Scooters (wheeled toys babies sit on and push with their feet) are generally not recommended for babies under 12 months. Two main reasons:
1. Safety: Scooters let baby move faster than expected and veer toward stairs, edges, and other hazards without warning.
2. Development: Scooting skips the valuable steps—crawling, pulling up, cruising on furniture, balancing alone. These natural milestones are more important for muscle and balance development than wheeled toys.
Current thinking: if baby is already walking well (usually 12-18 months) and uses it on flat ground with you watching, a scooter is usually fine as a toy. Prefer three-wheeled, wide-based, slower models.
Bottom line: not recommended for babies just starting to walk; okay for walking toddlers with careful supervision and the right model.
