Scootlock: Safe Scooters (giveaway & discount code)
Collaborative Post
We’ve been out road-testing the latest must-have scooter accessory; a Scootlock!
My eldest loves racing around the park on her scooter and our younger daughter is getting into it now too. But what do you do when they spy the playground and you’re left with 2 scooters, a pushchair, and 2 children to keep an eye on?!
…Introducing the Scootlock!
What Is A Scootlock?
A Scootlock (£19.99) is a nifty little gadget that allows you to quickly and easily fasten your scooter to a fence or bench. It’s a bit like a bike lock but it lives on your child’s scooter so you always have it with you (one less thing for us busy parents to worry about!) and unlocks by inputting the pin-code.
My daughters were so excited about choosing their own “secret code” for the Scootlock! My 5yo said it’s just like when Roquefort has to unlock the chest in The Aristocats by twisting the dial to the right number.
We chose two pink locks but there are five colours to choose from, and they can be easily adapted to fit adult or junior scooters, bikes, or even pushchairs (think peace-of-mind when you have to queue for buggy-free tourist attractions / activities).
As the dark winter nights are starting to close in, it’s also great to know that the Scootlock badge is reflective, making your kids easily visible.
Our Verdict
The Scootlock is easy to use, and is a really simple way to keep your kid’s scooter safe. We love that it is always attached to the scooter because mummy is we are a bit forgetful sometimes.
My 5yo struggled a little to fasten the scooter up by herself as you have to hold a button down and pull the cable out of the coil at the same time, but I’m sure she’ll get the hang of it after a few tries. Plus, she feels very grown up and excited about having her own secret code.
Plus Points:
- Easy to attach
- Always have it with you
- Secret codes are exciting!
Difficulties:
- Was a bit fiddly for my 5yo to work by herself
Overall, we felt it was a really useful product, and would be a fantastic addition to any scooters that might be hiding under the Christmas Tree in a few weeks time!
The Scootlock gets a big thumbs up from us!

I love the bright colous and they look so easy for little children to lock and unlock themselves!
Yes they’re really colourful! And very simple to use. Thanks for commenting, Tracy. Good luck with the competition!
What a fab idea! I’m always bringing the scooter into places I probably shouldn’t for fear of leaving it and then getting it stolen….this is the perfect solution. Thanks for linking up to #coolmumclub lovely x

This post could not have come into my life at a more appropriate time! The hubby and I were literally discussing this last night as we are going to a holiday park shortly and taking the little one’s scooter, but couldn’t work out how to secure it in the buggy parks while we go in to use the indoor facilities? This is perfect! I shall be back shortly to click… x #coolmumclub
Oh yes it’d be perfect for that sort of thing! We had a similar thing the other week because we went to CBeebies Land and had to leave the pram in the buggy park whenever we wanted to go on a ride – I wish we’d had these then!
Seems a brill idea, I am forever walking around the park with scooter in one hand pushing the pram in the other! Especially good as it gives kids a sense of responsibility to lock the scooter up themselves.
Yes that’s a really good point – it’ll help to teach them about looking after their possessions and being responsible for them. Thanks for adding that. L
What a fab idea!! My eldest has a microscooter and they’re not cheap so a handy lock like this would be a fab idea. Thanks for joining us for #marvmondays
Fab giveaway, looks like a really useful little lock too! #MarvMondays
Great idea! Love that she had her own secret code as well, bet it makes her feel very special! #MarvMondays
What a good idea!! Thanks for sharing #marvmondays
I think it is a great idea & also shows children that we need to look after our items & make sure they are secure when left alone. I like the bright colours too!
I like the bright colours too!
What a clever idea! My boy has a scooter and I do worry about it when we go to the playground and I have to abandon it while we play. This is the perfect solution!xx #twinklyTuesday
It really is a great idea, isn’t it! I was really impressed! Thanks for commenting, Wendy. L
That’s a really good idea! I’ll definitely save this for when my two are a bit older 🙂 #MarvMondays
This is such a good idea! I love how bright and colourful it is, usually locks are ugly but this one is stylish! #marvmondays
Love the colours and a great idea for helping keep scooters safe. I like the fact that they are easy to attach.
Yes it was really easy to get it all set up 🙂
What a brilliant invention. #marvmondays
What a fabulous idea! I’ve often thought about how we would keep our scooters safe when we are out and about, and at the moment leave it to the hands of fate – but this is a brilliant idea! #marvmondays
I think the best thing about it is it will give parents peace of mind. There’s nothing worse than being in the park and have fun while also trying to keep an eye on a scooter too! #marvmondays
We all could do with one less thing to worry about! Thanks for leaving a comment. L
Compact and ease of use -perfect to secure our scooter
