Wrist braces for sure

I would go with in-line skates, not roller skates.

I would also get knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist braces.

They offer some for that age that can be adjusted for size as they grow, which is great because their feet go so fast!

This was his birthday request. Do I do regular skates or inline? Any brand recommendations? We'll do a helmet for sure. What other safety equipment would you recommend at a minimum?
