Sledding Safety Tips for Kids

Sledding is one of the best free winter activities for families, but a few simple precautions can help make sure everyone stays safe while having fun.

Choose a hill with a clear runout.
Look for sledding hills that have plenty of open space at the bottom and aren’t close to roads, parking lots, trees, or fences.

Dress kids in warm layers.
Snow pants, waterproof gloves, boots, and hats help keep kids warm and dry so they can stay outside longer.

Take turns going down the hill.
Make sure the path is clear before the next sledder goes down to avoid collisions.

Sit up and face forward while sledding.
Sitting upright helps kids steer and keeps them more in control.

Watch for icy conditions.
If a hill becomes very icy or crowded, it might be a good idea to take a break or move to a different spot.

With a little preparation, sledding can easily become one of those simple winter traditions kids remember for years.
