Subject: Freecycle(tm)DurhamNC OFFER - Fisher Price Knee/Elbow pads, SW Durham

I have to offer a pair of Fisher Price knee/elbow pads. They were
bought as a package with a safety helmet when my son was a
preschooler. But now, the pink/purple colors are no longer appealing
to him. Pick up is in SW Durham, near the intersection of 54 and 751.

I really think that we over protect kids these days. Come on....a safety helmet AND knee and shoulder pads?

I'm pretty sure none of us had this gear when growing up and we turned out OK.
If a kid doesn't get hurt once in a while they're going to grow up as wussies.
