I was skating at that age using the time honoured method of freeze the backyard and here's a chair. Regular skates, figured it out pretty quick after eating it a few times. Now if someone can help me figure out how to get my four year old daughter to actually get on the ice instead of trying to get me to carry her, that'd be great.
Funny / stupid: When I took her to the local rink here to learn to skate at 3, I requested a chair and the guy looked at me like I'd just grown a third eye. Had to explain to him why, and he informed me there are now fancy little devices (look like old lady walkers) for kids now. Spoiled little buggers.
