Children who ride scooters must wear a durable helmet. This particular accessory needs to be CPSC approved. This means that it must meet the standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It should also be comfortable and easy to wear.  Knees and elbow pads offer another layer of protection and can prevent your child from sustaining injuries and scratches while riding the scooter down ramps and on uneven sidewalks. Shin guards are also effective in protecting the bone located between the knee and foot from severe injury. Other accessories include gloves and removable baskets that kids can use to bring their water bottles and snacks to the skate park with them.
