Winter already comes into its own. This is a wonderful time of the year. The time of snow, frost and winter fun. Children just love to play snowballs, ride from the slides. To ride on a hill, you need a sled. It is better to buy good sledges in advance. The assortment is now wide and rich, the prices are different.
Of course, the most basic rule of choosing sleds is the age of the child. Be sure to consider this when choosing. Determine at a glance the price that you can afford.
For beginners
For the smallest children, a sledge-wheelchair is perfect. They are somewhat reminiscent of ordinary strollers. This transport is designed for a child from 8 months to 2 years. They are intended only for walking on fresh air. This model is not suitable for skating. These sleds have a handle, so that parents can carry them beforehand. Have a seat belt so that the baby does not fall. On some models there is even something like a roof, which will protect the baby from the wind, from snow. In the package there are covers for skids. There are simplified versions of sledges. They are made of metal and have a pusher handle in front of them. It is adjustable. You can use it from the front, but you can use it from the rear. Of course, most parents are more comfortable when they see the child in front of them. Such models are light enough in weight, they have an improved design. There are sleds with a fabric cover, that is, a backrest and a seat, there are even equipped with an envelope, but this is for quite a few crumbs. They are designed for 1.5 years. Sleds with a pusher handle can be used until the child's 4 years of age.
Now there can be sledges, similar to the old times. They are colored rails and steel skids. Designed for a year-old baby. They are durable and reliable, the only thing they give in to the modern, so this is an interesting design and functioning. They have a roast, which allows you to pull the sled with you, there is a back so that the baby is comfortable, it reclines. Such sledges are durable, serve up to the school. However, they will not be very interesting to children, as they can see more sophisticated options.
Advanced Options
A good option is a sledge-trough. But only they are unsuitable for ordinary walks. They look like ice-cold, but more compact. They are good at skiing, they are flat, they are more stable, they are difficult to turn over. There are more expensive models, they have a brake. You can use the brake in the sitting position, if the child decides to roll off the hill, he just does not reach the brake.
There is another version of the sleigh - it's a sledge with a rudder. Several people can ride on them. The maximum weight they withstand is 100 kilograms. With the help of the steering wheel, it is easy to control such sans. The handlebars can also be removed. These sleds often have a brake. He is in front of the steering wheel or near the footrest.
Eco-friendly and fabulous
The most environmentally friendly are sleds made of wood, or woven. Such sleds are also practical. They are light and glide perfectly. They are covered with varnish, which protects the tree from decay and mold. The skids of sledges are made of metal, so that the tree does not spoil or erase when crossing the place without snow. To properly choose this type of sled, you need to touch them on the presence of wrinkles and jags. Wooden sleds are inferior to metal sleds. They quickly get dirty, they are difficult to clean and generally not very strong.
I hope all the above tips will help you choose the right sled.
