All children know how to enjoy every day at any time of the year. Happy time is childhood, there are practically no problems, and any weather outside the window is an occasion for new entertainments. In summer, you can walk for a long time on the street, and in winter, although it is cold, there is no less entertainment. You can build snowmen, play snowballs with friends and ride a hill. Actively relax in the winter, without moving far from your own home, a children's ice bucket will help. What is it, who needs such an inventory?
Ice-boats - compact sledges for children and adults
Every modern parent knows that riding a hill on a pope is completely sad. During our childhood, sledges were often replaced with pieces of cardboard and linoleum. But, you must admit, for a walk, even if it’s up a hill with a piece of building material, today it’s not at all solid. And why look for a piece of old linoleum if a child’s ice-cream is sold at a low price in any children's goods store? It is a compact and cheap alternative to children sledges. Ice-boats today can be found on sale in various types, shapes and sizes. They also differ in the material used for the manufacture. If desired, you can find an option on which not only a child will ride, but also an adult.
Ice-boats and traditional sledges
With the onset of the first cold weather, goods for winter games on the street begin to be traded at almost every step. It is worth noting that traditional sledges for skiing are inexpensive, and any family can buy them. However, children's ice-cream has a number of advantages. One of the most important among them is a very low price. The cost of such an accessory for skiing is from 100 rubles. Of course, we are talking about the most budget options. But already for 300-500 rubles, you can begin to choose and not deny the child his personal preferences and wishes. The compactness and mobility of ice floes is another advantage compared to sleds. Such an accessory has a minimum weight, even a child of 4-5 years old can independently carry it from place to place. When storing ice, it also takes up very little space. Typically, such "mini-sleds" for slides are also characterized by durability. But if your ice floe breaks, it’s not at all scary, because you can go and buy a new one.
Varieties of ice flakes
What to ride from the hill? The simplest and most popular ice floe for children is a circle or a large "heart" with a handle. In fact, this is just a "rug" for skiing, which will not only give acceleration when moving, but also allow the child not to get his pants dirty. Such ice cubes are made of frost-resistant plastic or rubber. The next variety is “basins”. We are talking about hard ice-plates, they usually have a sufficiently large diameter, and can also have an elongated trough shape. This option is one of the safest sledges, but when riding, the child should hold on to the handles.
Children’s soft ice cubs resemble small pillows or filled handbags with handles. These ski accessories look very attractive, as they are usually decorated with bright patterns. Their main advantage is compactness and low weight. A few years ago, our country was "captured" by a new fashionable hobby: tubing. We are talking about cheesecake sledges, which in the cold season can also be found in children's goods stores. Tubing is not very cheap, but riding on it is a pleasure, and in the summer you can swim on the “cheesecake” in the sea or a pond.
How to choose an ice cream for a child?
Before you go to the store for a gift for a young hobbyist, you should decide how much money you are willing to spend. It is also important to immediately decide whether adults will ride on the ice, how often the child visits the hill, whether he walks alone or only accompanied by his parents, how long to go to the place of skiing. Depending on your answers to all these questions, you can also formulate your purchase requirements. Inflatable ice-boat for children is ideal for families regularly going to ski resorts, in the absence of problems with transportation and storage. If the child often walks alone and the slide is at some distance from home, it is best to choose a compact plastic or soft "bedding". Do not forget to specify characteristics such as maximum weight and permissible operating temperature for a particular product before purchase.
How much is the pleasure of winter skiing?
Simple small ice cubes made of plastic and rubber are quite inexpensive, usually in the range of 70-300 rubles. For the same price you can buy a soft “litter” for skiing, the price of such an accessory can be 200-500 rubles. What could be better than a "basin" or "trough" - a large and tough ice-cream for children? The price of such a product is slightly higher, usually it is 800-1500 rubles. Tubing is even more expensive, their cost is usually 1000-4000 rubles.
Safety regulations
Unfortunately, not all children’s ice sleds come with instruction manuals. How to handle such a device for riding, intuitively understand even the smallest child. But parents should not forget about the need to regularly remind the child about the rules of behavior on the hill. It is recommended to ride on ice only in a sitting position. You can slide down the hill only by making sure that no one is below. Having finished the descent, the child must quickly get up and move to a safe area, taking his mini-sled with him. If the ice has broken, it is not safe to continue using it for skating. Learn all these simple rules with your child, and then winter walks will bring you only joy!
