Children are always excited about going skiing – but for many parents it can be an anxious time. Keeping them from disappearing off at great speed, ensuring they are warm, their eyes and skin are protected – and the logistics of getting them safely on and off the lifts adds another stress!
To make the experience enjoyable and safe, here’s out list of must-have ski accessories for kids.
Clothing and Protection
-
Essential for safety, ensure helmets fit snugly and comfortably. To ensure you can see them, particularly if skiing later in the afternoon, do take a look at our helmet light.
- Protects eyes from snow glare and wind. We love Panda Optics and have a number of children’s goggles available on our website.
- Use our Ski Clip2Cuff to ensure gloves and mitts don’t get lost on the slopes – or dropped from a stairlift while they unwrap a Mars Bar!
- Our Snug A Lugs help keep ears warm, providing protection against the wind and the cold.
Equipment
- There’s nothing worse on a skiing holiday than having to carry all of your children’s skis and poles as well as your own – all while trying to shepherd them into a bubble lift! Encourage children to carry their skis from an early age with our Ski Carrier Straps.
- Another way to encourage independence is by enabling children to put on and remove Ski Boots with ease using our Boot Bib to easily slide boots on – and our Boot Butler to clip and unclip the stiffest of boots.
Comfort and Entertainment
- Sunscreen and Lip Balm are absolute must-haves. Protects skin from UV rays even on cloudy days. Our Goody Bag contains a travel size 25SPF sunscreen together with a lip balm.
