Quad skates or inline skates?

quad skate it has 4 wheels like a skateboard but an inline skateboard has 4 wheels too. quad skate is more stable like a bike with training wheels but a inline skate is like a normal 2- wheel bike

quads. They're classic and easy to learn and its easy to get adjusted to being "on wheels". They have some that go over your sneaker for kids, that aren't as smooth as regular ones. I started out using those, but as I got older I moved on to regular skates. Maybe when your daughter is older she will try inline skates, but not to begin skating with.

I personally am partial to quad skates. And for a younger child, I think they are a better option, because: 1. More wheels = more balance 2. The wheels are flat on the botom, inline skates do not have flat wheels 3. Inline skates cover your ankle. There are many styles of quad skates that go onlike a sneaker and give your ankle room to move. There are also quad skates for kids that go over their shoes and adjust in size. Here some that I found at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Barbie-Roller-Skates-Size-J12/dp/B0009MARWU/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1196629474&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Princess-Toddler-Adjustable-Skates/dp/B000H104BM/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1196629474&sr=8-3 http://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Standard-Roller-Skate-Girls/dp/B0000CEMAQ/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1196629474&sr=8-2 http://www.amazon.com/Barbie-Adjustable-Inline-Skates-Size/dp/B0009MARWA/ref=pd_bbs_10?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1196629474&sr=8-10 http://www.amazon.com/Dora-Adjustable-Quad-Skate-Size/dp/B000MDVYSW/ref=pd_bbs_11?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1196629474&sr=8-11 I hope this helped - Good Luck! :o)

inline skates. you have more control in them than you do in quads.(well that's what i think) but make sure you a good pair of skates with plenty of ankle support.

quad are more stable i learnt in those but my daughter has learned in inline but i'm not convinced
