At minimum, check DIN and forward pressure at the start of each season using the child's current weight and ability level. Recheck whenever boot size changes, which can happen mid-season for growing kids. If the child has had a significant growth spurt or their skiing has noticeably improved (more speed, more aggressive turns), recalculate the DIN. A certified technician should perform the adjustment and verify release.
