When I was younger I loved to skateboard. I used to think I was the next Tony Hawk. Sadly that was very misguided, but then I became a father and a lot of those things you do in your youth get put away for another day.
I’m a father of five children as regular readers of my blog will know, and I have five year old twin girls and my twins love to go to their local park, which is about a ten minute walk. Walking, well that’s not much fun!
My twins love to scoot there and I always thought wouldn’t it be fun to scoot with them? So when I was approached by skates.co.uk to review a scooter. I jumped at the chance! This would be great fun and the twins will think it’s cool too.
So at the earliest opportunity we were all off to the park on our scooters and actually I had forgotten how much fun it can be!
It also saved me from running behind the girls to keep up I was along side them all the way!
The scooter I was sent to review was a JD Bug 200 Matt Black Street Foldable Scooter. It’s a very stylish model and a perfect match for me.
The JD Bug 200 is a lightweight model with a single lever folding mechanism making it quick and easy to fold. It’s perfect for commuting to work. It’s ergonomically designed to reduce stress on the lower back and a rear brake to help you slow down or stop. The cost of £99.95 is great value and can be purchased here.
So if you want to keep up with your children, you know what to do! Get yourself a scooter, and get scooting!
I would love to hear your thoughts. Do you scoot with your children?

Good on you is my opinion, reminds me of a time when I ran across the grass in the park with the children I was looking after when I was a child minder
