In the fall you ride down the driveway on your Little Tikes car:
In winter you ride the kicksled:
We just got an Esla Kickspark to accompany the kid-sized sled. It’s amazing.
What’s the Difference Between Fall and Winter in Fairbanks?

I have an almost identical picture of my kiddo ridin’ down the driveway in the same plastic missile!
hey, i remember looking out my kitchen window and seeing that new sled in action – must have been filming day! i nearly came out and asked for a ride myself!
call me ANYTIME for tea!
I sooooo want one. Magic Cabin will sell one, +~$30 for shipping. Hmmm.
Hi! Fellow Fairbanks resident here, and I have a question for you about the kicksleds. They sound awesome, but my dd is 7 (average size), which puts her between sizes for the 2 sleds. Do you think the kickspark would be too big for her? How adjustable is it? Would the Mucksu be too small? Any advice? Thanks!
The kickspark is very adjustable. The handlebars go down far enough for our four-year-old to ride. The height adjustment works like a bicycle seat (we bought ours used, so I can’t be 100% certain new models are the same). The runners would be a little long, but you can move the foot grips closer to the front. I think the Mucksu would be smallish now and even smaller as your kiddo grows. In the video, our two-year-old is on the Mucksu. With the kickspark, you’d be able to use it too.
Here’s a link to the place in Anchorage that sells them:

Thanks!
I feel bad that I missed you while you were down here–nothing like meeting up to make the winter better.
