1- What are the differences between today’s Baby Glider and earlier versions?
The current version is the third generation of the Baby Glider. Its molded base follows the shape of classic cross-country ski tracks, which was not the case with the first generation. Various improvements have been made to make the current version more robust than the second generation. What’s more, the Baby Glider now features a removable protective cover for easy maintenance.
2- How is my child installed in the Baby Glider?
In his snowsuit, the child sits in a seat lined with polar fleece. It is secured with a 5-point strap system. The seat reclines from sitting to lying position to suit the child’s age and needs. Depending on the weather, you can add blankets before closing the waterproof cover and attach the flexible windscreen to protect the child from the elements. The backrest offers good lumbar support and features an aluminum frame to protect the child in the event of a tip-over.
3- At what age can my child ride a Baby glider?
The seat supplied with the Baby Glider is designed for children from six months to 5 years of age. For younger babies, it is possible to remove the standard seat from the sled and attach the removable car seat shell to the bottom of the sled using a strap system (optional). Note: The adapter kit for attaching the baby shell can be purchased from your local outdoor retailer or via our website.
4- Can I skate with the Baby Glider?
The Baby Glider has been designed to be used for skate skiing as well as classic skiing. It’s also great for snowshoeing or simply walking on firm or semi-firm snow.
5- Can I ski off-piste with the Baby Glider?
The Baby Glider sled is designed primarily for groomed pistes (classic or skate skiing). It is also suitable for firm or semi-firm surfaces. It is not recommended for powder snow.
6- Up to what temperature can I take my child for a ride in the Baby Glider?
In the Baby Glider, your child is protected from the wind, and you can bundle him up warmly. But don’t forget that even if you’re hot pulling the sled, your little passenger won’t move. Check regularly to make sure your child is warm. The parent’s good judgment is essential, depending on the temperature and the duration of the outing.
