I read the other reviews that said this product was too small for 5+. I purchased the next size up and it was swimming on my 5 year old and I was worried they wouldn't stay put and actually protect her so I went ahead and ordered these ones anyway assuming maybe the other 5 year olds were larger children (my daughter is petite). When I go them, though, I couldn't even get the velcro around her elbows or knees. That leaves me with a choice to somehow get a velcro extension for these or go back to the 8+ pack that were falling off. I'm really dissapointed with the sizing options offered. :(
