Ida on the hill, or buy a children's snow scooter
Author: Julia Shevlyakova
The children's snow scooter is not just “advanced” sleds. This is a very convenient transport for winter walks and a child's independent activity from the age of 3, with many advantages. But what should be the best snow scooter and is it possible to buy a quality model in Russian stores? The Price Expert already has the answer to these questions.
The best manufacturers of children's snow scooters
Children's snow scooters - this is the case when the "Price Expert" can safely recommend domestic products. "Bars", "Nika", Demi, Small Rider - very durable, comfortable, have a classic design, a variety of colors and an affordable price. In addition, they are maintainable, they can buy interchangeable skis. However, it should be borne in mind that instead of a good Russian snow-scooter, it is very easy to buy a Chinese fake.
The main disadvantage of Chinese models is the low quality of materials, first of all it concerns metal and welds. Therefore, carefully read the information attached to the product, and do not buy the product at an unusually low price.
Among imported products, the leading positions are occupied by Swedish snow-shooters Stiga, Canadian Snow Moto, Japanese Yamaha, German KHW, and others. They are distinguished by more “advanced” design and thought-out technologies, but they are 2-3 times more expensive than domestic ones.

For this amount, I think this snow scooter is the best option. Not heavy, with a soft seat, an excellent snow scooter for transition from the sledge to more adult transport. I am glad that maintains a decent weight. |

This snow scooter noticeably stands out among others with its low weight (only 4 kg) and a bicycle wheel, which, according to reviews, is more convenient for kids than a round wheel. The seat has a limiter that prevents the child from sliding backwards and is adjustable back and forth, which is another attractive feature of this model.

Snowmoto has a strong frame and plastic, does not creak or stagger anything, it adequately withstands all the loads. Very pleased with the weight - the child himself carries the sled for the cable, and it is also very easy to carry them. On the front ski there is a shock absorber, the mounds are not terrible and the child does not shake. The seat is adjustable, you can move further or closer to the seat. Excellent brakes. |

Leopard Comfort
2 790
Our rating continues a good inexpensive snow scooter with a folding backrest. The snow-scooter is designed for a child of 4 years old, however, it can be safely used earlier thanks to a comfortable backrest that protects the child from falling backwards and gives additional comfort.

YAMAHA FX Nytro Snow Bike
4 490
The most stylish snow scooter from a real manufacturer of snowmobiles. Children's YAMAHA FX Nytro stylized adult snowbike of the same model.

The snow-scooter boasts a variety of useful additional functions, such as curved front and rear skis (twin-type), an ergonomic seat with adjustable back and forth, front wind "glass" that protects from flying snow, automatic cable twisting, turning angle limiter.

I liked the very easy sliding of the snow scooter both forward and back, the stylish appearance and the presence of a cable twisting in the front ski. No flaws were noticed, except for stickers, but this is uncritical. |

Small Rider Snow Comet 2

A high-quality snow scooter seems to be specially created for the conditions of the city: standard skis in it are complemented by retractable wheels. Front wheels rotate 360 degrees for easy handling. The model has a comfortable bicycle handlebar, high back, wide brake-comb, cable with a tape measure. The presence of wheels makes this snow scooter virtually an “all-terrain vehicle”. The best snow scooter for traveling around the city, but on the hill will be unnecessarily heavy.

STIGA Snowracer

The snow-scooter of the Swedish production strikingly differs from domestic classics not only the price, but also a premium level of safety.

The seat and wheel of the snow-scooter are non-slip, there is a shock absorber, and the rope is equipped with a coil with an automatic retractor mechanism. Suitable for children from 3 years.

Very high quality, comfortable, pleasant to use snow scooter. According to the characteristics, it is much better than all the others, but it is too heavy. Also, Stiegh has high curved skis and a spring that really stops a snow scooter if a child loses control or falls. The cable itself is drawn into the coil - no need to reel it. |
How to choose a good snow scooter?
Material
The frame of most good snow scooters consists of steel tubes, which makes the structure rather heavy, but durable. But skis can be both steel and plastic. Steel skis make the construction much heavier, but they won't break, and plastic snow scooters are much lighter, but there is a chance (albeit a small one) of breakage. In any case, choosing a snow scooter, pay attention to the flexibility of the skis - if the skis do not bend, then you should not buy such a model.
Maximum load
Snow scooters for babies are designed for a weight of up to 50 kg, models for older children and family skating can withstand up to 100 kg. It is enough that two children or a child and an adult could simultaneously roll on a snow scooter.
Snow scooter safety
Brake. Most often, it has the appearance of a foot pedal. It is better to choose a snow scooter with two brake pedals - and they will work more efficiently, and in the event of a breakdown of one of them, the snow scooter will not remain entirely without a braking system.
Back. For the safety of the smallest snow scooters provide the back, at least - removable bumpers. The most convenient and versatile option folding back.
Road stability. The wider the distance between the skis and the lower the landing, the better the snow scooter is protected from turning over. True, the comfort of movement on the "low" snow scooter is not so high.
Maneuverability. Responsible manufacturers limit the angle of rotation of the front ski, and, consequently, the maneuverability of children's snow scooters. This is done solely for the sake of the safety of the child, who may not cope with the control during fast descent from the mountain.
Other criteria for selecting a snow scooter:
- maintainability and availability of spare parts, first of all, interchangeable skis;
- the size and convenience of the seat;
- towing cable included;
- the presence of shock absorbers in the front ski and under the seat to mitigate uneven ride;
- taillights for safer movement at dusk;
- The bright color of a snow scooter is not just a whim. When driving around the city, bright vehicles are better seen by motorists, and when skiing from the mountain, you can always see your child and distinguish him in the crowd of skiers.
So, a significant number of models of children's snow scooters on the market are of acceptable quality and affordable price, which means that it will be easy for you to make your choice. Enjoy your shopping!
