How old can a child play with a scooter?
In recent years, scooters are favored by more and more young parents who buy scooters for their children. Playing scooter can improve children's sense of balance and coordination and stimulate their interest in learning. But since scooter is a dangerous sport, how old can a child play it?
Over three years old
Generally speaking, scooters are more suitable for children over 3 years old to learn and play. Children under 3 years old walk unsteadily, have a weak sense of balance, are difficult to control themselves, and are prone to wrestling. And playing scooter too early may affect the child's leg development. Children over 3 years old can walk smoothly and can be used with their parents. Generally speaking, children aged 3 to 7 can practice scooters in moderation, which is beneficial to improve their balance and coordination ability.
Be accompanied by family.
Scooter is a difficult sport, and children will have a hard time when they first learn it, so they need the close companionship of their parents. In addition, children's safety awareness is not strong, and they may not pay attention to their own safety when skateboarding. If they drive too fast, it is easy to fall down when it is difficult to control the speed. The bones of a 3-year-old child are still very fragile. If they fall to the ground, they are easily broken. It's even more unimaginable if the back of the head touches the ground.
safety first
When children play scooters, safety comes first. In addition to the close companionship of parents, you should also wear complete protective equipment, such as helmets, wrist pads and knee pads. Can protect them when they fall. When children around 3 years old choose a scooter, it is best to choose a three-wheeled scooter instead of a two-wheeled scooter. Three-wheeled scooter is more stable and safer. When children grow up and master three-wheeled scooters, they can practice other kinds of scooters properly.
What should beginners pay attention to when playing skateboard?
Skateboarding is a very popular sport in recent years, especially among young people. Now more and more people take part in skateboarding, which is an extreme sport with high risk factor. What should novices pay attention to when they first come into contact to reduce risks?
1, learn skills first
Before the actual operation, you should master the skills of skateboarding. It is best for beginners to read some basic books or videos about skateboarding before playing skateboarding, master skateboarding skills and precautions, especially the measures to deal with dangerous situations. If possible, you can ask the teacher to teach you how to practice skateboarding. For beginners, skateboarding is unfamiliar, it is difficult to find the center of gravity, and it is easy to wrestle, so it is very important to learn skills first. You can start practicing slowly after learning skills, and you can master skateboarding skills after long-term persistence.
2. Location selection
Skateboarding requires high ground conditions, especially for beginners, so you must choose a flat ground. Another place to choose is a place with low traffic, so don't collide with pedestrians. The best place to play skateboarding is mainly the flat open space or square in the park, and you can't practice on the road. Novice skaters are not skilled and the road is uneven. If you encounter bumps such as pebbles, skateboarding will have a strong sense of vibration, and it is easy to eject people, which is too dangerous.
