Plastic skateboards for kids: a first board to learn on
A plastic skateboard is a practical choice for anyone taking their first steps on a board. This selection brings together INDIGO kids' skateboards in PVC and PU, in sizes of 56.5*15 cm and 43.18*12.7 cm, so you can match the size to how confident your child is on a board.
When you're starting out, a few stumbles and bumps are normal, and that's where a plastic skateboard comes in handy: it's easy to carry around and easy to control while your child builds balance. If you'd like to compare with other wheeled models, take a look at scooters and skateboards.
How to choose the right plastic skateboard
- Size: the 43.18*12.7 cm model is the most compact, while the 56.5*15 cm boards give more room to place the feet.
- Material: there are PVC and PU options in the 56.5*15 cm size, so compare both product pages before deciding.
- Your child's level: if they've barely stood on a board before, start with a simple kids' PVC or PU skateboard that's easy to control.
- Gear: complete your purchase with a helmet and pads from the safety section.
To protect their hands in a fall, a pair of kids' cycling gloves can be a good addition. As your child grows or gains confidence, you can think about moving up to a bigger board.
