Anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to Healies...

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

..DD is getting a pair of these for Christmas. They look the part at half the price.

how old is dd?

She is 7. She is totally in love with the idea of owning some Healies but knows we can't afford that much so she is not expecting any.

Why.. are you wondering if she is of an age to balk at 'the wrong name'?

not at all!

my ds is 8 and would love healies, but I've heard from friends he may find them a bit hard to go, although he is sporty. scared to try them incase he doesn't use them for the money!

If he is quite an agile kid I think he would be fine.. I know DD will. But even if it takes him a while, he will get better.. get him some knee and elbow pads! [grins]

they look good might be an idea for my boys

Woolies also have a version (only saw them in Power Ranger design though) for £20

nurseryandtoys.com are selling some for £30
