Should I allow my child to wear Heelys in the store or at school?

Pat Hines (Traffic Safety Educator & Executive Director, SafeMoves) gives expert video advice on: How can my child be injured while wearing Heelys?; How can my child stay safe while wearing Heelys? and more...

A lot of the 'Heelys' are very popular and you will see them in the mall, you will see them on sidewalks. You wouldn't let your child ride in the mall with rollerblades or a skateboard; don't let them them ride in a mall with the Heelys on. The mall surface is very slick, there's escalators in the mall, there's no way a child can safely be in a mall with 'Heelys' on their feet. They should not be worn as shoes.
