Flexible Flyer Sled - $109.99

This antique sled is a trusted product that dates back over one hundred years. The sled deck is made of birch wood, and is supported by deep red steel runners. An eagle-and-arrow trademark sits on the center deck.

Weighing twelve pounds and measuring 48" in length, the Flexible Flyer Sled is sturdy enough to accommodate anyone aged five and up, including adults. The sled stands up well to rough-and-tumble play from kids, and adverse winter conditions. Riders can easily handle the sled on packed snow and ice, but steering through powder conditions is not recommended.

When the kids are through with sledding, you can decorate the sled with Christmas lights or ornaments, and leave the sled secured on your front porch. Or, you may prefer to fill the sled with gifts and place it under the Christmas tree.
