What is included in the Banwood Protective Gear set?
The Banwood Protective Gear set includes one pair of knee pads, one pair of elbow pads, and one pair of wrist guards. The full set is sold together as a 3-pack. All three pieces use the same colour and design, matching the aesthetic of the Banwood range. The set covers the main impact points for children learning to ride a scooter, bike, or skateboard.
What age is the Banwood Protective Gear suitable for?
The Banwood Protective Gear is suitable for children aged 3 and above. The knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards are one-size with adjustable fastenings, designed to fit a range of sizes across the toddler and primary school years. For the best fit, fasten the straps snugly but not tight enough to restrict movement or circulation. Check the fit regularly as your child grows.
Can the Banwood Protective Gear be used with scooters, bikes, and skateboards?
Yes. The Banwood Protective Gear is designed to work with the full Banwood range, including the Eco Scooter, Vintage 3-Wheel Scooter, Maxi Scooter, Balance Bike, Classic Bicycle, Trike, and Skateboard. It covers the standard impact points for wheeled play and is not limited to one product type. The set provides the same protection whether the child is on a scooter, bike, or board.
How do you care for the Banwood Protective Gear?
Wipe the pads with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Do not machine wash or submerge the pads. Allow to air dry away from direct heat. Check the fastenings regularly and replace the set if any straps or closures become damaged. The pads should not be used if the padding has deteriorated or the fastenings no longer hold securely.
How should the Banwood Protective Gear be fitted?
Knee pads should sit centred over the kneecap with the padding covering the knee fully when the leg is bent. Elbow pads should sit centred over the elbow with the padding covering the joint when the arm is bent. Wrist guards should sit flat against the palm side of the wrist, extending over the back of the hand. All three pieces fasten with adjustable straps. Fasten firmly enough to stay in place during movement, but not so tight as to restrict blood flow or feel uncomfortable.
