Five Cool Kickboards for Preschoolers

The iTrike three-wheel scooter is a cohort of inexpensive kickboards designed for little users. Moreover, a tandem of an aluminium frame and a plastic deck must withstand children of different builds (permissible load up to 50 kg).

iTrike BB3-013-4 is available in various colors including yellow, green, blue, red, etc. Another feature of the design of the model will be luminous wheels(front). This feature will appeal to young “riders” and will increase the visibility of the kickboard in low visibility conditions.

The kickboard received a classic steering wheel on a vertical stand with a horizontal crossbar, which should not be turned, but tilted to the left or right to turn. Three points of support increase the overall stability of the scooter, and the child will quickly learn to keep balance.

The pair of front wheels has a diameter of 12 cm, and the rear one, supplemented by a foot brake, is 8 cm. They are made of polyurethane, so you can count on good grip, overall durability and a low level of noise when driving (although they still give some noise on bumps). know yourself).

Like most kickboards, the model provides for the ability to adjust the height of the steering wheel in three positions from 58 to 72 cm. Accordingly, as the child grows older, you can choose the optimal position for him. Such a function will be useful for parents of the weather.

It should be borne in mind that the maximum height of the steering wheel is small, which means that by the age of 5 the child will “outgrow” this transport. If this does not suit you, then you should take a closer look at a related version with a slightly larger headroom - iTrike JR 3-055.

iTrike BB3-013-4 deserves the attention of those who are looking for a low-cost kickboard for the role of the first children's transport.

In Globber's branded Primo line, the kickboard is positioned as an intermediate link in the middle price segment. So, against the background of the younger version of Globber Primo, the model is distinguished by the presence of illuminated front wheels and a stylish sticker on the deck, but slightly inferior to Primo Plus in terms of the variability of steering wheel height adjustments (3, not 4 positions, respectively).

The adjustment range from 68 to 78 cm in practice is usually enough for several years, and the manufacturer himself claims that Globber Primo Fantasy is suitable for preschoolers from 3 to 6 years old.

One of the kickboard chips is the steering lock button, patented by the manufacturer, located in front of the case. When activated, the scooter will only move forward and backward, and the child will not be able to turn. This option is designed to help the youngest drivers learn how to balance, avoid unwanted falls, and only then move on to mastering the turns.

The steel frame and deck of the kickboard are ready to withstand loads up to 50 kg. At the same time, the model is very light (2.2 kg), which makes it stand out from many competitors. Polyurethane wheels complement the entry-level ABEC 5 bearings. They are more than enough for the youngest users, because they still do not need tricks and strong acceleration.

Some users attribute the unreliable decorative sticker on the deck to the shortcomings of the model: over time, it peels off, and getting wet can speed up this process. But without it, by the way, the platform becomes not slippery at all.

Globber Primo Fantasy is an interesting kickboard with good value for money.

Known for its strollers, the Babyhit brand also produces other children's vehicles. So, the three-wheeled Rocket Scooter is intended for children over 3 years old, and the telescopic steering column provided here easily rises higher as the rider grows up.

On the handlebars there are rubberized soft grips that will not slip out of the hands of the child. The deck is made of plastic, painted in different colors, including black, blue or red.

The front wheels of the Babyhit Rocket Scooter are equipped with LED lighting that activates while the kickboard is in motion. But even more original and expressive special effects are provided by the turbines located in the rear of the housing.

They transform the scooter by themselves, and powered by a 3.7V lithium battery, they can mimic the operation of a rocket jet engine. By pressing a button on the platform, a sound resembling the roar of an engine is turned on, and red steam escapes from the turbines. Such an "accompaniment" will not leave indifferent the owner and all the kids on the street. And especially effectively working turbines will look in the dark.

The kickboard has a practical folding design and is well thought out in terms of side fall protection. So, there is a very wide rear wheel. Contributes to stability and a large weight of 4.2 kg. But it will be burdensome for children and even fragile mothers to drag it. And because of the turbines in the back, it can be inconvenient to use the foot brake, for example, if the child has wide shoes.

But in any case, Babyhit Rocket Scooter is a transport that stands out among other 3-wheeled scooters and will surely interest any little boy.

The kickboard of the manufacturer Micro, which specializes in scooters, is designed for children from 2 to 5 years old. The model differs from the basic version of the Micro Mini by the ability to adjust the height of the steering wheel in a wide range from 48 to 68 cm.

The scooter also differs from the Micro Mini Deluxe : the presence of the LED add-on in the name is explained by the presence of LED wheel lighting.

The base of the kickboard is made of durable plastic reinforced with fiberglass. As a result, the model weighs only 2 kg, but is ready to “roll on itself” up to 50 kg. The frame is complemented by an aluminium steering rack with a durable tilt-and-swivel mechanism, polyurethane wheels and high-quality ABEC 9 bearings, which are often put on cool stunt scooters.

The manufacturer's official warranty is 2 years. And the safety of the materials used in the manufacture of the scooter is confirmed by independent tests and the conclusion of the authoritative international organization TÜV.

Due to the small maximum height of the steering wheel, upon reaching the age of 5, the user will have to transfer to another vehicle, for example, branded Maxi Deluxe. But still, there are all the prerequisites for the Micro Mini Deluxe LED to have more than one owner: scooters of this brand are often inherited by younger brothers / sisters or successfully resold.

The advanced model represents Globber's older line of Elite kickboards. It is notable for the presence of a proprietary elliptical folding system. The steering column turns to the deck at the touch of a button, which will allow you to quickly start direct operation of the scooter when you go outside.

Another important feature of the Globber Elite Deluxe is the 4-level steering wheel height adjustment in an extended range from 69 to 84 cm. The permissible weight load on the model is 50 kg.

The kickboard received polyurethane wheels of typical sizes (diameter 12 cm at the front and 8 at the rear) and ABEC 5 bearings familiar to this age group. The total weight of the vehicle is 3 kg, but given the declared extended age group, this should not be scary.

Like lower models, like the Globber Primo Fantasy, it has the ability to lock the steering wheel, which will be useful for novice riders. "Wow-effect" they should also cause the backlight of the wheels.

Other nice equipment details include updated grips on the steering wheel, which contribute to a comfortable grip, as well as a moderately wide platform (12 cm) with an abundance of anti-slip inserts.

The disadvantages of the Globber Elite Deluxe include a high price compared to most analogues, but it is fully consistent with the brand's reputation, the declared functions and the premium status of a 3-wheeled scooter.
