KIDS' SKI BINDINGS

Key factors include your child's weight, height, skiing ability, and boot size. The DIN setting must match your child's weight and skill level for safe release, and the brake width should fit the ski boot sole. Always ensure bindings are compatible with junior boots and the specific skis being used. 

No, kids’ ski boots are not compatible with adult ski bindings. Junior bindings have lower release settings suitable for children’s lighter weight and are designed for junior boot standards. Using the correct binding ensures safety and proper performance on the slopes. 

Always have a certified ski technician mount and adjust your child’s bindings. They will set the correct DIN based on your child’s height, weight, age, boot sole length, and skiing ability. Incorrect setup can increase the risk of injury or void manufacturer warranties. 

Look for multi-directional release for added safety during falls, lightweight construction to reduce fatigue, and tool-free adjustment for growing children. Some bindings also offer compatibility with both junior and adult boot soles, making them versatile as your child grows. 

Bindings should be checked by a technician at the start of each ski season and after any significant impact. Keep them clean and dry, and avoid using soaps or solvents. Regular inspections ensure optimal performance and safety throughout the season.
