If you're thinking of taking your child skiing for the first time, this is a must have product! I took my 3 year old skiing for his first time this year and this made the whole trip worthwhile, as he could ski with me anywhere. You don't have to worry about them not being able to slow down or turning etc, as you can just ski behind them and help them do it all with the reins. Plus getting them onto chair lifts or picking them up when they've fallen over is a lot earier with the handles. Worth every penny, and i'd recommend it to anyone.
