"Top 5 Essential Rollerblading Gear for Kids (Parents, Read This)"

Children’s growing bones need protection! Always start with a CPSC-certified helmet. Wrist guards are non-negotiable (Triple 8 and G-Form are trusted brands). Elbow and knee pads should fit snugly but allow movement. For beginners, padded shorts add extra protection. Replace gear every 18 months or after a fall. Teach kids to “fall forward” to avoid wrist injuries. Pair safety gear with age-appropriate skates, like Micro Kickboard models with adjustable sizes.
