We are fully satisfied with the guards. Our daughter of 3 1/2 years they used very often. Of course go to Bobbycar, but also for the impeller, where she still slows with their feet. The plastic is tough, flexible and fairly thick. The belt to fasten the Velcro is strong and holds well. With us, the guards have held almost a year and with frequent use. For the price, the performance is full ok
