Can my child use hand-me-down bindings with a new youth board?

Yes, as long as the bindings are the correct size for the child's boots and the insert pattern is compatible. Most youth boards use 4x4 or 2x4 insert patterns, which work with most non-Burton bindings. Burton youth boards with the Channel system require compatible bindings or adapter discs. Check that the binding size matches the current boot size (kids' feet grow fast) and that the binding's flex is appropriate—very stiff adult bindings on a soft youth board create a mismatch that can hinder performance.
