Was headed on a trip that involved lots of walking for my kids. A friend recommended these. I liked that these have double wheels on each side, which makes it much easier to learn to do. My 9-year-old caught on very quickly, and it was a lifesaver! She wheeled all around the airport as well as at the hotel. My 7-year-old has had a harder time catching on. Not sure why. I haven't been concerned about my daughter falling, although I certainly see the potential for injury (especially as they are learning). We aren't doing any tricks or anything. :)

While I heard these ran small (and, indeed, we had an old pair of lace-up heelys), with these velcro ones, we actually got the actual size my kids wear in regular shoes. They fit great, and they were off an running in no time.

A great way for the kids to get some exercise that is fun!
