Hoverboards are all the rage, and chances are your kid has asked for one. It is only natural to be concerned about your child’s safety on the hoverboard. This doesn’t mean that they have to miss out on the action because of your concerns. With careful deliberation and forethought, you can get a hoverboard that is safe for your child, and one that he is going to enjoy for years to come. There are a couple of factors to consider when picking out a hoverboard for your child.

Safety

This is a great place to start when picking out a hoverboard for your child. This includes asking about the board’s safety features and track record. Enquire about additional accessories such as shoulder pads, knee pads and helmets. Your child will definitely need these in the beginning before they figure their way out around the board.

Maximum Speed

Kids are naturally cheeky and adventurous so you can be sure that they will want to max out the speed on the segway. Keep the maximum speed to under 12-13 KM/Hr. This should be fast enough for them to enjoy the trill of a hoverboard, but slow enough to minimize the risk of major injury in case of a collision or other accident.

Get an Age Appropriate Board

Ask your seller about the best hoverboard for the age of your child. A good seller should be able to give you suggestions based on past experiences and other factors. The board you buy should be clearly marked with its maximum speed. It may be worth double checking with the seller about the top speed as well as whether the board is age appropriate.

Choose Quality Over Price

The popularity of hoverboards has meant stiff competition on the market. There are plenty of cheap options that may seem like a bargain at first glance. The truth is that cheap board manufacturers cut corners where safety is concerned. The board, plugs, battery or charging box may not be compliant to safety standards and pose a fire hazard among other risks. It is better to pay premium price for a premium board that you know will not catch fire or injure your child in any way.

The best tip is to take all these factors up with a reputable seller such as UberBoard. Such a seller deals in only genuine products, and will be able to answer your questions and offer professional recommendations to help you get the right board for your child.
