They're not much use at manual labor, but I guess you can give it a small scoop and see how it goes.

This post made me rofl. I’m over here looking at my one year old thinking I have a leg up on those little 8mo old Vermonters!

They're not very scoop shaped, a bit heavier than a normal shovel and you'll hafta bend over pretty far, but I'm sure you can make it work

Strap them to you and get shoveling. Or have your partner watch them. Or if they sleep well carry the monitor with you while you shovel. I know my $50 monitor works over 200ft from the camera.

Check out Nordic napping. I used to clean out a spot large enough for the stroller, bundle kid up and strap in. Seriously best nap for kiddo and super productive for me!

When my kids were that age I'd put them in one of those packs. Do firewood, cut grass, gardening. Ahhh shoots! Now I sound like my parents. Lol. Hey good luck with your snow removal.

Well I have shoveled while wearing babies on my back many times. (For real actually. Gotta do what you gotta do but obviously not everyone is physically capable of doing that.) You can also bundle them up and put them in a sled and let them watch. It’s not that cold out.

They don’t move far. You bundle them up and plop them in the snow and they stay put while you shovel.

The baby isn’t the obstacle, the 200ft driveway is.
