This is where the comfortable and ideally suited for winter conditions wheelchair sleds come in handy. You should think about buying them in advance, because there are many sales ahead (11.11 on Aliexpress, Black Friday, etc.).
• About how to choose the best sled-carriage, and what to look for when buying a vending model, I will tell you in the article. The rating is based on customer reviews in popular online stores, and on the recommendations of experts in specialized publications.

• One of the most inexpensive models in the wheelchair sled rating, however, “budget” in this case is not a synonym for “bad”. It weighs only 7 kg, has 2 backrest positions (for lying and reclining), and a flip handle with a rubberized pad.

Pros and cons good build quality warm large and durable rubber wheels wide seat for a child – 40 cm weight – 13,4 kgHow to choose a sled
• This type of transport successfully combines the advantages of a classic sled and the comfort of a stroller. And in order for the child to be warm and safe in any weather, the sled-carriage must be equipped with:
- Three-point (in some models – five-point) seat belt.
- Insulated mattress.
- Adjustable in two positions (or better in three – up to horizontal) backrest.
- Windproof and insulated leg cover.
- Moisture-resistant visor made of dense fabric.
- A viewing window, but not mesh, so that dirt, rain and snow do not fly into the child.
- Reflective elements.
• Many sled-wheelchairs come with a bag for small things, a rain cover and other accessories.
- Are the seams even?
- Are there any deformations and dents on metal parts.
- Are there any chips in the paint?
- Is it easy to remove and install removable parts.
- Is it easy to switch from skids to wheels. A sharp switch with a toss up can scare the child, and it’s not very good for the spine either.
- Is the back easy to adjust?
• If you take a sled-carriage for a child under six months old, a prerequisite is only with a backrest that folds to a horizontal position. It is also desirable that the selected model has a flip handle so that the child sits facing the mother.
• Each manufacturer indicates the permissible load on the stroller – usually up to 25 kg, less often – up to 50 kg. Depending on the load, the maximum allowable age of the child is calculated.
Folding design and weight. The first should be considered if you plan to take the sled on trips and / or the apartment has little storage space. The average weight of this vehicle is 11 kg, there are options and heavier – 12-14 kg. The exception is sled-carriages for twins, here the weight can reach 15 kg.
• Finally, the climate must be taken into account. The colder the winter months in your area, the warmer the stroller should be equipped. The “minimum” set includes: a fur mattress, a cover with foam rubber or sheepskin insulation, a dense awning made of windproof fabric.
