If you follow me on Twitter, then you know that we don’t stay still much. I have a very active little boy who doesn’t like to stay put! So when we’re not trekking around Southern California, you’ll find my two favorite men in the entire world outside doing things like this…
My son recently received his very first scooter! He was super excited, but I wasn’t sure if he would be mature enough (or big enough) to ride it.
Important: Children should always wear a helmet while riding a scooter. We are in the process of purchasing one.
I am so proud of him! With a little coaching from the hubby, he was off and riding in no time!
Shred Sled, a company that specializes in extreme sports products for children, recently introduced their new Shox Scooter! The company boasts that it is the first active shock absorber scooter that allows riders to perform “higher, faster, more awesome tricks.” Now, at my son’s young age, I’m quite content for him to simply ride it. But as he grows into it, he’ll definitely appreciate the supreme shocks for stunts!
The scooter is made from lightweight aluminum and folds in half for easy transport. I really like that it’s adjustable (the handles adjust to various heights) so that children can get years of use from it. It’s sturdy and includes a rough grip surface so children can achieve superior foot control and traction (very important while performing tricks). This is a great beginner scooter but older, more experienced children will appreciate it’s ability to increase a rider’s speed and air time.
We honestly haven’t tried doing tricks with the scooter because my heart probably can’t take that right now. But he’s been having fun learning to ride it and I know we’ll have many years of play with it.
The Shox Scooter retails for $59.99 and is available for purchase directly on the Shred Sled site or select retailers nationwide.

That looks like a fun scooter and it’s nice because it has three wheels instead of just two
Louise, I didn’t even know that scooters were made with two v. three wheels! LOL!
That’s so cool! I’m very impressed he could do it on his own. I bet my son would love one, too.
Kate…I honestly didn’t think he could….but with my hubby’s help he learned. He’s actually quite brave…..
