Inline Skates for Kids in Kenya

Kids inline skates with helmets and protective pads

Inline skates have one row of wheels. They glide further and turn more smoothly than quad skates, so they suit children who already have some balance and want more speed. You can buy most of them as skates only, or with a helmet and pads for KSh 400 more.

  • 5 styles
  • Helmet and pads option
  • S, M, L: EU 31 to 42
  • KSh 5,499 to 8,499

What to look for in kids inline skates

Four things matter more than the colour:

  1. Adjustable sizing. Children's feet grow fast. Every pair we sell extends across three to five shoe sizes, so it lasts a year or more.
  2. Ankle support. A hard outer shell holds the ankle upright. Soft, floppy boots make young skaters roll their ankles inward.
  3. Protective gear from day one. A helmet and pads in the same order means no gap between buying the skates and skating safely.
  4. Something your child loves. A favourite character, colour or light-up wheels gets a child back on their skates.

All five of our inline skates tick the first three boxes, as long as you pick the helmet and pads option. The fourth depends on your child's confidence.

Are inline skates right for a beginner?

Inline skates can be a first pair, but they ask for more balance than quads. A child who rides a bicycle without stabilisers, or who has tried quad skates before, usually adapts within a few sessions. A child who has never balanced on wheels will wobble more at first.

So for a complete beginner, especially under age 6, we usually suggest quad skates for kids first. Our inline vs quad skates guide explains the trade-off in more detail.

Inline skate sizes

Inline skates Size ranges
All five inline skates S: EU 31–34, M: EU 35–38, L: EU 39–42

Each size is adjustable. Pick the one that includes your child's shoe size today. If they sit at the top of a size, take the next one up. For feet smaller than EU 31, start on quad skates, which begin at EU 26. The kids skates size guide shows how to measure a foot at home.

Inline skates: common questions

Are rollerblades the same as inline skates?
Rollerblades and inline skates are the same type of skate. Rollerblade is a brand name, and many people use it for any skate with one row of wheels.
What age can a child start on inline skates?
A child can start on inline skates from about age 5 or 6, once they have good balance. Younger children and complete beginners usually find quad skates easier for the first few weeks.
Do your inline skates come with a helmet?
Our inline skates come with a helmet when you choose the helmet and pads option, which costs KSh 5,899. That option adds a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards. The LED light-up sets always include a helmet and pads.
What is the cheapest inline skates for kids?
The cheapest inline skates for kids in our shop cost KSh 5,499. The Spider-Man, Pink Princess and Blue Adventure skates all start at that price. For KSh 400 more, they come with a helmet and six pads.
Are LED inline skates worth the extra money?
LED inline skates are worth the extra money if the lights will get your child skating more often. They also have a high-cut padded boot and come boxed with a helmet and pads. If the lights do not matter, the KSh 5,899 kits give you skates and gear for less.
Can my child move from quad skates to inline skates?
Your child can move from quad skates to inline skates once they glide, stop and turn with confidence on quads. Most children find the switch takes a few sessions, because the balance point is narrower.
Where can kids use inline skates in Kenya?
Kids can use inline skates on smooth concrete, tarmac and tiled surfaces in Kenya, such as a paved compound, driveway or quiet court. Avoid murram, gravel and roads with traffic.
How fast is delivery for inline skates?
Delivery for inline skates takes about 3 hours in Nairobi, for KSh 700, and about 24 hours to other towns through your chosen courier. In Nairobi and nearby towns, you pay after the skates arrive.
