Yes, I let the kids have a scooter… indoors. You may think I'm crazy, but I really wanted them to get the feel for riding in a relatively safe place before I let them loose in the neighborhood.
I will admit that if they were any other children, I wouldn't let them ride indoors. But my kids have a tendency to be overly cautious, which makes learning to ride scooters, bikes, and even trikes an excruciating process. I figured that if I let them ride slowly indoors to get the hang of scooting, that it would make transitioning to outside a whole lot easier.
Plus, it's cute. Right?
This model is, from what I can figure, a Radio Flyer Pro Glider Costco exclusive. It steers amazingly well and rides smooth… indoors or out. You can find a similar scooter on the Radio Flyer site.
My kids will definitely have protective gear {and shoes!} when they are actually moving. These photos were shot at a snails pace, which is the only reason I let it happen.
It definitely is cute! I love that little scooter. Would be great for my son when he gets a little older. For now, he has a ride-on that he likes to roll around on – indoors 🙂
