    Me and kids get out riding generally. But my 7 year old has just had a couple goes at Leeds bike park so needs kit. Been looking at jitse trials pads. Anyone found anything else good for wee ones?

    Decent adult arm/elbow pads make good kids leg/knee pads.
    Soft pads give you more leeway on sizing.
    Elbows are more difficult – forget what we used.

    As above, my daughter uses my elbow pads as knee pads.

    I took the view that anything I couldn’t ride sans pads, I didn’t want my 7 year old riding. So I got a nice set of elbow pads and we shared them.

    As others have suggested, Fox pee wee are fine, found the g form ones really good and the now the 10 year old is using troy lee elbows for knees. Nice to have a bike park in Leeds for the kids to play on.

    I found some excellent Lizard Skins ones for my (then) five-year-old. Soft pads with Velcro adjustable straps, think they were supposed to be skate pads but it makes no difference in practice.

    both my boys wear IXS hack knee pads. Samuel (8) has the kids large ones while Lewis (13) had the adult XS one. the kids ones are quite small so should be able to use them on young kids too as they come in small; medium; and large. Both kids are skinny. Never bothered with elbow pads.
