Rollerblades - Looking for buying advice for six year old daughter

[DaddysMamasNet]

I would like to get myu daughter a decent pair of roller blades.She has normal feet (size 10).

Can anybody recommend a good manufacturer that I can get in the UK.

Like most things you get better quality for more money. Avoid plastic type ones in toys r us etc if you want to actually skate properly rather than shuffling walk We got ski type boots with good wheels off ebay second hand. They adjust sizes 13-2 which was perfect for us. My 7yr old can now skate seafront 1-2miles at gd gd pace with us. Get wrist protection and knee guards and she wears her cycle helmet. Quads more stable than inlines when learning. Tying a fleece around her middle adds extra padding for bum falls. Have fun we go out as a family both DH and I have skates &youngest scoots.
