Do people actually have their kids wear helmets and knee and elbow pads?

Yes. Since the skates can still slip out from under the kids, pads and a helmet are a great way to protect them. At the very least a helmet should be used.

Yes for sure. My granddauhter and grand niece tried out on livingroom carpet without them....but anywhere else they have to wear the protection, especially helmet.

yes absolutely use a helmet some children are more clumsier than others and you never want to risk hitting their head

Yes----they are inserted in a foam type setting--snug fit but allows helmets to be easily removed and replaced----my son will reset each week to match the actual NFL lineup. Pretty neat setup!

Yes I think so. My son is 5 and the gloves are the perfect fit. The pads are the perfect fit as well. :)

Probably. I put the elbow pads on my 2 year olds knees and they were even a little big. The knee pads went on my 5 year old and they were a little big as well. Also, they fell apart after 3 or 4 uses ... on both kids. Good luck.

Yes, There is a helmet for each team. Our son had some about 30 years ago that were much nicer but theseare ok.

To my knowledge...yes. My 6 yr old wears them and has never complained. We have purchased 3 pair and love them!

I bought this helmet for my daughter and it's great. I'm not sure if they do sell them but the goggles work great and they cover more of the face than you would think. My husband and I are avid harley riders and my daughter rides on the back of my husband bike and we haven't received a complaint yet.

No, but you would want to find good youth pads. Adult pads are too big. I have been real impressed with the quality of this gear. Even with having to buy separate knee savers.

The answer is a qualified yes. The jersey has pockets and two smallish fairly rigid "pads" are included that can be inserted in those pockets to simi-simulate pads. They are no where near even the most elemental of what could be considered padding. But, they do go along with the concept of the set and that is to allow youngsters to pretend. This is nothing more than a football "costume" and not actual football equipment. But, saying that, my grandson thinks this set is excellent and he gets to run around on Sunday's in the "uniform" smiling the entire time.

if they can fit into a 6 and 3/4 size hat. Something else to consider, does the five year old actually need to be protected? The protection of the helmet comes from the snug fit.

Its not something that you Need. I have seen 13 year olds wearing them. If he or she normaly tapes or has wrist problems then yes. But if they want it just to have it then no.

Yes they do! We had both kids and adults wearing them at our event and they fit adults a little better than kids but nonetheless they looked great on the kids too.

You can go to xenith.com and look over the sizing chart. IF your kid is in between sizes go larger. The Helmets run small due to the unique pads.

The helmet should fit fine, but the pads may be a little big. My 4 year old is the size of a 5 year old and there were slightly big on him, but they may work because they have velcro straps. I think they are worth a try.

Yes, they are! We never did use the hat...it was either too hot for the hat, or the hat was too big, or something. You do need to use the sash every time you use the wrap...it's part of the support system. It's also super handy as a changing pad and scarf!

The suggested age in the product description says 4-8 years. But I knew that my child was physically capable and purchased it at 2 1/2. We do enforce a helmet and knee/elbow pad rule when using it.
