What size of board and binding should I start my 4 & 6 year olds on?
Any brand that has several kids boards to choose from?

119-125 should work fine. I found that with my kids it was more important to size the boots appropriately.

I just bought a hydroslide renegade from West Marine for $127 for board and bindings. But found that the size S boots really needed to be XS/M for my kids to feel comfortable on it.

I have the same board in e-bay right now for $100.

My 6yr old is on the Hyperlite Motive 119. It came with spin bindings, but if his/her feet are too small I would greatly suggest the LF micro’s with the inner boot. We have even used this board for kids up to 14yrs old and even some moms.
