What else is worth considering? Its for a tall 6 year old.
I'd like to get some ideas / recommendations, before hunting down a shop that has them in stock to try for fit etc.
I bought a set of these for my 6 yr old daughter:

She has used them a couple of times but is growing so fast, I'm going to have to get some more!
bought some troy lee "youths size" leg protectors at lbs the other day for my 8yr old (who is actually 6 yrs old bone and size wise)from memory about £18 tried on some 661's slightly cheaper and more to them but she felt happy with the troy lee ones and has been riding in them ok and the velcro lloks like it will last ok
not managed to sort arm protection yet
