Rollerskates/inline skates for 6 year old

[supergolden88]

My daughter has requested these for her 6th birthday. Not sure about it - she tends to be absent minded and has already fractured her ankle earlier this year (though it was not her fault).

Does anyone have these - would you say they were safe to use? Any brand recommendations/retailers welcome

the other option is a skateboard...

Our 6 year old got some for Christmas. It required a lot of hand holding to start with, but she soon got the hang of it and now loves them. She wears her bike helmet when she goes on them and she has got some knee and elbow pads as well (although she doesn't always wear these). You can get ones which are adjustable in size as well, which means they won't just last for six months.

Yes we know quite a few who got them when they were 6yrs old. Check out eBay and Amazon and see what suits you.
