For the child who loves dora, these are great. The fact that they have Dora on them makes your child want to wear them. Protective gear is only effective if the child will actually put it on. I got them for a very young niece and they are probably a bit large, but the helmet adjusts and stays on her head. The quality is not spectacular, but the set is not designed for hard core protection, just the normal dangers associated with learning to ride a bike or scooter. I wouldn't send a child out on their own with this equipment but its perfect for around the house / yard. 5 stars
