"The best sled under 50 bucks"

I recently bought several blow-up and plastic snow sleds to try. This one is the favorite of the whole family. While all other sleds go wherever they want, this sled has a steering wheel and indeed goes wherever you want. It also seems very durble - I am 180 lbs and rode it together with my 7 year old daughter, even jumping over snow bumps. 5 stars

"The Coolest Sled on the Hill"

If you're willing to spend $60 bucks on a sled, this is the one that you want. It's fast, steers very well and has breaks. It's also going to turn heads on the sledding hill. My boy busted it out yesterday at a busy snowhill and everyone was eyeballing it. It was also the fastest thing on the hill.

I agree that it was a bit difficult to snap together (I assembled it inside), because it is made of rugged, thick plastic. But I think that that heavy duty plastic also makes it a quality product. I feel like this was a good purchase and I would definately buy this again. 5 stars

"A must for the quivver"

This steerable skidoo-like sled is a great addition to the normal arsenal of sliding equipment. The steering works very well, even at higher speeds, allowing perfect lines through trees, off jumps, around other sledders and across the hill should the slope become too steep. The side skis are long enough to distribute weight well and allow very zippy speeds -- it is hard to pass this sled in icy or hard pack conditions. The sled is also very sturdy and rugged enough to withstand not only big air and hard landings, but also the inevitable bashing into a fence or tree. I found it pretty difficult to assemble because the hard plastic was cold and very rigid, and the joints required some pounding to lock in place...but it might be easier if done inside when the plastic is warmer. 5 stars

"could be better"

I bought this sled for my 4 year old. It does go fast, almost too fast for him. The breaking system is a little difficult for my son. He often forgets to use it. It goes the best in our plowed driveway. My husband had a difficult getting it to go together. The skis are supposed to snap into place. They have never fully snapped in. It is not as big a hit as we thought it would be. 3 stars

"Both Blasters Broke the First Time out"

Both Flexible Flyer PT Blasters broke the first time we used them. The steering worked well the first couple of times down the hill but then the steering bracket broke as well as the steering wheel shaft on both sleds. This is a good concept it just needs to be stronger. There wasn't a weight limit anywhere on the sleds that I saw. 1 star
