Real Metal Pedals to Replace POS Plastic Pedals

My kids 20" Trek Jet has plastic pedals that his feet slip off which he's mashing uphill.

Hasn't been much of a problem until Sunday when he was trying to race me up a hill and his foot slipped off causing him to hit the deck hard.

Any reason why i couldn't put a set of Wellgo MG1s on his Trek Jet?

Any suggestions for a better kids bike pedal?

If you are putting metal pedals on your kid's bike, I suggest using shin guards or selecting a pedal that doesn't have gnarly pins. My son uses Sun Ringle pedals with gnarly pins on his 24" bike. They are great for grip, but can really tear his shins if he has a pedal slip. He never rides without shin guards. 661 makes youth sized shin guards.
