Kids Scooter Parent Picks Compare
Four kick scooters, four different briefs: Besrey 3-wheel ($62.99, ages 3-10), Razor A ($29.97, the classic), Gotrax KS1 ($41.82, light-up wheels), and WAYPLUS KS1 ($81.89, ages 6+ to adults). Besrey and Razor A both scored 9.18-9.19/10 overall, but they win differently: Besrey's three-wheel deck and lean-to-steer front end suit 3-5 year olds still building balance, while the 4.6-pound aluminum Razor A is the proven simple choice with a 143-pound weight limit that outlasts the preschool years. Gotrax KS1 splits the difference at $41.82 with LED wheels, three handlebar heights and a 110-pound limit. WAYPLUS is the outlier: 240-pound capacity, rear suspension and full-size deck make it the one scooter a 6-year-old can keep riding into the teen years. For a first scooter at age 3-4, pick Besrey; for the cheapest reliable upgrade at 5+, Razor A; for light-up fun, Gotrax; for one scooter that survives the whole family, WAYPLUS.

Pros
- Besrey ($62.99): three-wheel lean-to-steer platform with LED wheels and rear fender brake, rated to 110 lb - the most confidence-inspiring first scooter for ages 3-5.
- Razor A ($29.97, 4.6 lb): the classic aluminum foldable with adjustable handlebars and a 143 lb limit - cheapest proven design that still fits older kids.
- Gotrax KS1 ($41.82): LED lighted wheels, lean-to-steer front and 3 handlebar heights at a mid-pack price, with a 110 lb limit for the 4-8 year window.
- WAYPLUS KS1 ($81.89): 240 lb capacity, rear suspension and a full-size deck - a 6+ scooter that teens and even parents can share.
Cons
- Besrey: the 3-wheel platform is easier to balance but caps speed and cornering, so confident 6+ riders will want the two-wheel options instead.
- Razor A: no LED wheels, no suspension and the narrowest deck here; the urethane wheels buzz loudly over cracked sidewalks.
- Gotrax KS1: 5.1 lb is the heaviest of the three-wheelers to carry, and its 110 lb limit is half of what the WAYPLUS accepts.
- WAYPLUS: at $81.89 it is the most expensive here, and the full-size deck (35 in long) is overkill - literally - for a small 5-year-old.
