Flexible Flyer snow sled
Very sturdy snow sled. Had one when I was a kid. Bought this one for my grandsons.

This is the real sled that I used as a kid. It is super fast & fun.
My 9 yr old was super excited to have this gift under the tree. The last one she had was over 100 years old. It had dry rotted and broke when she last used it. This new wooden sled is coated with a sort of polyurethane. It should last another 100 yrs. The skids are super, super fast and do not require the traditional "use of rubbing a bar of soap before use" on them. The 60 inch size sled is a plus, as two older kids are able to ride at the same time. Being able to steer with the forward wood bar, give the rider more control as to the direction they are going. I am very pleased with this purchase. The price is was a little steep, but the durability, sturdiness, and reliability make it worth the price. I highly recommend this product for anyone who remembers the great fun of sledding as a kid and wants to repeat that experience with their own child!

Great product, if you’re sent the right one!
I can only speak to its looks for now, as it’s unused until Christmas when my son will open it. It looks very beautiful and structurally sound! This product looses one star from me because I was originally sent a product I could not use! The original one I was sent was missing a bold, frame was bent, and some of the wood was cracked. Based on other reviews, this seems common. I’m guessing it was a bad batch? The original one was built in 2017. The new one I was sent is 2028, so clearly they fixed whatever the issue was. Amazon made it easy to return and reorder. So be warned, you could be sent a faulty product, but I think it’s worth trying to get the newer, quality one. Hopefully they are no longer sending the faulty ones! I will update this review to speak to its usage and durability. Happy holidays!
