- I'd go for the sled. This was 30 years ago, of course, but my mother
- hauled us around on sleds when we were babies. She only got the car on
- weekends! Get a sled that has a "back" so the baby can sit up, and so you
- can strap her in. Or, modify a plain old wooden sled. If you fall when
- pulling a sled, you just hold on. You can tie the stap to your wrist so
- nothing can happen. You can even put a little wooden brake on the sled
- when you are going down the steepest of hills if you are really worried.

- The vermont general store carries sleds with backs, just made for little
- ones. Of course, I don't have their catalog here, but you can probably
- call for 800 information.
