Why wait until your child is 4 or 5 to teach them how to ride a big kid bike? With a Boot Scoot, even a 2 year old can be a big kid and glide around the neighborhood on two wheels.
Developed for children ages 2-6, the Boot Scoot has no pedals. Instead, children use their own Boots to Scoot themselves along, learning balance as they go. With fun and colorful designs, children can’t wait to ride their Boot Scoot.
Say goodbye to the false confidence of training wheels! Say goodbye to the ache in your back from running beside your child while they scream “Don’t let go!!” With a Boot Scoot, your child will easily and independently discover the balance, agility, and confidence necessary for riding a traditional bicycle. Now you and your young child can go for a bike ride together. Instead of just sitting in a stroller on your morning jog, your child can exercise right alongside you.
Now get outside and ride!
Most children start by walking while straddling their Boot Scoot. When they become more comfortable, they will begin to sit on the seat, push themselves forward, and maintain balance with both feet. As they learn to balance on their own, they will begin to lift their feet for short distances. Before long, they’ll be cruising along and you’ll have to quicken your pace just to keep up. Some children take a few days, others a few weeks to get the hang of it. No matter how long it takes, your child will have fun learning to ride their Boot Scoot.
Boot Scoots are designed for children ages 2 through 6. A more specific indication that your child is ready to start riding is their inseam. The seat height of our smaller model, the Zoomer, adjusts from approximately 14”-17” with a quick-release collar. Most children are ready to ride either on or soon after their second birthday. The Cruiser’s seat adjusts from 17”-20” and it weighs a little more, making it perfect for slightly older children, typically ages 3-6. If your child’s inseam is at least 14”, they are ready to ride! The maximum recommended weight is 80 lbs.
