Course they could be used with kids too. This three wheeled “walker” is a “skaters coach” which teaches just about anyone willing to learn how to skate, skateboard or just about anything else where wheels are on your feet.

Made out of 40 pounds of steel roundbar, The “Skater’s Coach” it basically a tricycle that has no seat, but handle bars and brakes for quick stopping without taking a “header” in the process.

Check out the video of talking more about Skater’s Coach:

Now the downside is that while this is a valuable teaching aid for learning roller sports, it’s got a hefty price tag of around $600 ($500, if you don’t mind putting it together yourself). So, unless you could find one for rent at a local skate board shop (which is a pretty good idea, come to think of it), you’d have to really want to learn to skate bad to lay down that kind of money.
