Ice skating is a good option in case you do not enjoy walking or jogging. It’s best to skate at a reasonable speed, maybe the same as your jogging speed (even though it may limit your skating experience, it is safer).
Ice-skating is a popular sport and leisure activity in most countries; its common to find moms indulging in ice-skating while pushing the baby stroller.
If you want to get out of your house and do something fun, do consider stroller skating on the ice. Ice-skating is a fun way to get some workouts and also to introduce your little one to ice.
There are some ice skating rinks that allow the use of the rink by moms during non-peak hours. You can rent ice skates, secure your baby safely in the stroller, and get on that ice to have some fun, while pushing the stroller around.
And when you’re happy kids love it too, because you end up talking more to your little one. And kids love being pushed around on ice while being seated in the comforts of their stroller.
Is it dangerous?
Not really, if you know how to skate, as the baby is safe in the stroller.
But if you’re learning to skate, its better to do it alone before you do it with the baby.
In case you will be stepping foot on ice after a long time, the stroller will help you keep balance while you get back your rhythm. Spend a few minutes (pushing it slowly) and your body will remember what to do.
