I’m sure it’s fun for the kid riding down the mountain in his dad’s backpack. Hopefully ol’ dad doesn’t catch an edge and take a cartwheeling fall or forget that junior’s riding on his back when he hops on a lift. If it sounds like I think skiing with a kid on your back is a worse idea than Spyder’s summer clothing line, it’s because I don’t have kids so I have no idea what I’m talking about—but I think we can all agree that this Kiwaski Stroller Ski doesn’t belong anywhere on the hill. Just imagine how exciting it would be to see one of these slide by with a frantic dad chasing it—well, maybe a little too Rosemary’s Baby.

I have a little one and the 40 CAD for the skis to attach to the bottom of the stroller is way more CHEAPER then the Chariot ski set up for $170. And I use the word CHEAP cuz thats what it looks like, and I think Ill wait the couple years when my kid can get a little older to fit into boots rather then strapping her in a suicide chair.
Skiing is how I really learned how to balance well enough to walk.
I’m not a skier, but this doesn’t even look functional. I’d like to see the company do a demo of it. It’d be pretty comical. The parent would have to do the splits because their skis would have to be outside of the stroller skis. And how would they turn? Their skis would bang into the stroller.
You people obviously don’t have kids and you must not live in a snowy climate. I’m pretty sure they were never meant to taken on a skiing run. What a ridiculous thought! I live in Minnesota and love to walk the trails. This is what many of us have been waiting for. No more getting stroller tires stuck in snow banks or slush.
