Let customers speak for us
from 9 reviewsOnly used twice but pleased so far! The pulk is easy to pull on flat groomed trails, proved to be more work in shallow, ungroomed snow but still doable. We loaded my child up with blankets and a hot waterbottle and she was nice and toasty. The pulk up quickly and easily and fits into the trunk of my Toyota Matrix!
We bought a Kindershuttle over 15 years ago, and it saw heavy use for the next couple of years of nordic and light backcountry touring while our kids were too little to start skiing on their own. What great times! More than just a super rugged sled to haul the kids around, the Kindershuttle kept our littles bundled up and happy on a day out in the snow. Good venting keeps the windows clear and the little ones from soggy chill. Better than a pack, it let us haul along all sorts of goodies and kit for a picnic in the mountains. Countless times setting it up, breaking it down and tossing it in the truck to go again: no failed hardware, no tears, no bad zippers, and the PVC stayed clear. Thanks for building a fantastic product!
I called the customer service number on a Sunday and didn’t expect to get a real person. Jacob called right back and helped me with getting the replacement sled that I needed and it arrived to Alaska within three days of my order shipping with UPS.
we have had a kinder shuttle for about 12 years. Our son had down syndrome and we first used it with the cover and the strapping system. As he grew older, he was stable enough to sit in the sled. He has low endurance. He wasn’t able to cross country ski with us for a long duration so the kinder shuttle was a great solution. We have used it hard-core for 12 years in Alaska. It’s extremely durable and well-made and goes well on all types of snow, including groomed or deeper snow and ungroomed trails.
We have tried other ski systems, including the fuel chariot and the Venice cycle, which is specifically for adults with disabilities and has a ski system. We like the kinder shuttle sled and poke the best because of the low center of gravity is more stable than either of those ski systems where your child sits higher up and are on skinny skis. We found the kinder shuttle sled is less likely to tip over and as mentioned above it goes better on all types of snow.
The sled has been extremely durable and has mentioned his lasted for 12 years with no problems until my husband ran over it with the snow plow. We just ordered a replacement sled and are extremely happy with the same quality construction as the original. I would highly recommend getting this for your child. It can grow with your child and has worked well for us with a child with disabilities. If you’re a debating about the expense, let me reassure you that it is worth every penny.
I have had our Kindershuttle for 8 years and I have really enjoyed pulling my kids in it through all our winter activities. It is much nicer to use on groomed ski trails verses single track snowshoes trails. My kids stay warm and dry in the kindershuttle. They can play with their toys, eat snacks, or even enjoy a nice nap. My oldest started riding it in 4-5 months old with the infant car seat placed in the kindershuttle. The kindershuttle breaks down easily to fit back in the car-totally doable with dogs and kids running amuck. The system is very nice on body mechanics as well-fits snug around the hips but doesn’t limit mobility. I have hiked snowshoed, classic and skate skied with it. I’m having a hard time thinking this will be my last year to use it with my youngest.
The Base Camp sled by Wilderness Technology has been excellent for us. The build quality is solid and confidence-inspiring, and it clearly feels made for real winter use. The harness is especially well done—it connects you to the sled in a way that makes it feel like an extension of your body rather than something you’re dragging behind you.
For how we use it—bringing supplies into a hike-in-only cabin—this sled is essential. Hauling firewood, food, fuel, and gear would be impractical without it. It’s a true tool, and for our needs, it’s irreplaceable.
We’ve been borrowing the base camp from a good friend for 12 years now. It’s been great for bring out all the gear with little ones in tow and for longer excursions to forest service cabins. It only just now had a break in one of the clevises going over some very uneven terrain where I let the sled roll. They were very quick to reply and got a replacement on its way asap. Great product.
We LOVE our Kindershuttle! It is so easy to ski with (both skate and classic) while pulling kids. I have even pulled two kiddos in it (one wasn’t buckled so wouldn’t recommend two if super hilly) and it was easy to do pull. Makes getting out on skis possible with little kids! The kids stay warm with the weather cover, and my kids have had some great naps in it while being towed. I have also tried the Thule double chariot, but the Thule was SO heavy it wasn’t possible to pull up a small hill (at least for a smaller sized female) and the Thule wasn’t great to skate with (I didn’t get any glide). The Kindershuttle is definitely the way to go with kids to spark their love of skiing from a young age!
We love our kinder shuttle! The sled is easy to set up, transport, and pull. It easily fits in the back of our RAV4, even when it’s set up. Our one year old stays warm, safe, and happy tagging along on all our winter adventures with his car seat strapped securely into the sled.
