A child can skate on sliding roller skates for several seasons. Usually they change the length by 3-4 sizes. In good variants, the center of gravity is on the toe, so the injury rate is reduced. When choosing, you need to take into account the pushing mechanism.
In 2000, the first children's sliding rollers appeared on the Russian market and very quickly they became popular. Depending on the main mechanism, they can increase not only in length, but also in width. This allows you to find the pair that would be as comfortable as possible for the child's feet.
Advantages of sliding roller skates
1. They can usually be adjusted in three or four sizes. Therefore, the child can ride them for several seasons.
2. The main pull-out element in modern roller skates is the sock, which means that the center of gravity does not change when extended. Therefore, getting used to the new size is easy.
3. When purchasing such rollers, the choice is given in favor of a suitable size. Then the leg is immediately in the correct position and securely fixed. For this reason, the roller is comfortable to ride on them and there is no need to wait until the leg is of the right size.
4. The roller enlargement mechanism is very simple, so it is not difficult to adjust the length.
5. The buyer himself can choose a convenient mechanism for advancing the skates, which can be push-button or screw.
Disadvantages of sliding roller skates
1. Some firms do not care about the health of children's feet, for this reason, you can buy an option in which specific bumps appear during modernization. Roller skating will take the discomfort.
2. On some models, the center of gravity shifts to the heel after spreading. This can lead to increased injury, since the child will not fall forward, thereby softening the impact, but backward.
3. Very often lacing is used on sliding rollers. It usually takes a very long time to tie it. It should be borne in mind that with a very strong tying, blood circulation may be disrupted, and with a weak tying, the leg will not be sufficiently fixed.
4. Another disadvantage is associated with the fact that most of the sliding rollers are available in 31 sizes. Therefore, finding a suitable match for a young child is quite difficult.
In conclusion, it should be noted that pediatricians do not recommend purchasing rollers for growth. When buying, it is imperative to make a fitting, since the models may differ in height, width and length. You won't be able to teach your child how to ride on uncomfortable rollers, but you can get sprains and fractures very quickly on them. To avoid this, be sure to purchase the appropriate sized protection kits.
