| Mm...I'd go with the ones that fit. You don't want her foot sliding around in there. |

| I would not get them unless you want to deal with broken bones. |

Agree! And I would do some research on safety issues. Plus they are not allowed in a lot of places - I think that could be really frustrating for you both. I'm envisioning constant battles regarding their use. Have you consider roller skates? |

| I feel like they run small. My kids love them. No injuries. |

| I would buy a larger size and then put insoles in them to make them tighter. |

| Enjoy your trip to the orthopedist. Why not just go straight to the hoverboard and have it burn your house down? |

| My 10 yr old has been getting them every year since 5. We always get one size up. Never a problem. But he's extremely coordinated and great balanced. |

Oh god. Not Heeleys.
It takes everything I have to not trip each 8 year old that zips past me in a public place. |
