Which is better for a beginner: rollerblades or skates?

For children under 5, roller skates are almost always better. The 4 wheels in a square give much more stability. Children from 5-6 years old who can already cycle well can start inline skates straight away. Most important: protection included!

Do Champz rollerblades and roller skates fit the same size?

Yes, both use the same sizing system and are adjustable in 4 sizes. Measure foot length and choose the size group where the current size falls in the middle. The same protection sets fit both products.

Can my child switch from roller skates to inline skates?

Absolutely! Roller skates are a perfect stepping stone. Your child will learn to balance, brake and turn. The transition to rollerblades is then much faster - often within 1-2 sessions. Many parents in my shop do exactly this.

Which protection suits both rollerblades and skates?

The Champz protection sets (knee, elbow, wrist) work for both. They come in the same colours as the rollerblades and skates. A helmet is also highly recommended, especially for beginners. All in all, it gives your child maximum protection as well as confidence.

On average, how much do parents spend on rollerblades or rollerblades?

A good set of Champz rollerblades or skates costs between €40-60. Add to that a protective set (€20-30) and possibly a helmet (€20-30). Total €80-120 for a complete set that will last 2-3 seasons. Compare that to €30-40 per season for cheap rollerblades that break down every year!
