Mikayla at age 7-1/2 months in December. She started walking at age 12 months in April. So, by her first birthday, and before she could even walk, she already had a full season of skiing (25 days) under her belt ... thanks to the Kiddie Ski Bar, Tip Lock, Kiddie Lift and plastic skis. However, we recommend starting kids 2-3 months AFTER learning to walk (otherwise people might laugh at us). Check out the KiD-SKi Teaching Aids
