What are those trainers with wheels in them called?

[DumbledoresGirl]

And where can I buy them please?

Heelys.

Thanks. Have googled and am bewildered by choice and information. Can anyone advise where is the easiest place to get them and what they cost? (£60 on websites! )

heeleys they are called you can get them in sports and soccar, fenwicks.

my dd was 59.99 from sports and soccer they were the two wheeled ones the one wheeled ones are more expensive and for more experienced heeleyers apparently. HTH.

Anyone's child got them? Would they be a good present for my 7 yo dd?

Lots of kids round here have them and go flying round Tescos wearing them cos it has a nice shiny floor. Seem flippin' lethal to me!!!!

i hate the things. our supermarkets have banned them. watched a girl sing them the other day, then her feet went from under her and she fell, landing on her lower spine. she was in alot of pain and had to see 1st aider.

skates are ok cos at least you can balance but these things are so easy to fall off

My dd has them, they are brilliant i think.

So would roller blades be a better idea?

www.rawk.com for online purchases

depends what you want them for, if it's for fashion then it'll have to be heelies, if it's for something to do skating on i'd try to persuade her to have blades

Nursery and toys website have them for £30.

I think I have decided against them now. I was shocked they cost as much as they did and, although she wasn't against the idea, it wasn't as if she positively asked for them. Whereas she has been going on about getting a pogo stick since before Christmas, so I think purely on the basis of giving her what she wants rather than what I want her to have, the pogo stick wins.

sounds like a good idea to me
