If you want to read up on skateboards again, check out our checklist. You can find the best models in our product recommendations.
- Skateboards are suitable for children from the age of three.
- The width of the skateboard should be slightly smaller than the feet or shoes of your child are long. This ensures that protruding toes make it much easier to control.
- A skateboard for toddlers measures about 55 cm long by 15 cm wide. Skateboards for older children (from school age) are about 80 cm long and 15 to 22 cm wide.
- Mini boards, that is, skateboards for the little ones, are usually made of plastic. The surface should be roughened so that your child has a good grip while riding.
- Larger skateboards are made of maple wood, which is stable and elastic at the same time. Good boards are made of several layers of maple wood, which are glued together. There should be a grip tape glued on so that your child can stand safely on the board even when wet.
- For children, it is recommended to buy a set where the deck and the wheels are matched. Professionals put together the deck and the wheels individually .
- Both sides(nose and tail) of the deck ideally run upwards at a slight angle at the end. This allows your child to put one foot down and practice better. Also, there is no front or back on these models. Both sides look the same.
- Retro boards only have a high-curved tip at the back. In the front, the deck tapers to a point. These boards also come in toddler versions.
- Some children’s skateboards have reflective wheels through built-in lights to provide more visibility and safety. The wheels should be rather soft and run smoothly.
- Dusty trails should be avoided because of the delicate ball bearings. If your child rides on paved paths, they will enjoy their skateboard for a long time.
- Additional protective equipment should be purchased if necessary: Helmet and suitable protectors.
- Do not let your child ride unsupervised at first, as first attempts at skateboarding can be quite challenging.
