I could see with bigger kids where the velcro may not wrap as far around (and there could be some velcro-on-skin contact) so it could also just be a case of a six-year-old's legs v. an older kid? Either way, these have been awesome other than I wish the knee pads had more shin protection (wish that about most pads I ride too).
It's interesting how at some age all the kids I see are no longer wearing elbow pads. Is it because they aren't cool or is it just that the fit sucks once your biceps and forearms aren't the same size? I would wear elbow pads for some rides if I could find a pair I don't hate - but thus far no love.
