Follow on Google News | Little Terra Publishes Guide To Keeping Kids Safe On The SlopesLearning to ski paves the way for a lifetime of enjoyment for your children – but if youngsters are not protected properly on the slopes, accidents can cause a loss of confidence as well as injuries.
By: Little Terra The guide, at www.littleterra.co.uk/ Carolyn Budding, children’s clothing buying specialist at Little Terra, said: “If your kids enjoy skiing or boarding and feel safe it lays the foundation for shared family holidays for decades to come. “Child safety, however, is something parents need to think about before they even open a brochure – rectifying problems or buying equipment in-resort can be expensive. “We’re certain that the littleterra.co.uk guide to keeping youngsters safe on the slopes will be of real value to parents as they plan this winter’s trip.” Tips include choosing a resort with a high proportion of wide green and blue runs, checking ski-school class sizes before booking, and making sure children know the International Skiing Federation code of conduct. Other subjects covered include choosing helmets and goggles, the importance or appropriate clothing and the need for regular rehydration. Accessories that can keep youngsters safe are also highlighted, such as ski harnesses and Edgie Wedgies – easily-removable clips that keep your child’s skis in the snowplough position and prevent the tips from crossing. Carolyn added: “I’ve used a ski harness myself and they are absolutely brilliant. Youngsters can ski on their own, rather than getting caught up between your legs, while you can rest easy they are not going to disappear into the sunset at full pelt. “There are so many things to think about before you even book a skiing holiday with children, so we’re really glad to help out with the littleterra.co.uk guide to keeping kids safe on the slopes.” www.littleterra.co.uk ENDS Little Terra is a children’s retailer with a strong online presence – which specialises in high-quality clothing and products that support the lifestyle of active young people and their parents.
