Children's roller skates - varieties and nuances of choice

Roller skates for children are a great way to introduce your child to sport. Roller-skating exercises almost every muscle in the body: leg, arm, back and abdominal muscles. It develops coordination and reaction. Roller-skating can only be rivaled by horse-riding in terms of body involvement. However, unlike equestrian sports, roller skating for children is much more affordable.

We'll explain which roller skates are available, how to navigate their selection and what to look out for when buying.  

Which children's roller skates are available:

You can buy roller skates for your child from the age of 3-5 years. But you need to choose the right model to enjoy skating. It's important that the roller skates fit your child's feet and are well fixed. Too big roller skates are not only uncomfortable but can also cause injuries.

Adjustable skates for children are popular today. These are adjustable models specially designed for fast-growing children's feet. These skates are equipped with a mechanism to increase the size. For example, starting from size 28, they can be gradually increased up to foot size 32. This model can be used for several seasons. It is important to pay attention to the sliding mechanism. Choose roller skates that slide back on the toe, not the heel. This prevents the body center of gravity from shifting forwards.

Roller skates differ in the number of wheels. The most popular are 3-wheel skates and 4-wheel skates. The three wheel option is also known as sport roller skates. They are lighter, faster and easier to maneuver. Four wheel skates on the other hand, are more stable and easier for beginners to learn on. However, if your child is used to kates and wants to increase speed and maneuverability, you can buy a three wheel model.

4-Wheel kids skates include models with wheels that are not arranged linearly but in pairs: two at the front and two at the back. These children's skates are called "quads" and are easy to learn to ride because they are very stable.

There are also '2-in-1' roller skates for kids, called duplexes. These have gained popularity because they are suitable for both warm and cold seasons. The base, with wheels attached, can be replaced by a blade, like on classic ice skates, and go to the skating rink. When spring comes, you can put the wheels back on and skate in the park.  

Nowadays, even more sophisticated models are on sale - children's "3-in-1" kids roller skates. These can be converted from winter skates to four-wheeled skates. And the wheels can be arranged in single rows or in pairs.

Details of the selection of roller skates for girls and boys.

In fact, the models differ only in design. Children's roller skates for girls are produced in more colorful variations: bright prints, contrasting elements are more common. Children's roller skates with luminous wheels are popular for girls.
