Buying Guide: Choosing Winter Sleds and Snow Toys

Sleds and Toboggans
The toddler toboggan is made of injection molded plastic with a wide base for a stable ride, plus raised foot support and a seat area that keep toddlers above cold snow. The foam saucer sled has a slick bottom and one set of handles, and it suits young children who like to spin as they slide. The Aurora foam sled has laminated top and bottom surfaces that resist cracking in cold weather, and it is lightweight and easy to carry.

Snow Tubes for Families
The Hurricane inflatable snow tube is made of PVC and measures 56 in. across, large enough for up to 2 riders. It has two sets of sturdy handles and a slick bottom for fast rides on a snowy hill. The tube can also float in water during the summer.

Snow Play Accessories
The snow markers are large color markers sold as a set of 12. Add water and a color packet to the container to make an instant marker for painting a snowman or drawing in the snow. The snowman kit has 20 plastic pieces, including a carrot nose, top hat and coal-style eyes, and the plastic snowball slingshot launches snowballs about 3 in. across as far as 50 feet.
