Get your kid the best Globber scooter!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><p>Are you browsing for the perfect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globber.com\/ca\/46\">kids\u2019 scooter<\/a> for your child\u2019s summer break, and are stuck choosing between a 2-wheel or 3-wheel scooter? Find out the key differences between 2-wheel scooters vs 3-wheel scooters before deciding which summer ride to get for your kid!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Balancing &amp; Turning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If balancing skills are not a problem for your child, then it\u2019s best to purchase a 2-wheel scooter vs a 3-wheel scooter. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globber.com\/ca\/169\">3-wheel scooters<\/a> are great stabilisers for kids who are still developing their balancing skills, thanks to the scooter\u2019s two front wheels. Kids can take their time to learn how to balance on a scooter and gain confidence in riding, all while having some good summer fun! Meanwhile, kids who can balance well can go straight for 2-wheel kick scooters!<\/p>\n<p>Turning preference also plays a part when deciding whether to get a 2-wheel vs 3-wheel scooter. 3-wheel scooters usually have lean-to-steer mode for turning, which means riders need to lean towards the direction they\u2019re going in order to make a turn. 2-wheel kick scooters, on the other hand, can be turned using the scooter handlebars similar to a bicycle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Age of the rider<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Considering your kid\u2019s age is important when choosing between a 2-wheel vs a 3-wheel scooter. It\u2019s advisable for younger kids to start on 3-wheel scooters to develop confidence in riding and good balancing skills\u2014 3-wheel scooters also offer more stable rides. Once children grow older and feel more comfortable riding their 3-wheel scooters, they can then transition to 2-wheel kick scooters that they can easily adjust and ride the scooter without any problem balancing themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Product Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Selecting 3-wheel or 2-wheel scooters based on product design is also a good way to gauge which kick scooter is most suitable for your kid. 3-wheel kick scooters usually have lower deck heights than most 2-wheel scooters, which means they are easier for kids to safely balance themselves on the kick scooter. A wide scooter deck is also a key criteria to check out on 3-wheel scooters; the wider the scooter deck, the easier kids can place their two feet on the scooter deck while riding.<\/p>\n<p>Made up your mind on whether to get a 3-wheel or 2-wheel scooter for your kid?
