When its unlocked steering is controlled by leaning on either side of the scooter not turning the handle which again helps children to learn balance. Maybe it’s just our kid – but he refuses to use the foot pegs, instead dragging his feet on the ground if he doesn’t feel like walking. Above is the scooter mode, you can see how the bike seat is simply rotated to form the front post of the scooter. The Globber range offers a series of ride-on scooters that transform from that first walking and push bike, to their first scoot for beginners. The scooter has a number of safety features built in including the parental control handle when used as a balance bike so you know they can't zoom off when they're not confident enough.

On day 1, when we showed him the scooter, he ran straight to, grabbled the handle bars and hopped on! The Comfort model has a more generous seat than the Sporty version (and added foot rests), and the Play models include a light-up horn.Browse our full range of skateboards for plenty of choice including some seriously cool retro rides featuring LED wheels.

After a few weeks, our toddler is getting the hang of it, and it’s replaced the stroller for most summer night walks. Of course he did it without reading the instructions properly like all men do {and he didn't screw it up, which is a surprise and a testament to how easy it is to put together}. Globber advises the ride-on mode to be used from around 15 months, which our tester thought was about right – as soon as you’re sure your child can sit and hold on without toppling off!

Warning: It is illegal to ride electric scooters on public roads (except under very specific circumstances), pavements, or cycle paths.
