A properly selected snowboard is a guarantee of safety while riding. Here are some guidelines to help you find the perfect "friend" for your child.

1. Choose a snowboard based on your child's age, skill level and riding style. For beginners, a cap or a sandwich is a great option. The first type of board is lightweight, quite rigid, but may not withstand overload. The second type - a sandwich - is heavier, more rigid, flexible enough and durable.
2. If your child decides to freestyle after completing a basic level of training, then choosing a hybrid sandwich board and cap is the best option.
3. For young snowboarders with good experience, a slalom board is suitable. The ideal board should be from the toes to the child's chin.
4. You should also pay attention to the weight of the child. For example, for a 3-year-old baby weighing 14 kg, you should choose a model with a size of about 80 cm; at 4 years old with an increase of 103-105 cm and a weight of 15-16 kg - 80-90 cm; at 5 years old with a height of 108-110 cm and a weight of 17-19 kg - 85-95 cm, etc. If your child is lightweight, it is better to choose a snowboard with a size smaller than the recommended age.
5. The width of the board should be such that the children's boot does not go beyond the edge of the snowboard and is as accurately as possible matched to the length of the baby's foot. If the snowboard is small in width, the leg clings to the snow; if it is too large, it complicates its handling.
6. Do not forget to purchase the necessary safety equipment - fasteners, mask, helmet and protection, as well as comfortable clothing.
