My son helped this well in his first run attempts. Of course, that was more a change from running and crawling. Getting up dropped him thus easier. For some time, he no longer needs it, rather an inline release from falling during the initial races through the apartment. ;) For the cold days, the stockings are also very good. The feet were kept warm, since just a good cushion created by the wide surface and by the rope. Well - and ducks ... These come with the dwarves probably almost always. Attractive design and great quality.
