Excellent model for driving from hills is the inflatable sledge. Their advantages: compactness and practicality. Minus: fragility. The most popular design of the sledge among children are snow-scooters. They have convenient sitting, a wheel and a foot brake. The most durable consider wooden and metal sled. Inflatable and plastic copies which quickly come to unfitness are not adapted for driving on our hills.
3. Check safety of the chosen model of the sledge. They have to be steady and not turn over independently. The sledge is lower, and the further from each other there are runners, the better. Pay attention to existence of a back and armrests. Perfectly, if they are removable. Examine runners. They have to be integral and wide that the child could ride the sledge safely. Tubular runners perfectly slide not only on ice, but also on the road. Their flat analogs – on snowdrifts. Some models are equipped with seat belts to which it is necessary to pay attention too.

Existence of a footboard which will allow the child to put legs is welcomed. The sledge has to be capacious. Pay attention to fastening of the handle if you chose model for the kid. Vertical grooves will protect it from accidental loss. It is desirable that length of the handle was adjustable. If the sledge is equipped with a rope tow, then it has to be strong and have convenient length.

The sledge, the less efforts will be lighter the child will use during a model raising on the hill. The plastic sledge is the easiest. Metal models also have small weight, but to the kid on them will cold sit. Therefore it is necessary to take care of a warm laying on the sledge. Remarkably if the product is already equipped with a soft seat.
