Skates with Helmet and Protective Gear: Complete Kids Kits

Kids skates sets with helmets, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards

Every set below includes a helmet.

Buying the safety gear with the skates saves you money and one more shopping trip. More importantly, your child is protected from the very first session. Every pair we sell comes with a helmet and pads if you choose the right option.

Which kids skates come with a helmet and pads?

All of our kids skates come with a helmet and pads when you choose the helmet and pads option for KSh 5,899. It adds a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards. Our LED light-up sets (KSh 8,499) always include a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads.

What each piece protects

  • Helmet: the head. It is the most important piece, because head injuries are the most serious kind.
  • Wrist guards: the wrists. Children put their hands out when they fall, so wrists take a lot of knocks.
  • Knee pads: the knees, which hit the ground in most forward falls.
  • Elbow pads: the elbows, which take the impact in sideways and backward falls.

Together, they let your child fall, get up and keep going. That is how skating is learned.

Why the gear option beats buying pieces

Buying the gear later is easy to put off. Choosing it with the skates removes that gap, so the gear arrives in the same box and goes on from day one.

It also costs much less. The helmet and pads option adds a helmet and six pads for KSh 400. Our kids skating helmet on its own costs KSh 1,750, so the option saves you more than KSh 1,300 on the helmet alone.

Wearing the gear properly

Gear only works when it fits and sits in the right place. Put the helmet on first and check it sits level, about two finger-widths above the eyebrows. Then the knee and elbow pads go on with the hard caps over the joints, and the wrist guards with the firm splint on the palm side. Our skating safety tips show each step.

Frequently asked questions

Do your skates come with a helmet?
Our skates come with a helmet when you choose the helmet and pads option for KSh 5,899. The LED sets always include one. Only the KSh 5,499 skates-only option comes without gear.
Which option includes the most protective gear?
The option with the most protective gear is the KSh 5,899 helmet and pads option. It includes a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards, and the inline skates also get a bag.
Can I buy a helmet separately?
You can buy a helmet separately for KSh 1,750, in pink or blue. It suits a second child or a child who already has skates. If you are buying skates too, the helmet and pads option is cheaper.
Do you sell knee and elbow pads on their own?
We do not list knee and elbow pads on their own. They come with the helmet and pads option on our skates, which adds a helmet and six pads for KSh 400.
Is the protective gear sized for children?
The protective gear is made for children, with adjustable straps. If you are unsure about the fit for a very young or very tall child, ask us on WhatsApp before you order.
Are wrist guards really necessary?
Wrist guards are necessary for young skaters, because they put their hands out to break a fall. The splint spreads the impact and protects the wrist.
Can the helmet be used for cycling too?
The helmet can be used for cycling too, as well as scooters and skateboards, as long as it fits snugly.
How do I clean the protective pads?
You clean the protective pads by wiping them with a damp cloth and mild soap, then drying them in the shade. Air them after every session so they stay fresh.
