N2  - The sales of foot-propelled scooters (microscooters) in the United States has skyrocketed with a concomitant increase in emergency department visits related to injuries. It is estimated that more than 60% of injuries could be prevented or reduced in severity if protective gear had been worn. Pediatric nurses should support efforts to decrease scooter-related injuries in children by advocating for the usage of protective gear. Further research is indicated to assess knowledge of potential dangers in those with reported scooter-related injuries, the extent of injuries, and protective gear worn prior to injury occurrence.
