    I appreciate that its really none of my business but my dd1 begged me for these for months,i finally gave in and got her some only for her to sustain a head injury whilst wearing them,imo they really are quite dangerous and i really wouldnt recommend them.

    Both my daughters had them around the age of 7, perhaps younger, as long as you show them how to use them properly, they shouldn't have any problems, imo, they are safer than skates and my two never had any accidents.

    Make sure she has her feet as if taking a step (not feet together!). The back foot needs to be just slightly off the floor and and the front just slightly higher. Happy Heelying :D

    I saw some the other day when I was looking for Vans for my youndest. I think this is where I saw them, but if I see them cheaper, I'll post another link, as these still seem quite dear to me!

    My DD had them and survived to tell the tale. Kids can sustain head injuries with skateboards, push bikes, roller skates, climbing trees, running, skipping, jumping etc etc

    Unless you plan to bubble wrap your children then let them have some fun!

    my boys love them , i have always bought them fro the entertainer they are £19.99 and you can get black and red or pink and white, if they do not have your size in stock they will order them in, if you buy online you can go through quidco
