It is very important that children follow safety guidelines for scooter use including:

• Children should always wear appropriate safety gear, including a helmet, and elbow and knee pads when riding a scooter
• Be sure protective gear fits properly and does not interfere with the rider’s movement, vision or hearing
• Children ages 8 and under should not use scooters without close adult supervision.
• Before using a scooter, the rider or parent should check it thoroughly for hazards such as loose, broken or cracked parts; sharp edges on metal boards; slippery top surfaces; and wheels with nicks and cracks.
• Ride scooters on smooth, paved surfaces free from traffic. Avoid riding on streets or surfaces with water, sand, gravel or dirt.
• Don’t ride scooters at night.
• Never hitch a ride from a car, bus, truck, bicycle, etc., and limit usage of the scooter to one person at a time.
• Exercise caution when riding a scooter downhill. If a steep hill is encountered, step off the scooter and walk to the bottom of the hill.
