KirstyGee1978 Posted July 4, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hi everyone Just wondered what is the minimum age that a child can use the ice rink/ hire ice skates? Thanks! Kirsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted July 5, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2009 The smallest skate size they give out are a children's size 2--that's US sizes. So if your child has smaller feet, then there's no skating available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patsfan3 Posted July 6, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I think it is 3,we had our own skates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygirl Posted July 7, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Are they boot style skates? Do they fit true to shoe size? My 5 year old son is currently wearing size 12.5 US shoes and his hockey style skates are size 10(a bit tight). If they fit true to shoe size, one size larger would be fine if we just layered some socks on him. We are not going til August. We are flying, so packing light is important. Thanks for any advise.

Is a toddler shoe size 5/6 bigger than a child size 2? (You know how kids clothes go "up to" one size and then switch back to smaller sizes once they hit teens...do shoes sizes do that too?) Will my DS be able to skate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted July 7, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 7, 2009 My son was 4.5 years old, wearing a toddler size 9 shoe, and went skating. They had small skates there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack2 Posted July 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My daughter was 4 on the LOS, Nov '08 Unfortunately, my wife knows what her shoe size is, I don't. The equipment is RCCL's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
