No child can resist a snow-covered hill, because the greatest happiness in childhood is to ride a sled on a hill. In order for this entertainment to leave behind only positive emotions, you need to carefully choose the sled.
For the smallest passenger, special protection and attention is needed, which is why for children it is recommended that the support handle at the back be held by the parents, fully adjusting the direction of the sled. In this version, you can find a removable hood that protects from snow and rain if the child falls asleep during a long walk. There may be seat belts in sledges. They, as in wheelchairs, support the child, while maintaining his correct position. Padded armrests provide added comfort while driving. In the models for the smallest there are pockets for items that mothers love very much. You can put, say, baby food or a small purchase from the store.
The strongest are still considered sleds made of wood or aluminum. They suggest riding in a position both sitting and lying, and some instances even have a removable back. This is the most famous version of the sled. Despite their shortcomings, most parents choose only them. As for plastic sleds, they are much cheaper, but they have worse quality and less durability, and also may not have a back. Such sleds have a wide range of colors.
Inflatable sleds are the safest, because they soften blows on objects that got in the way and serve as a kind of airbag. Unfortunately, their service life is shorter than all other sledges. The quality of the slides will quickly bring such sledges to an unsuitable state, you just have to meet something sharp on the way. Such sledges will not pass on an asphalt road.
Any sled must be stable and comfortable. The seat must not stagger and have defects. Runners should be far from each other. The lower the sled, the less dangerous they will be for the child’s feet, and he will be able to quickly and conveniently sit down himself. There are even sleds that have a footboard. While riding, you can put your feet on the bandwagon. Before you buy a sled, you should determine their weight. It will be difficult for the baby to bring too heavy transport onto the hill. The handle in the sled for the smallest should be adjustable, and if there is no such function, then its length can be convenient.
There are no restrictions on the color scheme and scenery, but usually all children love very bright and colorful. In any case, the most important thing for a sled is their safety and quality. Buying a sled for a child means buying the greatest joy of childhood.
