me and ds were in town today and almost got 'skated' or rolled into several times!!
i just don't think they should be used in a very busy town centre during half-term!

children in shops, what a disgrace, should be left at home.. alone

hate them too
but Im probably just sour old bag
for all the reasons already stated, they do scare me when I child is walking then suddenly glides past, freaks me out a bit

Fun at home - a menace in a supermarket/shopping centre - but that goes for children in shops generally!

oh no, by NO means do i NOT mind them in places where it is safe for children to use them...but on a busy sidewalk or busy shooping centre, i don't think it's appropiate to be zooming about, knocking into people..... there's definitely a place and time to use them.

I hate them too, kids zooming around, not looking where they are going and knoking into people

Tend to agree. My DS has them and he thinks I'm so unreasonable that he can't wear them in town. But same reason as he can't wear blades or ride his bike on the pavement.

tbh they are annoying but I would never get pissed off enough to start a thread about them.

Have a friend in A&E and he says there are loads of accidents because of these so refuse to let my children have them.

alos I saw someone on them unintentionally scare an old lady.
