How old are the boys? We started our twin boys when they were 4 on regular hockey skates and they did just fine. Don't underestimate your kids abilities to pick it up. I feel like the double blade skates are a waste of money as they will surely outgrow them within weeks if you take them regularly. Go with the sink or swim approach and just get them on the ice with regular skates. Pad them up with helmets and lots of layers, maybe invest in elbow and knee pads as they will be falling a lot.
Good Luck
