I purchased this set for my son's 5th birthday. It was a great price for the board plus all the safety gear (helmet, knee and elbow pad, and wrist guards). My son really liked it. The pads are small, perfect for a 5-6 year old. The helmet is a little large, but still stays on his head fine when the straps are tightened down. I am happy with the quality of the pads and board, but the helmet is pretty cheaply made. But for the price, the helmet is sufficient.
I don't think my son will be good at skateboarding for a long time, but he likes to play with it. The biggest advantage is that he can use the pads and helmet on his bike and scooter too!
The product features and image indicate "one helmet, one pair of knee pads and one pair of elbow pads." I was a little disappointed to only receive one pair of pads that could be used for either knee or elbow. I guess the picture does say more to what you are actually getting. Other than that, it has been a great product.

The pads that come in this combo are pretty much worthless. The velcro closure is rather small making adjustments limited. Thus they slip and slide a lot. One of the pads ripped from its rivet on the first day with no abuse. The first time my son fell the strap for one of the pad nearly ripped all the way through. These pads might provide protection if you fall over while standing still, but I would recommend getting some thing more durable if you really want to protect your kid. I would have given a one star rating but the helmet is pretty good.
I was hesitant about buying this because my son will just be 4 when he is able to use it, but it turns out that it is not too big. It is a little oversized, but I'm sure that not only will he grow into it quickly, but it will be a helmet that he can wear for a long time. The velcro pads inside the helmet (for adjusting the fit-pads - if you need them) were not glued on very well, but your own bottle of super glue can quickly fix that.
For a $30 helmet, it seems good enough. The size can be adjusted for both the chin straps and the back of the head. The only knock I have on it is that the extra pads that come with it don't stick well at all. They even fall out when I am wearing the thing (not sure how that happens). I ended up super gluing the remaining pads inside the helmet.
My kids love the pack. I bought two and my daughters both think they are very stylish so they are much more likely to wear them. They were easy to fit and they are easy to clean. I wish that the velcro straps on the knee pads were a little wider so that they didn't slide down as easily. Other than that.... fabulous
This one fits pretty snug,, If ur size of d head is 22" - 24" you dnt have to have any fears,, Moreover the package includes some cool stickers where u can spruce up ur helmet. Super fast shipping
We bought the Giro me too helmet for our son who was 6 months old. It came with a few extra pads so we added them to the top to make the helmet sit a little higher on his head. It fits great, doesn't drop while riding, and he doesn't mind having it on. It is easily adjustable with the knob on the back. The straps were a little bit of work to get the initial fit but they will stay in place. It will grow with him and is of good quality so it was worth not getting a "dome of obedience" from wal mart. It was worth paying a little more to get a nice helmet to keep my son safe.
