Tips for choosing a sled stroller

Shops offer many types of sled-wheelchairs with a metal frame. They can be with or without wheels. Much depends on what the sled is for.

Criterias of choice:

• Frame. It is made from steel or aluminum. These models differ mainly in weight. Withstand a load of 25 kg.
• Skids. They are tubular, which easily glide on smooth snow-covered roads, and flat – provide good cross-country ability on loose snow. The wider and longer they are, the better stability they guarantee.
• Seat and back. The seat should be wide enough, as children are usually dressed in warm voluminous overalls or covered with a blanket. At the same time, the child should feel comfortable so that his movements are not constrained. It is better to choose a back and footboard with an adjustment function, in case the child falls asleep. Then it will be possible to take a comfortable horizontal position.
• Single or double. While single models are the most popular, there are also twin strollers on the market with wheels that are ideal if you have two children. When choosing such a product, do not forget to take care of the comfort and safety of each child. The amount of space will be important.
• Visor and cover for legs. The hood on the sled-carriage should be large enough and go down to the very cover to protect the child from wind, snow and frost. The cape on the legs must also be insulated, made of water-repellent fabric, and have a convenient fastener. Usually they come with zippers or buttons.
• Wheels. Sled-carriages are presented with and without wheels. They are usually 2 pieces on the back of the skids, and there are also models with retractable wheels of 4 pieces. This is a more acceptable option for a trip in regions with poor snow.
• A pen. Fixed handles are more secure and weigh less, but the flip handle option is best for toddlers under 3 years of age to be able to watch your child while driving.
• Folding. Typically, all wheelchair sleds fold to a compact size for easy transport and convenient storage.
• Seat belts. The presence of seat belts in a wheelchair is mandatory. Most often they are 3-point or 5-point. They ensure the safety of the child during the walk, and make it more comfortable.
