USE, OPERATION, AND SAFETY
As a parent, you should read this manual before letting your child ride his
or her new scooter. The age grade of 5 years old is based on United States
government guidance on child development and appropriate toys, but young
children are all different. If your child walks and runs with confidence, then the
child may have developed the balancing skills to operate the scooter. Turning
with a small front wheel and stopping with a simple brake are not the same as
a bicycle or car. You can not expect your child to understand how difficult it
is to stop on hills or at speed or turn without jerking the small front wheel, and
your close supervision and sound limits about speed and grade are required
for your child’s safety. So encourage play and having fun with the scooter, but
keep it on flat surfaces or gentle slopes, always wear shoes (never barefoot,
sandals or flip flops), and avoid traffic and pedestrians.
Remember, only you
are the best judge of whether your child is at the appropriate develop-
ment stage for safe play with this scooter.
Always have your child use safety equipment and appropriate clothes and
shoes. Safety equipment is a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. The helmet
is not only a good idea but required in many communities. To protect your
child, the helmet must comply with CPSC, 16 CFR Section 1203 requirements
and be worn correctly.
