[Ad-gifted] Rollerblading or inline skating is such a fun sport and a great way to keep fit for adults and a great way to get children out and about. This year, with the summer being non-existent, we made good use of every dry day and sunshine by heading out for a walk, to the skate park or enjoying time in the garden.
As my children get older, I find that it is hard to get them away from their computer and gadget hence I am always looking for toys, games and outdoor activities to keep them screen-free for a good few hours. Today we are reviewing two inline skates from skates.co.uk which is a great way to keep kids entertained outdoors.
Keep on reading to find out more about these skates and where you can purchase them.
SFR Pulsar Silver Adjustable Inline Skates
The SFR Pulsar Adjustable Inline Skates is a great for beginners as it features a super light aluminium chassis and ABEC 7 bearings. The size adjuster means that it is great for growing children as it will fit UK Size 3 to 6 all via a push button adjuster.
The skates features high grip and quality PU (Polyurethane) skate wheels for maximum responsiveness when skating. Easy to put on and remove, the skates comes with powerstrap over a Laced Boot with Cam Lever Buckle.
Roller Derby Aerio Q-60 Inline Skates
The Roller Derby Aerio Q-60 is an advanced level, semi soft boot Inline Skates. Available in UK Size 5 to 9, the skates comes with simple foam padded which allows the wearer to ride with complete comfort whilst learning to in-line skate for the first time.
The skates has low centre gravity, allowing easy balance and comes with quality PU (Polyurethane) skate wheels for maximum responsiveness when skating. The inline skate frame is made from Aluminium Tri-Coil Frame and it comes with Velcro Powerstrap over a Laced Boot with Cam Lever Buckle.
What did we think of it?
Both my children found that the inline skates are easier to skate with compared to traditional quad roller skates. Learning to skate with inline skates also helps tremendously with their balance and therefore they found ice-skating easier. My daughter was straight at it while my son needed to hold on at the start and was fine skating his own after.
My 13-year-old daughter picked the Roller Derby Aerio Q-60 Inline Skates, we choose a slightly bigger fit (UK Size 5) for her as she is UK Size 4.5 but the skates are a perfect fit with the socks on. This is a fixed size beginners’ skates but the semi soft boot was comfy for her and it the low centre of gravity in the skates gave it more stability. The skates are stylish and super easy to get on thanks to its Velcro Powerstrap and Lever Buckle.
My 10-year-old son picked the SFR Pulsar Silver Adjustable Inline Skates, these are adjustable inline skates perfect for him as he is at a stage where his feet keep on growing constantly at the moment. The skates are comfortable, light and offers a good grip, they also have a push button adjuster. The skates are comfortable to use.
My children have enjoyed heading to the local skate park during summer months and in the last few weeks whenever we have had lovely weather. Would totally recommend getting these inline skates if your child has been struggling with the quad skates or planning to do some ice-skating in the future.

My daughter would love these. All she wants to do is rollerblade. I’ll have to keep these in mind for her birthday.
Yes of course, a great idea
My daughter LOVES her rollerblades. She has them constantly – even if we are just at home – lol.
How lovely, so glad she loves them
Wow! When I was a kid I wanted to have skaters, but my Mother didn’t want to. Seeing this SFR Pulsar & Roller Derby Aerio Q-60 Inline Skates miss my kid’s day.
It is never too late to learn to skate
I never had roller blades or skates as a kid, maybe that’s why I don’t have the best balance haha. They look like good sets for the kids x
A great set for kids, they make good gifts as well
Inline skating is not only a fantastic way to stay active but also a great way to encourage kids to embrace the outdoors. It’s wonderful to see how you’re finding ways to keep your children engaged and screen-free. These inline skates sound like a fantastic addition to outdoor fun!
Yes they are a great way to keep fit and to help them ice-skate as well
I always wish I had the balance for ice skating and rollerblading haha it looks like so, so much fun! A great outdoor activity for the whole family.
Agree, such a great way to get kids out of the house
I haven’t gone skating in years but this post reminded me how much I loved it. I’ll have to get back into it soon. Loved the info you shared here–you’ve inspired me to check out some skates soon.

I’ve never had a pair of inline skates before. These sound and look like a really cool brand!

I love the look of these skates. They look like they would give plenty of support for the kids whilst skating. I need to check out the website as they’re great as gifts.

My nephew needed good skates and this one looks really very good. I like the style and I am sure my nephew will love it.
Glad to hear that Khushboo
I use to roller skate as a kid, so purchased those same yellow skates, but am not as brave as I was as a child! It’s great to see your children learning to skate.
Thank you, yes they found it easier to rollerblade then to skate
I haven’t been rollerblading in ages. These look like great skates! It would be fun to try rollerblading again sometime.
Yes indeed, great way to keep in shape as well
My kids would love something like this, they sound fun for autumn walks around the park

Rollerblading is so much fun and such a great way to get outdoors and be active! I’ve not rollerbladed in years but would if I had a pair so these look great and are going on the list – for the kids and myself!
