fit for your little ones.
Not only do we stock space-saving and adjustable 3-wheel scooters for kids of various ages and heights, but we also have 3-in-1 scooters that include an attachable seat so young toddlers can safely adventure out with you.
The standard 3-wheel scooters we sell are well-suited for kids aged between 3 and 10 years, while the 3-in-1 scooters can be used by toddlers as young as 15 months
For the 3-in-1 scooters, the three settings offered are as follows:
Ride-on: this is suited for toddlers between the ages of 15 and 36 months. The ride-on allows them to sit while their parent or guardian pushes them around with an attached T-bar handle.
Walking bike: this is suited to toddlers within the same age range (15 to 36 months) who are ready to move themselves around. The T-bar handle can be removed and kids can safely use their feet to move them forward and backward while using a smaller handle to turn left and right.
Toddler scooter: for toddlers and young children between 3 and 9 years of age, this is a full 3-wheel scooter experience. The T-bar handle is affixed to the front and can be adjusted according to your kid’s height.
At Plum Play, we sell Globber scooters. Globber is an internationally renowned and multi-award-winning manufacturer of scooters, with a particular focus on kids’ scooters.
Their scooters are designed with safety and ease of use in mind, utilising patented technology such as their steering lock system.
This system allows you to lock the front wheels of the scooter so that they can only move forward and backward. It helps young kids practise and develop their balancing skills before they’re ready to ride unrestrained. Once they’ve developed enough balance and coordination, the steering lock can be disengaged for freer directional movement.
Globber also places a focus on being environmentally conscious. Their ECOLOGIC range is made from 60% to 100% Global Recycled Standard (GRS) plastics, and they intend to bring their entire range (not just ECOLOGIC) to 100% GRS plastics. Any product denoted as 100% GRS plastic means the product’s plastic components are built entirely from recycled plastics, meaning less waste going out into the environment.
Plum Play is committed to manufacturing and selling products that have a minimal environmental impact, and Globber’s range of award-winning 3-wheel scooters cater to this commitment.
Most importantly to young ones, they’re just fantastic scooters that open a whole new world of adventures.
