1.0 out of 5 stars Stuck in the snow, December 10, 2001

I'm sorry to say that I was very disapointed with the quality of this product. I had 2 concerns with the build quality of the sleigh, 1st the side rails were not mounted securely and were prone to wobbling which did not instill confidence in their safety factor. Secondly was with the mounting set-up for the runners of the sleigh, the surface that the runers mounted too was almost twice as wide as the actual runners themselves which caused the snow to build up under the sleigh creating a fair amount of drag, which could cause the sleigh to become unstable and tip over. I have since returned the sleigh and am currently looking for another that is built better.

1.0 out of 5 stars USELESS and DANGEROUS, January 29, 2010

We received this as a splurge gift from the grandparents. It LOOKS lovely and appears to be high quality however it is USELESS.

Neither of my babies (at sitting up independently stage) could not be pulled in the sled as the tugging of the rope caused the sled to tip backwards and dumped the babies out. DANGEROUS! I assumed it was due to their weight being too low.

I tried again in the toddler years when they were heavier and taller, thinking maybe then it would work but it didn't work. It seemed stuck in the snow and would not pull. Then when we tugged harder or faster, again the sled tipped backward and dumped the child out!

I asked two friends about theirs (when I saw them being stored in their garages!) and was told they didn't work for them either, but they too were keeping them since they were gifts from the grandparents and were nice wooden objects; they felt guilty giving the `like new' items away.

After allowing this lovely piece of woodworking to sit in my garage for twelve years I finally donated it to a thrift shop.

The most disappointing thing was this is not an inexpensive item and it is made by a reputable company FLEXIBLE FLYER yet it is completely USELESS and DANGEROUS!

There is a less beautiful, one piece solid plastic, brightly colored sled on the market for toddlers that actually glides in the snow and does not tip over, the PARICON 625 TODDLER BOGGAN. Consider buying that one, it works and is safe. Someone gave us that as a hand-me down and we used it with success.

4.0 out of 5 stars ok, but only for small toddlers, January 19, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Flexible Flyer Wooden Baby Sleigh (Sports)

This sleigh is ok, but for my son it will only work this year. He is a very big boy and at 15 months I have to watch him closely, he might fall out. The wood that this sleight is made from is very delicate and it might not even work for bigger babies. For this price I give it an ok. But if you need something for a 2 year toddler I would not recommend - my son is that size and this year this will do, but next year no way.
