Why do kids not need knee pads while crawling around on the floor?

869 viewsBiologyOther

I’ve got the flexibility and energy to crawl around with kids, but I need knee pads when it’s hard wood or tile floors. I just feel the hard surface scrape against the bones of my knees/ankles. Kids don’t seem to notice a difference. What is different about their knees that allows them to enjoy any kind of floor?

Baby kneecaps are cartilage, not bone. Makes them softer and more pliable.

They don’t start turning to bone until around 2 years old, by which time most kids are walking
