When he was still a toddler, I used to bring my son to the village park for our afternoon walks. He loved watching people walking their dogs. He also liked sitting beside the lane where roller skating kids usually pass by. I was not surprised that by the time he was six, he wanted to have roller skates of his own.
Of course, being a mom, I was very worried about accidents. But my husband assured me that he would teach our son how to be a responsible skater. We bought him a pair of roller skates and safety accessories. The first afternoon he got to try them on and take them out for a spin, my little boy obviously enjoyed his new found activity.

When I was shopping around for a gift for my 9 year old nephew, getting a pair of skates for him never crossed my mind. But when I saw in a store display a pair of skates with a lighted skate wheel on each skate, I knew I had to get one for him. Looking at these wheels’ spinning lights while in motion is something else. For me, it gave the illusion that the skater was skating on lights! I promptly made the purchase and I was glad I did.
The store I went to gave me the option of personalizing the wheels. I could choose what color I wanted. And I could even put different colors for each wheel! This was a really great touch as I got to pick the colors I think my nephew would like. I liked the skates so much I bought one for myself as well!

Living in New York City can be very exciting. It can also be very tiring and expensive. If you live in New York, you often have to walk a lot. If you don’t like to walk, you can always take the subway or the bus. When I lived in the city for two years, I got my son a skater bud so he wouldn’t complain about all the walking we had to do.
A skater bud is a set of wheels which you can attach to a child’s sneakers. This is sort of a cross between the roller skates back in the 70s and the roller blades of the 90s. Roller skates were bulky and heavy; they were strapped on the bottom of sneakers. Rollerblades are shoes that have blades with tiny wheels in them. With roller skates you can stand straight and not tip over, standing on roller blades is like standing on ice skates.

It was year 2002 when I stayed in my cousin’s Manhattan apartment for three months. He was away for the summer and allowed me to use his place. He told me to help myself to anything. So one day out of boredom I put on his rollerblades and attempted to skate in Central Park. I took my two nephews with me to the park so we could all enjoy a day out in the sun. As soon as I began rollerblading, I managed to fall, crash into some bushes and nearly fell over an old lady all within a span of 20 minutes. My two nephews who were toddlers back then kept on laughing at me. Just last week, my nephews who have grown to pesky kids showed me their new skater buds.
Skater buds is the latest evolution in roller skates. It is not a shoe with wheels, and it is not heavy and bulky. The straps are adjustable in size so that they can fit your child’s shoe as he or she grows. They also come with colorful wheels which you can remove and replace with lighted skate wheels. Skater buds are ideal for children 8 years old and a who above who do not weigh more than 150 lbs. The child must have a keen sense of balance. Skater buds should always be worn with a helmet, knee and shoulder pads for protection.
