We can almost hear the sound of the school bell ringing for 2022. Your relaxing beach days slowly start to fade into what can only be described as the school morning chaos. For parents and families this can be a stressful time as you organise all the school books and iron the uniforms, then you remember you have to actually convince them to physically get to school. For those that live within a few km’s, encouraging your children to walk, bike or scoot can make this chore come a lot more naturally. They will be excited to get out the door and on their way with their siblings or friends and it will put them in a positive head space before they commence their day learning.
With a lot of possible commuting options for your children we have made it easy here with our top picks for scooting back to school. Your child will be smiling as they are on their way to school and be much more motivated to have a productive day.
