This sled seems to be a good choice for kids sledding. The first thing I noticed was the impressive sturdiness; it feels thick and durable, unlike the flimsy plastic versions that tend to crack after a single season. It glides well over the snow, maintaining a smooth and consistent path. It has a plenty long pull rope to pull your kid around without it running up on your feet as well. I’ve been using it to pull my two-year-old son around the yard and have had no issues. I haven't tested it yet down a sledding hill but don't foresee any issues. Even on the slight downhill grade of our backyard it will slide. I would recommend this sled.
