Happy New Year! It’s so great to be able to wake up to a completely fresh slate and peak organization. Winter has officially hit NYC and honestly, I’m here for it! My kids love winter activities like skiing and snowboarding, but one they really enjoy is sledding. Moreover, sledding is something the kids can do with each other! The only thing needed is a sled! Here are the best sleds of the season for some winter fun on your next snow day!
Firstly, there are a plethora of different sleds to choose from and they are all so cool. You can go the traditional route and grab a plastic toboggan one like the good old days, or you can go the modern way and pick up a blow up option. My kids think those are the coolest new thing this winter! It makes you feel like you’re driving the sled down the hill, rather than just riding it down. Furthermore, having a slick bottom, tow rope, pull rope, or being able to reach high speeds are main things that make for hours of fun.
Moreover, a few different types of sleds to look into are an inflatable sled, flexible flyer, inflatable snowmobile, slippery racer or a classic toboggan. Although, I must say, a saucer sled is one of those classic, cheap plastic sleds that make for a great option because of the built in handles, light weight design and simplicity that make for the right decisions. It’s kinda the perfect sled.
Specifically, I feel like sledding is one of those activities that everyone has great childhood memories of! I love that my kids enjoy sledding because it’s an outdoor activity that keeps them occupied and happy. It’s so refreshing to have something that gets them outside, keeps them active and off technology. It’s a much needed break from school work, too! In the right conditions, it can be an opportunity for some fresh air and good exercise! I love when my kids get to play outside!
The perfect snow sled is something that is a great purchase for the winter! Be sure to wear a helmet to avoid head injuries and pay attention to safety features on the sleds when you are purchasing them. There are a lot of kids who play on the hills and it’s important to focus on safety. Additional features like heavy-duty plastic, a steering wheel and built-in handles are great to have.
Finally, what’s great about it, is that it’s such a versatile sport– if we can call it that! For instance, everyone can use so many different forms of sleds. This is one of those activities that is available in so many places, too. For example, all we need is a hill and snow! It’s something you can do as a family, as well, which is great time spent with one another. These are the 15 best snow sleds of the season and I wish you all a happy winter!
I want to know, what are your favorite memories from sledding as a kid? And do your children enjoy it?

It doesn’t snow where we live, so we don’t need any sleds. But I’m hoping to take my girls to see snow before the winter ends!
Okay. These sleds are amazing. I would have never found them myself, so that’s for bringing them out for me. My bank account DOES NOT thank you, but I do. LOL

I didn’t grow up with snow but my hubby did and he loves it! Now that we have a little one of our own, we take him to see the snow whenever we can. He loves sledding and so do I! It’s just carefree and fun. We have a tube sled but I would love to get that inflatable snowmobile for my little guy!

Those are all so cute! We love our LL Bean tube, which is very solid, but also huge! I love the llama tube, that is adorable.
Sledding is a great winter activity for kids that could be done even in the city. All necessary is a snow sled and winter clothes. I remember that my friends and I had many wonderful winter days. But yes, there are so many new and different sleds nowadays to choose from…Wow!
This is amazing! Playing and skating on the snow is fun with family
I wish we had the weather for snow sleds but we barely get any snow. I think the last real snowfall was 2011 when we had the big freeze! Other than that, you need to live up high to get a decent snowfall.
Some great options here and so much fun! I think we are due to get a new one as think my daughter has outgrown our existing one. Love the look of the donut! Now all we need in the UK is some snow…
My kids could spend all day playing in the snow. They need a better sled. I think they would like the inflatable ones.
I like the idea of the inflatable snow tube. It seems like the easiest one to store year after year!
These are the cutest sleds I have ever seen! When my son was younger he loved being pulled in yellow toboggan! Sleds are great fun for the kids to enjoy the winter!
One of my greatest memories of playing in the snow is sledding down the hill near my elementary school. Every winter, we would anxiously await the first snowfall and race to the hill to see who could go fastest down the hill.
We are still waiting for the first snow to fall here, and the kids are so excited to play in the snow. Thanks for sharing these snow sleds
WeI had one of the most beautiful snowfalls in my life. I and my friends took our horses out in the snow and took a ride on a trail. It was the only and best memory Ive had in snow
Unfortunately, we don’t have winter in our country. I’ll definitely keep this in mind when I spend my Christmas at Canada or US. Great photos!
Who knew that there were so many types of sleds! We have the long plastic one and love it!
I’ve never been sledding but it would be so fun!
We live in a place where there is not much winter, it’s warm all year round. But these snow activities are so wonderful, my daughter wants to do all these. Hope we can take her to a snowy place one winter.
Hhhhmmmm….alright! If you say so. I will look into each of them further! Thanks for sharing about them.
