Rollerblade Micro 4x Cube Kids Inline Skates - 2-5 Decide Now


I bought these skates for my 7 year old son and he really likes them.

This set of roller blades and the Micro 500x are quite similar. The two differences are the back pull loops on these are larger loops and easier to grip and to tug on. The bearings are rated slightly faster on these. So make sure your child can balance well and is used to rolling fast if you are deciding to buy these. Other than those two differences, these roller blades are identical except for the design/color.

My conclusions have been confirmed (in my review of the 500x) on the set of pads that come with these skates. The outer plastic shell of the helmet was damaged out of the box. The pads are the same exact ones that come with the 500x. Except for a darker plastic color with this set. Just like I stated before, I would only have my son and daughter use the wrist guards out of the set of pads.

Would these roller blades be worth the $[...] price tag on them?
- Alone, probably a bit pricey. (But if you consider the 4 adjustable sizes these skates come with, I would say money well spent.)
- With the pads and helmet, maybe. I would highly suggest getting better pads and a helmet in the very near future if you decide to use the ones that come with the skates.

Just as in my 500x review, the skates alone get a 5 star rating. The package, gets a total of 4 stars due to the mediocre pads and helmet that come with it.Get more detail about Rollerblade Micro 4x Cube Kids Inline Skates - 2-5.

BONEShieldz Pro 360 Elite Knee/Wrist/Elbow Guard Tri Pack, Youth Right now


These are very nice looking pads, but I don't know who they are sized for. The sizes available are listed as youth, small, medium, and large. Being a medium-sized woman- I chose the medium size. When I received the pads, I was surprised to find that they are smaller than the ones for my 10 year old son. I will pass them to my 7 year old and look elsewhere.

I'm very disappointed to not be able to safely use my great new rollerblades.

Buying Bell Maniac Youth Multi-Sport Helmet (Black/White Skull)


The product would have been great, quality wise, but the ad stated it was a youth 8-14 size. What arrived was a child's 5+ size. Now I'll finally find out how well Amazon handles returns. I certainly wish the size had been correct, though, as it REALLY seems like a good helmet!

Where To Buy Pro-Tec Street Gear Skate and Bike Wrist Guards (Black, Medium)


I play roller derby and have been wearing these for several months. They wear very quickly and don't provide adequate protection. I took a fall last week while wearing these exact wrist guards and shattered my wrist. I required surgery to fix a plate in my wrist as a result. I would NOT recommend these wrist guards. Buy something better, even if it means spending more money. Your bones will thank you!Get more detail about Pro-Tec Street Gear Skate and Bike Wrist Guards (Black, Medium).

Low Price Kryptonics Women's Kore Series Multi-Sport Helmet (Small/Medium, Lady Blue)


Although I had read the reviews on this fitting children, being a petite 28 yr old woman, I expected this to fit. I'm about 5'4" and 120 lbs. The Helmet ended up being so much bigger than expected, it wouldn't have even been safe if I had gotten into a bike crash and fell. I really don't know how this could have fit a child. That being said, the quality of the helmet for the price was great. It was a cute color too but, the sizing on this product needs to be more accurately described. I ended up returning and amazon was great about it.Get more detail about Kryptonics Women's Kore Series Multi-Sport Helmet (Small/Medium, Lady Blue).

Cheapest Petzl A11 R1 Vertex Vent Helmet, Red

Where To Buy FunSlides Carpet Skates - Silver - by Simtec


I got these at Target for my grownup self--I have a couple of living room area rugs and have been sliding around for fun and for simple in-home exercise. What a find!

It's not like I'm doing P90-X and getting chiseled, but I honestly have never felt such an inner thigh burn the next day after sliding laterally wearing these for a half-hour, tops! And no need to pay for an exercise slide. I can watch TV, slide around, and just plain feel good.

I think I might be wearing down the fibers in the carpet where I slide laterally back and forth as if I were on an exercise slide--but it's a cheapie from Kmart so I really don't care because it's so worth it to have quiet in-home workouts (can't do much jumping due to my downstairs neighbor). I have to be careful, the velcro snags my sneaker laces so I only use my gym shoes, not sporty sneakers I can wear to work that I want to keep from getting too messy looking.

This is a simple way to be active at home--and the skates cost under $20 and were super quick and easy to assemble! Get more detail about FunSlides Carpet Skates - Silver - by Simtec.

Razor Multi-Sport Protective Pad Set (Child) Immediately


After a few uses, 2 problems emerged: (1) the elastic stretched very easily so it no longer ensures a proper fit; and (2) one of the kneepads broke (i.e. the plastic protective cover separated from the rest of the kneepad). The inexpensive cost is not worth it so I would recommend that you pay the extra money and invest in a better set of protective gear.Get more detail about Razor Multi-Sport Protective Pad Set (Child).
