Protection for little scooterer arms and legs

They've got some here GranG www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=elbow+and+knee+pads+for+kids&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=7274192868&ref=pd_sl_43gt065vwc_b

I though Great Little Trading Company did them, but can't see any. Shame cos they've got 18% off today.

I do worry about little ones and scooters. My 3 year old GS is a menace on his and scoots down a very steep tarmac slope in their local park, with no protection at all. I worry about him getting a head injury (I used to work for a head injury service, so am a bit twitchy about this) - they do not put a crach helpemt on him. If he caught a stone under the wheels and went head over heels he could be seriously injured. D and SIL don't seem worried and obviously think I am a fuss pot - but I do not go with them to the park when this is happening, nor do I take him myself - I hope they take the point!

I'm not complacent about child safety, but didn't we have scooters when we were little? Didn't we run far more risks than we contemplate for our GC?

Not as fast as these modern ones Annobel. My GSs wear helmets but I worry about them getting too close to the road when they scoot to school.

I knew I'd seen some somewhere GranG.

Thank you everyone for your help. That is really great. I was really pleased to see that I was not the only one who is worried about the speed of these new scooters and must say, like Mishap, Grandad G and I are getting to the stage where we won't go out with the girls on their scooters - can't keep up and they become deaf to our entreaties to slow down or stop.
