Expert Reviews

Buying the Ookkie safety gear was a bit frustrating. While the quality was great, the sizing is confusing. The company sells sizes XS and S but does not provide any dimensions or age guidelines, so customers are left guessing which size to buy. It’s also difficult to distinguish between knee and elbow pads, which should be labeled. We spoke to father, Diego to learn a bit more about Lika's journey with the Ookkie. Here's what they had to say. What was your reason for getting an Ookkie? Yes. Every day, especially in Lika's school. Parents are always asking us, "Where did you buy it?", "Can I take a picture of the brand?" and "Is she afraid to ride it?". After a short while we saw Lika's balance and fine motor skills improve tremendously. How has the Ookkie become a part of your family life and routine?

It is important that the straps are adjusted to a secure yet comfortable tightness. When tightened you should not be able to move the pads up, down, left or right. If not correctly tightened, they may move whilst in use. To ensure you have not tightened them too tight make sure to do a few flexes with your child’s legs and arms and make sure there are no pressure points or pinching. Skateboards also come in different shapes. What is right for you will depend on your own personal preference. If you’re new to skateboarding, opt for trying out a few different kinds, starting with a conventional shape. This will help you determine what works for you. Some skateboarders find that the bigger the concave in the shape, the easier the board is to flip.For the perfect fit of your knee pads, grab a soft measuring tape and measure the circumference of your leg above and below the knee. Turning is an issue with the Ookkie. Parents are unable to turn using the parent handle. When my daughter shifted her weight from her toes to her heels, there was a slight turn, but this is a tough concept for a lot of kids to grasp and only resulted in a slight veering. The Ookkie is great for going straight, but taking your child on a walk with several turns could be a pain.
