Anyone who has traveled with little kids knows the walking adds up: parking lots, long airport walkways, theme parks and city sidewalks. A folding scooter can help keep small legs moving and moods happy.
Why parents pack one
- Long walks feel shorter: kids who would beg to be carried are happy to scoot.
- It folds: our aluminum-frame scooters fold down to fit in a trunk or overhead space for easy carrying.
- Built-in entertainment: light-up wheels make waiting around more fun.
- Ready at your destination: boardwalks, campgrounds and resort paths are more fun on wheels.
Tips for airports and flights
- Check your airline first. Rules for strollers, ride-ons and kids' equipment vary by airline, so look up whether it can be carried on or gate-checked.
- Know the terminal rules. Many airports don't allow riding inside the terminal. Plan to carry or roll it folded, and save riding for allowed areas.
- Fold it before security. It will go through screening like other carry-on items, so have it folded and ready.
- Bring the helmet. A compact helmet means your child can ride safely once you arrive.
