All Things Kids!
Are you looking to gain some knowledge and advice on how to size bikes and skis for your little one? If yes, then this is the page for you! Some information on this page is based on age. Since we know that not all kids are of similar size at the same age, some further determination on your end, based on the information below, might be needed to best suit your little one's needs. This is just a reference starting point and we hope it helps!

#AsTheyGrowDLH Buy-Back Program
Getting equipment for kids can be stressful - trying to find gear that fits while leaving enough room for growth (in both size and skill). Continental’s #AsTheyGrowDLH buy-back program helps to lower that stress for junior skiers to make sure they are on the correct gear year after year.
The selection of junior equipment eligible for #AsTheyGrowDLH comes with a buy-back value. Eligible equipment purchased in the current season and returned between April 1st and April 30th will receive a Continental account credit worth 50% of the original purchase price. Any gear returned between May 1st and July 31st will receive a 35% credit. Any gear returned between August 1st and September 30th will receive a 20% credit.
