Baby knee pads, do you think there worth buying???????

Hello everyone :0)

I have been looking at purchasing those baby knee pads for my little dd as she has just started crawling and noticed her her little knees are getting red. Do you think they are worth buying or are they just a waste of money? My DH thinks they may be a waste to buy as he thinks she will start walking soon and not need them for long. I personally think it might be a while till shes walking and off her knees as she has just started crawling, but I've been wrong before

Thanks for reading and let me know what you personally think, I've already bought so many things for her that have been a waste of money lol :D

Personally I think they are a waste of money, babies have been crawling for such a long time without needing knee pads. If you thing her knees are getting sore though then they might be worth getting. My ds's knees were always red after crawling around but he never seemed bothered.

Their knees were made for crawling (hence no knee caps) so personally I think they are a waste of time.

We have a concrete floor and floorboards and DD has coped fine so yep, I wouldn't bother. Personally, I'd be more interested in a crash helmet though we've only had very minor bumps on the concrete floor. Babies are pretty clever!

Yep I agree, I think that they would be a waste of money. Plus the skin on their knees toughens up I imagine. I didn't even know they sold them!

I reckon they would be more annoying because you would be picking her up all the time, she would be sitting up etc, if anything, I would think that they would get in the way!

I think they are a waste of money. DS knees get red but don't seem to bother him. I think if I put knee pads on him they would bother him more then the red knees.

I was umming and arring over getting some of these too...DH talked me out of it...

I am glad I didnt buy any!:redface:

get some very cute "babylegs" instead - leg warmers for babies, that keep their legs warm and stop the scratches but still let them toughen up ;) Plus they are WAY, WAY cute - you could have a ladybug on the move!

:0) I think you guys have helped me save $20-$30 :0)

Hi, If you are worried about her knees just pop some light cotton pants on..

Hi aussienic :) I was just thinking that long pants would do the job, thanks for that! I'm about 30mins out of Maryborough, only moved to QLD in January from perth. I think this state has the best weather. I don't think I'm a big fan of Maryborough itself though, I quite like Hervey Bay thats about 40mins from me. Where abouts is Gladstone, I've heard the name before, but have no idea where that is :0)

ugh I am so not liking the weather this week but winter time it is just superb...

Gladstone is about 2-3 hours from where you are ( I think) maybe 3-4 hours..

I love Hervey Bay.. It is just so nice. I love that jetty lol..

I agree, a waste of money.... good grief! $20 - $30!!! Geeze what a rip off!

Living in Nth QLD ( well used to anyway)and Darwin I used stubby holders... just take the bottom of them and put them over the knee... I would use them if I was going to playgroup and knew baby would be on concreat....

BTW we love HVB BHL wants to move there next year but I am thinking of the sunshine coast as I know there wasnt much in HVB as in Playgrups and things....

aussienic That Jetty at hervey bay is so big, if I lived there I would walk it pushing the pram at least once a week, i would probably lose weight that way lol.

Hi Bathsheba It is a rip off isn't it! I'm glad I didn't buy any now :0)

Just spoke to my mum and she said that her friend used bigger size socks and cut the toe-ends off as knee protection. I thought that was a good idea

Hi tali I use to live in Darwin, I was born there and grew up there. I only left 3 years ago and moved to Perth. Perth got too expensive and the weather there was depressing, so after my little baby dd was born I moved here and I am so happy. Darwin is just to hot and there was nothing to do unless you loved fishing.

Sunshine Coast is really nice. Sometimes I wish I lived closer to the cities, out here can be a bit lonely and there is no good shopping centres close by.

I agree with Kazbah...google "babylegs" they are soooo cute!!

You werent a Army brat by any chance were you :p sorry so many people are in Darwin because of the Defence its was why we were there... Darwins a funny place I couldnt wait to leave it but wanted to return as soon as we did... ( we move there 3 times ) As with Cairns you just get sick of the build up makes you go crazy....I am with you BHL wants lots land at HVB, But as much as I liked it there when we went I dont know if I could move there as I know there is many playgroups or mums groups to go to.... So thats why I have been thinking sunshine coast.... closer to the airport aswell...
