The TootScoot is a new smart sturdy balance bike for kids. It's well-built construction, and thoughtful design make playtime fun and safe for kids ages 2-5.
What is a TootScoot?
A TootScoot is a sturdy, yet lightweight bike that is designed for children between the ages of 2 and 5. It has no training wheels or pedals, and is designed with wider than normal wheels to aid children in the process of learning balance and coordination as well as easing them through the sometime traumatic experience of switching to a traditional two wheel bicycle.
What are the advantages of purchasing a TootScoot instead of a tricycle?
By purchasing a TootScoot for your child, rather than a bike with training wheels or a trike, you are enhancing the balance the child already possesses. “If you can walk you can ride!” Training wheels are counterproductive and tend to be nothing more than a crutch for children. Also, they can cause traumatic events when it comes time to remove them. Training wheels can bend and become dangerous as well as stick easily into grooves, underbrush and cracks in sidewalks. TootScoots are easy to maneuver as well as light enough for a child to pick up and carry anywhere to ride.
Is there assembly required?
There is a minimal amount of assembly required, and easy to follow instructions are provided with every TootScoot as well as available online. In ten minutes or less, your child will be enjoying his new TootScoot.
Is the TootScoot easy to use and how long does it take to learn?
The TootScoot is very easy to use! It is ridden just like a foot to floor push toy with kid power fueling it. Kids sit on the seat and scoot themselves along by using their feet, and eventually will coast with their feet in the air, while learning to balance themselves out as they lean from one side to the other. Children will typically walk/ride it the first time or two they use it and then usually coast with their feet up after a few days to a week. Different children learn at different paces.
What is the intended age for the TootScoot?
The TootScoot was designed for children ages 2-5.
Why should I buy my child a TootScoot?
A TootScoot will help your child to gain confidence as well as teach them basic motor skills. Many small children see older children with bikes, and this will give them the opportunity to have one of their own. By designing the TootScoot to look just like the real thing and out of metal rather than wood like some balance bikes, we are avoiding the possibilities of your child ever being told they have a “fake bike.”
