We are getting LO a Micro Mini scooter for her birthday. We're getting her a helmet with it and I assume we should get elbow/knee pads? But the kids in the pictures don't have any - just helmets - and I know from working in marketing that if it were at all dangerous/not recommended to go without, they would put them on the models so they don't get sued.

Also, I googled it and found some people saying their 2 year olds won't wear them. So it sounds like it could be kind of a waste? If it's important we'll insist but if not, I figure avoid the battle.

ETA: If your answer is "yes," let me know what brand you recommend. Not finding much on Amazon.
