Product Description

Product Description

These in-line skates are the type that fit over shoes--the size adjusts to fit children's shoe sizes 6 to 12 (U.S.). The skates have a rear stop, hook, and loop straps. Three settings help kids adjust slowly to skating. On setting 1, beginners can walk in the skates with one wheel locked. As their confidence and ability increase, you can change the setting to 2, which allows the wheels to roll forward but not back. Setting 3 lets the wheels roll freely.

2.0 out of 5 stars wrong age info for this product!, July 16, 2004

The age info for these skates and the similar ones for boys is completely wrong. They fit up to a size 11 shoe (NOT size 12), which most children outgrow by the age of 4 or 5 (my daughter has small feet and could still wear the skates at age 6). The locking mechanism isn't perfect, so when you start your beginner child on them she might all of a sudden find herself rolling too fast. My daughter (a tentative type) did not learn to skate with this product before she outgrew it.

My 2 year old received these as a birthday present. I was very worried about her ability to use them by herself. However, much to my delight, after a little help getting into them, she can skate by herself! The only downfall so far is the fact that she wants to wear them everywhere, including bed! Highly recommended even for kids as young as 2!

I recently purchased on line "Barbie My First Skates" for my child. The product description never mentioned the maximum weight is 44 lbs. This weight limit makes these skates completely useless to my child. And, it leaves me with the time consuming chore of trying return the skates.
