Developed by Micro Scooters in collaboration with top biomechanic experts, "Play for Life" underscores the vital importance of active play for nursery-aged children and highlights the role ride-on toys, like trikes and scooters, have in nurturing development and building confidence.

Mike Grice, a Biomechanic Coach and child development specialist who helped develop the initiative highlights, "Creating a play environment that invites fun, exploration, and learning is crucial. It fosters not only physical activity but a budding confidence and curiosity to explore further."
