Kids and Petite Knee Scooter Guide
Children and shorter adults break ankles and have foot surgery too, and an adult knee scooter is often too tall for them to ride safely. Junior knee scooters have a lower knee pad and handlebar, a smaller frame and a lower weight, so smaller riders can kneel with the hip straight and steer comfortably.
Choosing a junior scooter
- Height range. This matters most. The Knee Walker Jr fits riders about 3 ft 6 in to 5 ft 4 in, and the KneeRover Jr models fit riders up to about 5 ft 6 in to 5 ft 9 in, depending on the model. Check each product's range.
- Weight capacity. Junior models are rated from 160 to 250 lbs.
- Tires. The KneeRover Jr All Terrain has 10 inch air-filled tires for playgrounds, school campuses and sidewalks.
- Sizing check. Have your child stand on the good leg and bend the injured knee to about 90 degrees. The pad should be at knee height and the handlebars at about wrist height.
Safety tips for kids
- Practice with an adult in a clear, flat area first, including using the brake.
- Set clear rules: walking speed only, no stairs, no hills, no riding near traffic or pools, and no passengers.
- Talk to the school nurse about elevators, extra passing time between classes and a place to park the scooter.
- Check the brake and adjustment knobs every day, since kids can loosen them.
Adult under about 5 ft? A junior or petite scooter may fit you better than a standard one. See our sizing guide or call us for help.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can a child use a knee scooter?
It depends on height, coordination and the doctor's advice more than age. Many school-age children use a junior knee scooter well. The rider should be tall enough to fit the height range and able to steer and squeeze the brake.
Can a petite adult use a kids knee scooter?
Yes. Junior scooters are a good fit for adults who are too short for a standard scooter, as long as they are within the model's height range and weight capacity.
Can my child take a knee scooter to school?
Usually, yes. Check with the school about elevator access and where to park it. Children should not ride on stairs and should carry the scooter only with help.
Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?
Yes. We accept FSA and HSA cards at checkout.
Is shipping free?
Yes, shipping is free to the continental United States. Orders to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories and APO addresses pay shipping.
