When there is a good inch of snow on the ground pushchairs are useless as the wheels won’t turn. Effectively this means that a pushchair is useless in Montréal from December until April.
You won’t believe what’s used instead! A sledge of course! Once your little one can sit up straight, you dress them all warmly in:
- hat – known as a toque
- gloves – hint put them on before the coat or buy bigger ones to go over the sleeves
- scarf or “cache cou”
- boots – starts at size 20 so once a child is between 12 and 18 months
- bunting suit
and they can follow you around in a sledge.
When you arrive in Montréal for your first winter you’ll realise that there is a lot ot buy. It’s worthwhile going to the Mountain Equipment Co-operative at Marché Central as they sell good quality stuff at a reasonable price.
