Originally Published 2 years ago — by GMA
Alfonso Ribeiro's daughter recently fell off a sit-down scooter, resulting in road rash and bruises. Dr. Meghan Martin, a pediatric emergency medicine attending physician, advises parents to have children wear protective equipment and clothing, follow traffic rules, and exercise caution when putting small kids on scooters. Urgent care is recommended for superficial scratches, but emergency departments with more resources are best for more serious injuries. Martin also suggests avoiding scooters altogether if possible.
