What is a TootScoot?
A TootScoot Balance Bike is a sturdy, yet lightweight bike that is designed for children between the ages of 18 months and 4 years. It has no training wheels or pedals, and is designed with wider-than-normal wheels to assist children in the process of learning balance and coordination. In addition, it makes the transition to a traditional two-wheeled bicycle, well, smoother!

What are the advantages of a TootScoot compared to a tricycle or bike with training wheels?
When you purchase a TootScoot for your child, rather than a bike with training wheels or a trike, you are enhancing the balance the child already possesses. When we say, “If you can walk you can ride!” we really mean it!
Training wheels tend to be counterproductive and can act as nothing more than a crutch for children. Also, they can cause traumatic events when it comes time to remove them. There are also more moving parts when training wheels are involved. They can bend and become dangerous, not to mention they stick easily into grooves, underbrush and cracks in sidewalks. TootScoot bikes are easy to maneuver, light enough for a child to pick up and carry around, and functional for kiddos even younger than two years.

Is the TootScoot easy to use? How long does it take to learn?
The TootScoot is very easy to use! It`s ridden just like a foot-to-floor push toy with pure kid power fueling it. Kids sit on the seat and scoot themselves along using their feet. Eventually they`ll coast with their feet in the air or on the footrest, while learning to balance themselves as they lean from one side to the other. Children will typically walk/ride it the first time or two they use it and then bravery and the urge to experiment usually take over! We usually see kiddos coast with their feet up after a few days to a week. Of course, all children learn at different paces, so this timeframe is provided as just a general guideline.

What is the intended age for the TootScoot?
The TootScoot was designed for children ages 18 months 4 years. That doesn`t mean the younger tykes can`t give it their best, though! After all, if you can walk, you can ride! We`ve seen many children even as young as one year old walk and scoot along with the TootScoot.

Why should I buy my child a TootScoot?
Oh, so many reasons! A TootScoot will help your child gain confidence as well as teach them basic motor skills. Many small children see older children with bikes, and this will give them the opportunity to have one of their own and maybe even keep up with the big kids. Just because it`s a balance bike doesn`t mean it`s not the real thing!
