I'm not sure if I should buy my 9 year old a junior size or adult size? Any ideas?

Get your 9 year old junior size, because they'll fit better and will look better then oversize one on tiny wrist's, elbow's and knee's.

Sizing: Provided by Rollerblade, should be used as a guideline and may differ based on body type - Based on height Small = shorter then 155 cm (approx 5 ft) Medium = 155 - 170 cm (5 ft to 5 ft 6 in) Large = 170 - 180 cm (5 ft 6 in to 6 ft) XL = 180 cm and up (taller then 6 ft)

I purchased the small for my 9 year old and the medium for my 16 year old. Hope that helps.

Given that I have only bought one size, and I am a fully grown adult, it's difficult for me to recommend which one you should pick for your son. But, I did scan through the reviews to see which ones mention buying smaller sizes for their children. I came across a few that would at least come close to your son's statistics. The first one I found was bought for a 9 year old who was "Very tall" for her age, and they got her a medium. The reviewer said that if you buy a size perhaps slightly bigger than you were hoping for, the outfit comes with several straps that wrap around the waist and legs that can tighten it. (which I can confirm is true.) The only part that I've ever found to be loose is the upper chest region. I can't even seem to get that region to stay tucked in when I move around too much in the outfit. Also, another reviewer bought this for her 13 year old son who was 5'7 and 120 pounds and chose large. She said it was "a tad loose, but not too long." This is probably the example you were looking for, so listen carefully: Given the fact that you son is the same age as hers, and is both shorter and weighs less than her son, Medium might be a wiser choice - but remember I can't confirm that, I've never bought or tried any other side except for XL. At any rate, I think whether you pick medium or large everything will be fine. The medium might fit perfectly, and the large, if you decided to get that one, would at least be really comfortable, nonrestrictive to motor functions, and more importantly; he'd be able to continue using it as he ages and grows. So either decision you make I think you'll find good things about either of them. Hope I was of help.

The ProTec Jr fits my strong built 8 year old son (size8) perfectly. My super tall, super thin 9 year old son (size 12slim) wears adult small, but pads are a bit too big so they slip. He often puts on jr size as small as they look because they do not slip. He will be wearing adult small for a few years.

i bought 2 of these, 1 was a med for my 9 year old, 1 was a xxs for my 4 year old, the sleeves are a bit long on the xxs but other whys fits great, if you want 2 years use and your child is more on the 6/7 size i would go with the small!!

Unless your child has Quasimodo wrists from Hunchback of Notre Dame, I would order the child size. The idea is to keep pressure on the wrist. The adult size would be too loose and defeat the purpose.

I would get the small, my 9 year old is 4'9" and wears a size 12 pant and the large size of these fit him well. I do have to say I sent these pants back, though, the pads are very thin and seem to offer little in the way of protection from any substantial impact. I went with an Under Armour pant for this season and have been happy with Nike in the past as well.

These are too large for a 9 year old boy. They are slightly too large for me. I think I got the large, a size smaller wouldnt have hurt.

Most adults wear a large if your around 5'9" or above I would go with a large or x - large the smaller ones are more for teens and kids . Hope this helps.

I have a very thin 11-year-old and the small was pretty tight on her bare knees. I'm not sure what size your nine-year-old is. I'm guessing if she is very small then she could probably wear these over her pants.

I would go with a medium. The small would probably work for your 9# but it might be a uncomfortable for the taller one

Hi there.... I believe you would want to go with the size 'small'. Only because the small says it fits size 12-1. They are adjustable to help the kids grow into them, which I thought was very clever. Good luck to you.

I think it would be depend on the size of your child. Some are taller that others etc. Also, if he has any growth spurts at 10 or 11, he could quickly outgrow the bike. I don't mean to over complicate my answer. The short answer is yes, a 9 yr old would be a good fit (unless he is very tall).

I bought my 7 year old who is petite as well the junior size. She is now 8.5 years old and still wears them and they are great. On the tag it just says junior one size. Hope that helps.

If it's still a juvenile (under a year) I would go with Small but eventually it will grow into the Large as an adult. When mine were young, I just bought the biggest and they grew in to it.

The jr. size is much smaller, more suited for a toddler. The larger size will fit children for many more years.

The cups and ear tightness would be perfect for a 9 year old, but there might be some extra room around the headband. If the child isn't fussy about hats fitting perfectly around the skull then it will be fine.
