My son keeps crashing his bike - nothing new there i guess, it's all part of the learning curve - but in order to try and reduce some of the pain and the need for me to keep picking gravel out of his injuries I'm looking at what pads/protection are available for kids.

I've seen small/youth size 661 veggie knees but does anyone have any other recommendations ?

Fox do kids pads, had some for our girls and they were like mini grown up ones

My lad had 661's, just be aware that they'll grow out of them real quick.

There's a set of wrist, knee and elboboe pads in Hallifrauds going for a tenner. Seem OK for my 7 year old.
