Tried And Tested:Scoot 'N Pull

Product: Scoot 'n Pull

Price: £6.99

The Info: We've all been there; toddler stubbornly standing beside scooter, refusing to move an inch and all your desperate attempts to negotiate - which inevitably end in bribery – fail miserably.

Once tiredness hits a childs batteries run out rather like a mobile phone, it's always at a crucial moment. This product was born from such an incident. A simple strap which can be used to pull you child back home on their scooter.

If the offer of a free ride home still doesn't work with the little nipper then the strap can be looped over the rear wheel to create a carry strap. Pop it over your shoulder and free up your arms to carry your tot.

First impressions: It might look like a simple strap but this piece of material becomes a very useful tool in your moment of need. It can be rolled up and stored in a handbag or underneath a pram.

Ease of use: Simple. To pull the scooter, the strap is put around the vertical bar and the the other looped side is fed through the d-ring and tighten. To use as a carry strap, you just loop the other end of the strap over the rear wheel.

Cons: Kids are smart cookies and should never be underestimated. This might become a regular request, not out of necessity but for the sheer fun of it. After all, having your very own chaffeur certainly ups your street cred.

Value for money: Affordable

The verdict: Dogs are so passé.
