How do I choose a safe skateboard for my child?

I think the best way to choose a safe skateboard for your child is take your child to the skateboard shop, let them check it out. See what their skills are. Talk to the skateboard sales clerk. They're usually very knowledgeable; it's usually the person selling the skateboard is a skateboarder themselves. But, go to a quality place to get a skateboard. You want to make sure that you are getting a skateboard that the components are well made, that it's a safe skateboard, and, that the wheels are going to roll smoothly on any kind of surface. So check it out, ask the right questions, educate yourself as a parent, go online, check out skateboards, all the different models, and skateboard safety. Really get to know skateboarding as though you were buying a car because, in essence, it's wheels for your child. So, check it out.
