Best Scooters for Every Age and Skill Level (2025 Reviews & Buyer’s Guide)
As parents, we know that moment when your kid has more energy than the sun and you’re wondering if bedtime is ever going to happen? Yeah… that’s when a scooter becomes your new best friend. These little speed machines are the perfect combo of fun, freedom, and full-body workout (for them, not us, our workout is called coffee).
Whether it’s a wobbly first ride or they’re zipping past yelling “Watch this!” for the 37th time, a good scooter grows with your kid, survives their stunts, and burns off enough energy that maybe, just maybe, they’ll fall asleep on time. And because we know you don’t have hours to scroll through reviews, we’ve rounded up the best scooters for 2025, complete with the features we parents actually care about, like safety, durability, and whether it folds up nicely in the trunk.
Three-Wheel Scooters
Why we love them: Perfect for the “training wheels” stage of scootering. They’re stable, easy to steer, and give little ones the confidence to ride without too many dramatic “I can’t do it!” moments.
Our picks:
Micro Kickboard Mini Deluxe
Lean-to-steer design helps with balance, smooth ride, and adjustable height so it grows with them. Plus, the colors are adorable.
Globber Primo
Adjustable handlebars, sturdy build, and a great price for something that can survive a few “creative” uses.
Radio Flyer My 1st Scooter
Lightweight, budget-friendly, and simple enough for toddlers to master quickly.
Two-Wheel Scooters
Why we love them: The official “big kid” upgrade. They’re faster, sleeker, and make your kid feel like they’ve joined the park’s cool crowd.
Our picks:
Razor A Kick Scooter
The classic. Lightweight, foldable, and nearly indestructible.
Fuzion Cityglide
Bigger wheels for a smoother ride, even on uneven sidewalks.
Micro Sprite
A premium option with adjustable handlebars and top-tier glide.
Trick Scooters
Why we love them: For the fearless ones who will 100% try a trick before asking if it’s safe.
Our picks:
Lucky Prospect Pro
Light but sturdy, built for stunts.
Fuzion X-3 Pro Scooter
Perfect for beginners learning tricks without wrecking their ride on day one.
Envy Colt Series
Durable and stylish, ideal for the scooter-obsessed.
Electric Scooters
Why we love them: Great for older kids (and occasionally “tested” by parents). Adds extra fun to errands and neighborhood rides.
Our picks:
Segway Ninebot eKickScooter
Kid-friendly speed, smooth acceleration, and easy handling.
Razor Power Core E90
Affordable, simple to use, and reliable for everyday rides.
Segway Ninebot Max G30
Technically for adults, but you can “borrow” it guilt-free.
Parent-to-Parent Bottom Line
A scooter is more than just wheels, it’s independence, exercise, and our secret weapon for burning off energy before bedtime. Pick one that’s safe, sturdy, and fun enough to keep them riding for years.
And for the days when outdoor adventures just aren’t happening? Roll out Poppyseed Play’s wooden balance beam and watch the magic happen. It’s the perfect indoor setup for climbing, balancing, and pretending the living room is their personal obstacle course. They’ll be giggling, we’ll be sipping coffee, and everyone’s happy (and maybe even a little tired by bedtime).
Because parenting is all about balance… theirs on the scooter, and ours with caffeine.
