Okay, I know it's usually a no-no to write about gear that you haven't used, but how do you handle that when it comes to kids?

I bought both my daughters new skis/boots/poles this season and I'd love to write about them once they have a few more days of use :-)

I'd think that after some good use you will have a feeling for how the equipment is working for your kids and I'm sure they will have let you know whether or not they are liking them or hating them. When you get ready to write something I'd quiz them a bit to fill in on the exact experience that you don't have becuase you've only been watching them in the equipment.

Maybe have them help you out putting the review together?
