Top 5 wheelchair sleds
Choosing the best sledges for the baby should be guided by several parameters.
The first and most important parameter: this baby age. For a six-month-old child, it is necessary to have a folding back on the sled - not all babies can sit at that age. Older kids (3-4 years old) can already buy the simplest model, because even in the “tricked out” they cannot sit for long.
The second parameter: how often do you plan to use a sledge. If the winters have little snow, then it may not make sense to buy an expensive model. If the sled is used almost more often than the wheelchair (and this is quite the place to be), then you should choose a good and comfortable model.
The third parameter: materials and equipment sleds. Warm blanket, windproof water-repellent fabric, long hood - all this will save the health of the baby and the nerves of the mother.
Best sled makers
Sledge-carriages (sanimobili), perhaps, a purely Russian invention. At least, all the most popular models of domestic production. These are sledges of the companies Nika, Galaxy, ABC academy, Slip, Fairy, Tyani-Push, etc. They are good because they take into account the Russian climate and all the features of urban winter walks with the baby. In addition, they are strong and beautiful. And if the first models of sanimobiles were reproached for a multitude of shortcomings, today manufacturers seriously finished their products, making them functional, high-quality, comfortable and durable.
Below we will look at the excellent models of wheelchair sleds, their most important characteristics and parents' reviews, so that you can choose the best winter transport for your baby.

Sledge-wheelchair met all our expectations! My daughter sleeps well in them. Wide runners of the sleds do not allow them to roll over, besides, they are very easy to fold and occupy a minimum of space in the apartment and in the trunk of the car. |

Very warm, beautiful sledge wheelchair with wheels and with a high and long hood. Despite the minor flaws (like a small bag and instantly rusting runners), I still recommend them, because There are no foreign analogues. |

Spacious, comfortable wheelchair sleds that are easy to use even in the absence of snow thanks to 4 rubberized wheels. The wheel unit is extended by pressing the pedal, and in the same way is removed if necessary. The sledge has a reversible handle, additional wheels for moving through snow-free areas, as well as a deep and high hood with a waterproof awning. The design is so strong that it allows you to hang a bag with products on the handle, and also safely carry children up to 4-5 years. Clutch for hands, fur mattress and a spacious bag in the kit. High functionality is reflected in weight: Nika 7-2 children are the hardest in our rating (10.3 kg). Main advantages:

Low cost sledges with wheel unit and toggle handle, folding mechanism and three positions of the backrest. The main difference from the more expensive models is a short hood, a simplified construction of a transparent visor (without lightning) and insulation that is insufficient for Russian winters. The parents solve the last problem by simply inserting an additional blanket or envelope into the case.If you want to buy a good sledge-wheelchair with all the "bells and whistles" (and most importantly, with retractable wheels) and do not overpay, then Umka 3-1 is perfect for this. Main advantages:

Wonderful sled at a great price. Gained in the winter, made walking easy and enjoyable. All the disadvantages of the sledge are easily eliminated or insignificant, and the number of advantages for this price is better than that! |
Which sledge wheelchair is better to buy?
If the choice of wheelchair sleds has already been made, and only a little bit left before the purchase, then you should pay attention to some design features of the selected wheelchair sleds so as not to be disappointed in your future purchase.
First look at runners: wide and long runners guarantee easy pushing. Sleds with such skids easily pass through the snow, do not “sink”, do not turn over. There are runners designed according to the “pipe” principle - a wheelchair with such runners rides perfectly on ice, but loses when riding in snow. Of course, almost 99% of the way will be overcome not by ice, so the choice in favor of the first design of the runners is obvious.
Moms should pay attention to weight sleigh The smallest sledges weigh about 5 kg. Add to them the weight of one year old baby - a total of 15 kg. Considering that mainly mothers are on the decree, it’s mostly for them to carry the baby on sledges. And it is better to opt for a non-heavy maneuverable sled with a comfortable handle.
The buyer looks at the sleigh wheelchair not only from the practical but also from the aesthetic side. Parents are captivating funny and original design Sanok - especially, if the fabric on them is unmarked and warm.
Of course, the final choice always remains with the parents.
Have a nice winter days and comfortable skiing!
