Youth skates
- Available in three sizes
- Adjustable
- Not too fast
- Easily maneuverable
- Not appropriate for very small children
We didn't see these inline skates for youth included in any professional tests, but parent reviews posted online are positive. The K2 Marlee for girls and the K2 Raider for boys come in small, medium and large sizes. These skates are also adjustable, so they'll fit larger sizes before a child outgrows them. Both versions have relatively slow (but easily maneuverable) 70mm wheels. The girls' version comes in gray with pink, the boys' in black with red. If you're looking to buy inline skates for toddlers, reviewers point to Fisher Price My First Skates (*est. $40).
Inline skates for kids aren't the subject of many reviews. The only reliable ones we could find about the K2 Marlee and K2 Raider are user reviews posted on Amazon.com.
