What do I need to consider before my toddler starts roller skating?
You will need to ensure that your children are protected at all times and are wearing a skate helmet, elbow pads and knee pads, along with long trousers and long sleeve clothing to give them as much protection as possible for when they fall. The benefits of your toddlers wearing protective gear extend to more than just keeping your little ones safe. In fact, staying protected whilst roller skating will give them the confidence they need to try and improve, as well as giving new manoeuvres and tricks a shot too, since they know that, if they fall, they will be able to pick themselves up without getting injured.
Where can my toddler roller skate?
There are a good few places where toddlers can make the most of their roller skating in a safe and controlled environment. One place you can take your children too is an indoor skatepark, where you can keep an eye on them but also give them the space they need to really get stuck in. Roller discos and indoor roller skate rinks are another good spot and some spots even offer lessons too. At Roller Jam in Birmingham, for example, adults and toddlers can dine and skate for less than £10, offering the perfect day out for the family. If you don’t have enough space in your back garden, consider taking your child to the park, where there is more than enough space to get rolling and improve their skills.
SFR Stomper Adjustable Junior Boy's Skates - Blue/Red
The adjustable SFR Stomper Junior Skates is a great choice of roller skates for your toddler. Its adjustable nature means that your little one will grow with the beginner skates; you just adjust the size to their growing feet and they are good to go. If your child is all about their cartoons, comics and superheroes, then the aesthetics on this pair is just right for them! The blue, red and comic-style print is a great choice for any child that is all about their pop culture, so treat your little hero to the SFR Stomper today!
SFR Stomper Adjustable Junior Girl's Skates - White/Pink
These adjustable skates are a better choice for toddlers than the standard quad skates, because the larger two-back wheels offer much more stability and balance for little ones so that they can move with confidence. They are also much closer to the ground, offering the feeling of a lower sense of gravity and more balance; the way the roller skates are designed means that toddlers will be able to move more freely and easily. If your kid’s favourite colour is pink, then you have hit the jackpot with these!
SFR Nebula Adjustable Roller Skates - Black/Red
If your toddlers want a pair of roller skates that are a little more striking with regards to how they look, then the SFR Nebula might hit the spot. The black and red colours give a classic hardcore combo, with printed stars on the side and lip of the skates to give it a dash of dazzle. It has a comfortable inner lining, which means your child can skate for hours on end without tiring their feet and ankles out. The 52 x 32mm wheels are large enough to offer sufficient support. The ABEC 5 carbon bearings will keep your child rolling smoothly no matter where they are and the boot in general is quite easily adjustable, meaning that you can refit them with no issue at all as the little monsters grow.
SFR Vision II Quad Roller Skates - Purple
If your children are a little more advanced to the point they have got the hang of roller skating, then they might want to progress onto the SFR Vision II Quad Roller Skates. These skates are moreso built for smoother skating and they are flexible in the sense that you can do more with them compared to the adjustable skates. The pink wheels and purple laces stand out against the white boots, giving it more of a winter, snowy look. It also gives off a more classic, plain and simple style; nothing too much, which means your toddler can focus solely on the skating and rolling about all over the place.
United Skates Vibe Quad Roller Skates - Camo Blue
The United Skates Vibe Roller Skates is another good option for toddlers who have got to grips with roller skating and perhaps have grown out of their adjustable skates. If you are looking for a pair that will help them progress in their skating journey, but at the same time, won’t be too much for them to take on and handle, this is an ideal pair. These skates come with a soft comfortable faux velvet inner lining, with a hook and loop upper support strap to keep your feet secured and locked in but extremely comfortable at the same time. This will also ensure that the boots don’t fly off the feet of your little ones, no matter whether they slip, fall over or just lose their balance and end up jolting all over the place.
