Patent ID: 11021201

Abstract:
A telescoping carer's handle for a child's kick scooter comprising a padded handle on one end of a telescoping pole mechanism. The telescoping pole mechanism is arranged parallel to and attaches to the vertical portion of the child kick scooter's T-bar handlebar by means of one or more clamps and brackets. The telescoping carer's handle is reversibly extendable and retractable from the scooter in a direction substantially upwards and downwards, respectively, relative to the handlebar portion of the scooter. There can be a locking mechanism between adjacent telescoping tubes that allows the user to raise or lower the top of the pole and then lock it into position so that, in use, a carer located adjacent to the scooter can grasp the handle at a comfortable height and safely steer, stop and or propel the scooter and child, and alternatively retract the carer's handle when not in use.
