   No RIght Sizes for Small Children!

   I bought the XS size for my 6 year old daughter. She will turn 7 this spring. She is a thin and very agile girl. The shorts are designed to be worn under the jeans, they are thin and not too bulky and, as other users stated, they protect well on impact, but unfortunately XS size turned to be so big that I can literary put them on my own (far from being petite) adult butt. I might have kept them for myself, but the problem is that protection pads when I put the shorts on myself are not exactly on the anatomical locations of the bony prominences because my butt does overstretch the fabric. I wear size 4 and I might eventually lose a few pounds to wear them comfortably or wait another 7 years in hope she won’t quit skating by that time and will be wearing them when she grows up to their size. There is no way she can wear them under her clothes now or in the next 2-3 years. On a six year old child they look like a parachute even if you put them on top of super bulky winter stuffed pants. They might fit her well when she turns 12 or 14 or let’s say becomes morbidly obese before she hits her puberty.
   Long story short: I believe XS size shots are big enough to fit an adult who wears sizes 0-2. I talked to Pavel and I was told that unfortunately no other brand makes any smaller versions of crush pants for kids. This is really a pity because most kids start rollerblading and skating much earlier in their lives and they do need to be protected from trauma now.
