Kinderlift™ vests are perfect for the parent who wants to safely introduce their child to the wonderful world of skiing or snowboarding. The reinforced nylon handle located on the back of the vest makes getting your little one back up and riding a breeze, and also allows you to get them on and off the chairlift with confidence (not to mention keep them close for the whole ride!). And because every Kinderlift vest is Made in America with quality materials, they’ll be you and your younger children’s favorite hand-me-down. It’s time to use the same children’s safety vest used by ski instructors at the leading resorts in the U.S. They use Kinderlift in their ski and ride schools. Put your child’s safety first when teaching them to ski or snowboard with a Kinderlift vest!

“…We love the vests. One of the advantages in having a strong strap at the back of the vest is if a child misloads on a chair, it is a lot easier for a lift operator to grab the handle and scoot them back on the chair. It is also easier to pick up a child on the hill…”

“Our new Kinderlift vests are amazing and the children who wear them think so too. We never have a problem a problem getting children to wear them so that they are visible on the mountain. The children can zip them on and off by themselves which is a big bonus. Our lift operators and instructors have said that the handle on the back makes it so easy to load children onto lifts and ensures that they are safe on the busy slopes.”
