Snow Strollers Make it Easy for Parents to Stroll in a Blizzard

Written by Ali on Monday, 18 January 20103 Comments

We generally like to promote fun and safety here at Chip Chicklets but sometimes there is that one crazy product that comes across our desks that’s neither. The Snow Strollers are a cross between a stroller and snow sled. This was designed for parents who need to slide through snow very easily without having to deal with wheels getting stuck or iced up. However if you let go for a split second of the stroller I can only imagine it’s bye bye birdie cause your kid will be gone – especially on a very slick surface. The strollers come in several colors and and feature nylon material, light weight stainless steel tubing, and are easily foldable for the trunk or traveling. There are Starter, Graduate, Deluxe, and Deluxe Plus Snow Strollers each retailing for $109.65 to $199 respectively.

Not sure why you’d think this would take off any faster than the sleds we are already using! But we can see the kid, not have to pull a huge flat surface behind us on a thin string, all bent over. This looks great! And no, not during blizzards, anytime we’ve had an inch or six of snow… which for us here in Canada is about half the year! Yay for snow strollers! Looks very light and portable too. Thanks for blogging about this non-electronic-gadget godsend!

I took my eighteen month old out on a sledge the other day because I was struggling with the stroller. He thought it was great fun at first, but he got cold way too quickly that close to the ground with snow coming in. It was tears all the way home. This stroller looks super cosy compared to a sledge, it’s great!

And Lucy, he won’t drag his mitts through all the snow and slush on the ground as you pull him behind the sledge with this either! That is what my son does in the sled, and he then cries his hands are wet and freezing. I checked the site, and apparently they have a deal of 10% more off per multiple order, so order with your friends. They said that the model for this coming winter (fall 2010) should have some sort of brake you can put down when stopped, and that they are trying to come up with pop-down wheels too. The two-child snow stroller should be on the market soon too (there is a photo in their FAQs section).
