Quad Skates for Kids in Kenya: 4-Wheel Roller Skates

Kids quad skates with four wheels in pink, blue and red

Quad skates are the classic 4-wheel roller skates, with two wheels at the front and two at the back. That wide base keeps a child steady while they learn to stand, push and stop. So for young children and first-time skaters, quads are the gentlest start.

  • 4 styles
  • From KSh 5,499
  • XS, S, M: EU 26 to 38
  • Best for beginners

Why quad skates suit young and first-time skaters

Balance is the hardest part of learning to skate. Quad skates make it easier in three ways:

  • A wider base. Two rows of wheels spread the weight, so a child can stand still without tipping.
  • Slower first glides. Quads feel calmer underfoot at low speed, which is where beginners spend most of their time.
  • Small sizes. Our quads start at EU 26, so younger children can start too.

As a result, most children feel in control sooner on quads. That early success keeps them coming back.

Skates only, or with a helmet and pads?

All four pairs cost the same. The only choice is whether you need gear:

You have... Best option Price
No helmet, no pads Skates + helmet and pads KSh 5,899
A helmet and pads that fit Skates only KSh 5,499

Then pick the style your child likes. The Pink Princess skates close with straps and buckles. The pink adjustable and blue skates use laces, a strap and a buckle. And the red skates close with straps and buckles, like the Pink Princess pair.

Quad skate sizes

Quad skates Size ranges
All four quad skates XS: EU 26–30, S: EU 31–34, M: EU 35–38

Every pair extends across its size. Children with feet bigger than EU 38 can move up to inline skates, which go to EU 42. Measure your child's foot from heel to longest toe and use our kids skates size guide to pick the right one.

When to move up to inline skates

Some children stay on quads for years and love them. Others want more speed once they can glide, stop and turn. If your child is asking to go faster, or keeps up easily with friends on inline skates, it may be time for inline skates for kids.

Because our quads adjust across several sizes, a younger brother or sister can take over the old pair. That way, nothing goes to waste.

Quad skates: common questions

Are quad skates the same as roller skates?
Quad skates are the classic roller skates, with two wheels at the front and two at the back. In Kenya, people also call them 4-wheel skates, double-row skates or simply skating shoes.
What age are quad skates for?
Quad skates suit children from about age 4 or 5, depending on foot size and balance. Our quad skates start at EU 26, which fits a foot of about 16 cm.
Are quad skates easier than inline skates?
Quad skates are easier than inline skates for most beginners, because the wider wheel base is steadier at low speed. Inline skates become easier to control once a child has good balance and wants speed.
Which quad skates come with a helmet?
All four of our quad skates come with a helmet when you choose the helmet and pads option for KSh 5,899. That option also adds knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards. The skates-only option costs KSh 5,499.
How does a child stop on quad skates?
A child stops on quad skates with simple moves such as the plough stop: feet wide, toes turned in, knees bent. Our guide on how to stop on skates walks through each method, from easiest to hardest.
Can quad skates be used outside?
Quad skates can be used outside on smooth concrete, tarmac and paved paths. They also work indoors on tiles. Rough murram and gravel are not suitable for any skates.
Can a 4-year-old use quad skates?
A 4-year-old can use quad skates if their feet fit our smallest size, EU 26 to 30, and they walk and run with good balance. Keep sessions short and stay close for the first few weeks.
Can I pay for quad skates on delivery?
You can pay for quad skates on delivery in Nairobi and nearby towns, by cash or M-Pesa, after you have checked the skates. Outside Nairobi, you pay by M-Pesa once the skates are at your chosen bus office or courier, before we release them.
