Flexible Flyer Metal Runner Sled. Steel & Wood Steering Snow Slider

This flexible flyer give me memories when I was little, great memories of a very sturdy and fast, one that every kid wanted including myself. When I bought this as a gift I was equally impressed as not much has changed and it is still a very sturdy reliable sled that brings lots of fun to kids in the winter time. I'm very impressed with the workmanship and quality all around!

Very sturdy snow sled. Had one when I was a kid. Bought this one for my grandsons.

My 9 yr old was super excited to have this gift under the tree. The last one she had was over 100 years old. It had dry rotted and broke when she last used it. This new wooden sled is coated with a sort of polyurethane. It should last another 100 yrs. The skids are super, super fast and do not require the traditional "use of rubbing a bar of soap before use" on them. The 60 inch size sled is a plus, as two older kids are able to ride at the same time. Being able to steer with the forward wood bar, give the rider more control as to the direction they are going. I am very pleased with this purchase. The price is was a little steep, but the durability, sturdiness, and reliability make it worth the price. I highly recommend this product for anyone who remembers the great fun of sledding as a kid and wants to repeat that experience with their own child!

Haven’t used it yet but looks nice.

I can only speak to its looks for now, as it’s unused until Christmas when my son will open it. It looks very beautiful and structurally sound! This product looses one star from me because I was originally sent a product I could not use! The original one I was sent was missing a bold, frame was bent, and some of the wood was cracked. Based on other reviews, this seems common. I’m guessing it was a bad batch? The original one was built in 2017. The new one I was sent is 2028, so clearly they fixed whatever the issue was. Amazon made it easy to return and reorder. So be warned, you could be sent a faulty product, but I think it’s worth trying to get the newer, quality one. Hopefully they are no longer sending the faulty ones! I will update this review to speak to its usage and durability. Happy holidays!

Arrived perfect shape, no damage, Great

I was so happy to get this before Christmas! I had one growing up and decided to get another one for my snowman decor next to the Christmas tree. Also for my own nostalgia! It's beautiful!

How do you make 10-year-old Montanans REALLY happy during one of the snowiest winters on record? I'm not sure about other methods, but a slick ride down a snow-packed hill on this classic beauty of a wooden sled with three friends on the back has been one sure-fire hit for our kids. The plastic sled we started the season with lasted for fewer than 20 rides down the local hill, so we researched more durable sledding choices, including toboggans, metal disks, and fiberglass composite sleds. When I discovered this 54-inch Flexible Flyer available in "used -excellent condition", it didn't take a minute to complete the order. Flooded with nostalgia over riding a similar sled during my own childhood, I couldn't wait to surprise our kids. Due to a couple of negative reviews, I dreaded the prospect of diminished product quality; however, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this modern sled is as sturdily well-built as the one I remembered from the 1960's.

Llegó rapidísimo. Todavía no lo usamos pero a mi hijo le encantó

Kids have fun, can fit 2 children, sturdy, nice looking, all we need is snow 🙂

This was bought for the nostalgia. I was delighted to see a fully functional sled. hopefully my grandkids will have as much fun on this as I had on mine....back in the day!

Love it , just like the one I had when I was a child .

Perfect!
