[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5 year took very well to roller skates - the real, heavy kind.

I put pads on her elbows, knees, hands, and had her wear padded shorts and a helmet.  She fell a million times the first three days, then picked it up like a pro.

We also watched some short youtube videos on technique that helped.

Now she's all over the place and rarely falls.  It was great to watch.  Just cover up EVERYTHING on her body that could get scraped and let her go!

I did not join, as I am not really into roller skating, but if you are motivated, that might be a fun activity. [/quote]

These are the skates we purchased.  https://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Girls-Sidewalk-Roller-Skate/dp/B000GW7D0M

Get padded shorts too!  https://www.amazon.com/JMsDream-Padded-Protection-Protective-Skating/dp/B07P6NR9WH/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=padded+shorts+for+kids&qid=1592575803&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-10[/quote]

I’m sorry, but those padded shorts look ridiculous![/quote]

They do. They’ll make excellent throwback photos for her late teens, too. muuaaaahahahahha[/quote]
