Wooden sledges

In our time no one needs to convince anyone that the most eco-friendly sleds are wooden. The use of hardwood for their production makes wooden sleds no less durable than their plastic or metal counterparts. The most common type of wood used in production is beech. The strength of this tree allows you to make sledges of the most diverse modifications and designs, from conventional retro models to modern folding ones. Feel the snowy breath of winter, sweeping with dizzy speed from the hill! Show your child your example of how to properly walk with sleds in winter!

Types of wooden sledges

Kinds of children's sleds from a tree are many, we suggest to consider the most popular and claimed their variants.

1. Very good (both for skiing and for storage) wooden folding sled. They are equipped with a folding mechanism that saves space at a time when they are not being used. The presence of a mechanism for folding does not affect the strength of the structure, nor does it affect the comfort of riding.
2. Wooden sleds for twins perfectly solve the problem with active winter rest for families with two children of approximately the same age. The purchase of such sleds will put an end to the constant wars between children for the right to sit in front. After the purchase of such sleds, walks will become calmer for the joy of parents.
3. Vintage models of wooden sleds allow you to fully experience the beauty of downhill skiing. Such models are somewhat heavy, but due to this they are more stable, not so often turned over, they allow to develop a rather high speed.
4. Sleds made of wood, with backs and long handles are great for walking with kids. The crumb will be comfortable in them at the expense of the back, and for the parents it is not difficult to carry the sled with the help of a high handle. If your family has a child of 1-3 years, then the best option you will not find.

Choose a sledge correctly

We propose to follow the following recommendations so that when choosing children's wooden sleds, you are not trapped.

1. Initially, it is worth paying attention to the material from which they are made. Preferred sleds or sleighs made of beech.
2. Equally important is the accuracy of the wood processing. Try to choose a sleigh with a smoothly worked surface. If you see hangnails or technical defects of wood, it is better to refuse to buy such sledges.
3. When buying children's sleds of wood, pay attention to their coverage. The varnish should be smooth and monophonic. Cover the product it must completely, also make sure that it is moisture-resistant. If the sleigh is covered with cheap varnish, then the tree will die, which means that the sled will be spoiled after the first drying.
4. Very good, if done in favor of wooden sleigh with a handle. This "convenience" more than once will help you out for a walk, especially if the passenger is small. Pushing the sledge in front of you, you will be sure that the baby did not fall out on the road.
5. Please note that the sleds are reinforced with metal plates. This feature significantly extends the service life, and still allows you to develop a high speed on the descent. The snow does not stick to the metal as much as to a tree, so the frictional force will be less.

Also, think about buying a special mattress for sledges , which will make skating even more comfortable.

Do not deny yourself and your child in active winter walks. A visit to the roller coaster will be extremely useful for him. After all, on sleighs you need not only to ride, they still have to be delivered to the mountain. Such physical culture in the winter air will be very useful to your mischief.
