Slide made for small child (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'slide made for' is the definition.
'skid' can be an answer for 'slide' (skidding is a kind of sliding). I am not certain of the 'made for' bit.

'small child' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'child' becomes 'kid' (synonyms).
's'+'kid'='SKID'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skid that I've seen before include "Slip out of control" , "Of vehicle, slide as on ice" , "potential cause of accident" , "Slide sideways" , "Swerve out of control" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
