Heelys for Kids and an awesome Heelys shoes GIVEAWAY

Blog· Competitions

19 Jun

I have often seen kids having an absolute blast on their shoes with wheels. I had never really thought much about Heelys until my eldest daughter started to ask for a pair of those “wheely shoes” as she called them. So I was really pleased when Skates.co.uk got in touch with us to chat about their range of Heelys for kids. We are always looking out for good outdoor activities that we can easily pack on our camper van road trips. Here is our Heelys shoes review – including an awesome Heelys giveaway for you!

AD | I have been or could be if you click on a link in this post compensated via a cash payment, gift or something else of value for writing this post. See our disclosure policy and privacy policy for more details.

So what are Heelys?

So firstly lets talk about Heelys. Heelys are shoes and roller skates rolled into one. Heelys offer the freedom to alternate between walking and skating by shifting the weight on your feet. You can also remove the wheels and they turn into normal shoes.

One or two wheel Heeleys?

When looking to buy your Heelys you will find the option of either one or two wheels. The two wheels are recommended for younger children and first time buyers, whereas the one wheel shoes are recommended for children who have good balance, as you can manoeuvre quicker and gain speed.

Heelys for kids come in a variety of colours and designs, so there is a style to suit everyone.

Heelys Classic X2 Shoes

The Heelys X2 range from Heelys have 2 wheels and feature bright colours. They have 2 wheels for learning and stability. They also arrive with free stickers.

The X2 plus also come with the iconic Heelys logo on the side to add to the style. The shoe comes with wheel plugs and a removal tool to convert your Heelys into normal shoes. We opted for the all-black trainer that has a white base and pink toe, with neon pink trimmings.

Where can you buy Heelys classic x2 shoes?

Heelys x2 classic range are currently £39.95 and are available to buy from skates.co.uk

Heelys for kids

We soon discovered that Heelys take a lot of practice. They may look easy to use, but even for a child with awesome balance they take time to get used to and navigate. I can see already that they are going to provide hours of fun! My 9 year old has wanted a pair for so long.

Heely safety tips:

We have some tips on how to get started with Heelys shoes – 

  • Maintain a safe environment and ride with safety equipment such as elbow and knee protectors and a helmet.
  • Make sure your helmet fits properly. Never wear straps that are loose.
  • Always keep your laces tied while skating for a smooth ride.
  • Use your toes (similar to riding roller skates when I was child). If you feel like you are going to lose your balance, move the weight to the toes
  • Practice braking to make sure you can stop at any time necessary.
  • Use an adult or friend when practising to help and hold on to!
  • Take your time. Be courteous and skate safely.

There are some fabulous resources and videos online to get you started and to help you to stay safe with Heelys.

We will continue to update this Heelys shoes review with more tips and thoughts as we navigate the world of skating and walking in Heelys shoes!

**Skates.co.uk recommend you order your normal shoe size in Heelys.**

🚐Vanlife with kids 🚐

I often get messages asking “where do you all sleep” and where did your toddler or baby  sleep in the camper ?

We bought our #t5 when our eldest was just 2, and we have had to adapt as our family has grown. We didn’t have the roof converted until much later so we tried a fair few sleeping options! 

I thought It might be helpful if I listed all of the sleeping options we have tried in our vwT5 because I often get questions about sleeping options with young kids.

⭐️Our new born baby slept in a sleepyhead in the camper as it was easily transportable and worked as  crib.

⭐️ We then found a deluxe travel cot that fit perfectly at the base of our rib bed and this worked from about 6 months 

⭐️We then moved on to a toddler inflatable air bed placed again at the bottom of our bed. We  found the toddler beds fit perfectly across the width of the van 

⭐️moving on we purchased a hammock that fitted over just the driver and passenger seat  and this worked great from about 3+

⭐️ Finally as our family grew... We  had our pop top roof added and the children slept well in the roof. We had a safety net fitted to the opening  of the roof and this allowed all our children to sleep in the roof safely and gave us some peace of mind - particularly as our son was young.

I’ve linked my post in my stories but do let me know if you have tried any other options that work for young children, particularly if you don’t have an elevating roof! Always here if I can help with anything or if you have any questions.

If it’s okay I’ll keep sharing the little bits in between, and of course our van life tips and tricks over the new year, until we can explore once again. 

Thanks for sticking with us - happy new year to my faves, lots of love and stay safe

It’s my last day of annual leave today. So we have spent the afternoon adding a few fairy lights to the MultiFlyer climbing frame - sprinkling a bit of magic and festive cheer out in the garden....

Moving on to the the camper next :) it definitely needs some fairy lights and a tree - Don’t you think? 🌲

For now I’m going to keep dreaming, planning, doing a bit of vanlife shopping and redesigning our campervan 😂 (so if any of you lovely vanlife peeps can share and tag me in a picture of your interiors I would be eternally grateful). 

Hey I may even get this dissertation done 🤣

If it’s okay I’ll keep sharing the little bits in between, and of course our van life tips and tricks over the new year, until we can explore once again. 

Thanks for sticking with us - happy new year to my faves, lots of love and stay safe

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and New year from Otis and Us xxx
Ad / We are still loving our @wickey climbing fram Ad / We are still loving our @wickey climbing frame, and so grateful to have this wonderful play area in our garden for the kids since the lockdown number two. 

It’s my last day of annual leave today. So we have spent the afternoon adding a few fairy lights to the MultiFlyer climbing frame - sprinkling a bit of magic and festive cheer out in the garden....

Moving on to the the camper next :) it definitely needs some fairy lights and a tree - Don’t you think? 🌲

If this year has taught us anything, it’s defini If this year has taught us anything, it’s definitely to not take anything for granted. To take each day as it comes and to enjoy the simple things in life, finding  joy in those ordinary moments. 

I don’t need reminding of this but family and friends are everything. As are good old hugs. (I miss hugs!) And plans. Blooming love a plan. 😍

So ill keep on bobbing on here if that’s okay? I’ll keep planning, writing about our campervan adventures and sharing our van life love and outdoor life. Because we have to have hope and we have to keep dreaming.... 

Hope you are all doing okay, sending a virtual hug if you need one this weekend. My inbox is ALWAYS open, always.
🚐 4 years! 🚐 4 years blogging!! Wowzers tha 🚐 4 years! 🚐

4 years blogging!! Wowzers that has flown by!! 

I’ve had lots of new followers lately so thought I would pop on and say hello and tell you a little bit about us.

I’m Katy and I am behind Otis and us travel blog. I started the blog during my maternity leave - really because I love taking photos and wanted  a place that the kids can look back on and to document our van life adventures. I  am a full time specialist nurse and also currently working on an MSc. I am a whirlwind and life is definitely jam packed but I wouldn’t have it any other way :) 

We love our beautiful T5!! We have made so many memories and taken some wonderful roadtrips over the years. We haven’t managed to get out in the van much this year, but hey I’ve still been dreaming ... hopefully next year🤞🏻🤞🏻

We have three free spirited kiddies who love nothing more than a road trip,  sleeping in the poptop roof, exploring, beach life and toasting marshmallows. 

Mr Otis and Us, what can I say? The chilled one who has so much patience😆. He drives the many miles, lives on coffee and never ever says no to my crazy road trips and ideas. 

So here we are - the Otis and Us tribe, popping on to say hi. 
 
Thank you so much for following along, for all your interaction and love. It means the world. I love to hear from you all, every message and every comment. Thank you 🙏🏻 

Hope you will stay with us for 2021 , 

Stay safe 

Katy xx 🌈
