Who makes the teeniest tinyest knee/shin guards? This is prolly going to take someoone with experience trying to fit their own kids. I'm looking around the internet for kids gear. Most of it is for "normal sized" kids. And LBS's near me do not carry stuff small enough. But my 4yr old has decided he likes scaring the crap out of his mother. So I need to pad him up. He just rode his 16" bmx bike down a hill that 2 adult mtb riders went around. I'm half proud, and half feeling guilty for letting him do this. But it's all he wants to do every day. So the best thing I can do is wrap him up in 60lbs worth of safety gear. Any advice from dads who have been in my shoes?????

P.S. anyone try those Fox Launch shorties on a kid? Are the straps adjustable enough to cinch down on tiny legs???

I looked at their titan kids knee/shins. They fit my 9 yr old. But not my 4yr old. hmmm... soccer equipment?

Have seen people fit wrist/elbow guards as knee/shins.

Other alternative will be skate knee pads with soccer shin guards.

I bought Thor Mx knee/shin pads for my boy when he just turned 4. He is still wearing them at 6. They were a bit long to go into MX boots when he was 4 but they were perfect for the bicycle. Now, they are a little short for the bicycle but perfect for MX.

I think I paid $10-15 at the local MX shop. The Fox peewee pads are pretty nice too.

661 has some very small pads.

Soccer shin guards and size small elbow guards as knee pads.>?

Think about this... Some people have their 5 year olds racing motocross. I am sure they pad their little kids up. So go to a local motocross store and ask what they have.
