Tried those Raceface Sendy pads on my kids last year... they hated them. Hot, non-breathable, scratchy, with velcro that hit the skin. They may be "ok" right now in the cool weather... but when it warms up... nope. Sent them back and just use Raceface adult Indy elbows as kids kneepads (perfect) and until someone makes a better kids elbow, the g-form kids elbows work pretty well. Wish they had a strap... you have to get the size just right.
The best kids pads are the ones they keep on... no matter the price. Cheaper pads that stay in the car or end up in a pack = useless.
Not sure why more companies don't just make small versions of their adult pads? Arguably, kids need even more comfortable and breathable pads than the adults do to keep complaints to a minimum, ensure they don't mind wearing them and ensure a fun a happy ride that keeps their stoke alive!
