Great Kids Shorts
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality
"I bought these shorts for my 7 year old son, who has just got on his first road bike. They are great little shorts and he finds them very comfortable. I got the size for 5-6yo as he is really skinny and they fit perfectly. Looks like they'll last him until he outgrows them, so overall a fantastic buy."

Nice Quality Shame About the Sizing
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, Lightweight
Cons: misleading size
"These are good shorts, very comfortable, at a good price. However, the sizing is misleading. The 10 - 12 shorts bought for our 10 year old who normally wears age 11 trousers in high street stores are being happily worn by his younger brother aged 8, who is as thin as a rake."

Great buy
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit
"I ordered two pairs for both my sons and they are both a great fit. Both my boys are tall for their age but average in weight. For my almost 7 year old I bought a size 7-9 and for my almost 4 year old a bought a size 5-6. Wea re really pelase with them."

Altura Kids Shorts
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality
Cons: small fit
"these shorts are very well made and supportive. Great product and well priced. Regarding the sizing, they are a little on the small size, you should go up to a larger age size, as I should have for my average size 8 year old son. I went for the 7-9 when he was most definitely the next size up, I think 10-12."

kids shorts
"Bought these for my 10 year old who has just got a new road bike. He hasn't yet road tested them but I can see that they will do what proper cycling shorts should do. My only criticism would be that the insert is whilst adequate isn't as good as you would find in the equivalent adult shorts."

Great first bike shorts
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"I bought these for my 8 year old daughter as we've started going out for longer rides and she was complaining that her saddle was getting uncomfortable. She loves them, apparently they are very comfy, and probably just as importantly she feels she looks like a "proper" cyclist now."

Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"A really good entry level short. Offers good protection for a day in the saddle. Found it hard to get good kids chamois shorts so turned to the trusty wiggle and wasn't disappointed. Great product, great price. Would definitely recommend."

Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality
"Bought these for my daughter. She finds them very comfortable. They have amble padding. The bottom of the legs could be tighter but then she is very tiny for her age."

Fair quality children's shorts
Pros: Good Fit, reasonable value
Cons: Not Enough Features, Limited Color Choices
"These are a reasonable quality child's cycling short. The seat could be a bit more springy and the elastic in some pairs has caued a few comp-laints but, for the price, these are pretty good. As the sizes (and children) get larger it would be so much better to offer a bib short. Also the odd coulour choice would be nice....."

Delighted with purchase
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Kids knicks are very hard to buy in Australia. The Altura knicks are a quality product. Lycra, chamios and cut are all excellent. The sizing was accurate too. My son thinks he is pretty special when he wears them. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and that they were kid specific. Would definitely purchase them again."

"have a slight 11yr old daughter, the 6-9 yr old shorts fitted absolutely perfectly with still a bit of growth potential in the stretch. Enough padding for the distances we cover at present."

Daughter likes them
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Purchased for my 9 year old daughter. She's quite slim so we were worried about fitting but they fit very well. She's usually very fussy and yet has not commented adversely about these shorts so they must be good.
3 stars on pricing as I would prefer that they were cheaper - being kids shorts!"
