About products and suppliers

The plastic sled refers to the sled made of plastic. The sled is a vehicle that has long and narrow strips of wood or metal instead of wheels and allows the user to travel over snow and ice. The plastic sleds bring their users entertainment and exercise by zooming down and pulling the vessel back up.

Factors that need to be considered when choosing a plastic sled

For safety and a better entertainment experience, the user should consider the following factors when choosing a plastic sled for snow.

The first factor is the material. Though many sleds are made of some sort of plastic, their materials still vary. Thermoplastic is ideal, as it's generally durable and resistant to very cold temperatures. Thicker materials, such as double-walled or injection-molded plastic, are less likely to break. Cheaper plastics can be pierced or splinter when impacted and cause significant injury. Some sleds have foam or another type of padding on the seat to enhance comfort or add insulation so the user’s backside doesn't get as cold. The second factor is the plastic sleds' capacity and carrying weight. Some plastic sleds are intended for one or two riders, while some are only for one rider. The user should check the suggested number of riders, weight capacity, and suitable age range to determine who can ride the sled and how many can ride at once. Large plastic sleds are pulled by horses or dogs, and smaller ones or kids’ plastic sleds are used for going down hills as a sport or for pleasure. According to different needs, there are also round plastic sleds and heavy-duty plastic sleds available. Besides, steering capabilities and safety features like rotating side handles that double as a steering system and independent brakes are also important.

Tips for using plastic sleds

Here are some tips for using a plastic sled that may help the user. First, when sledding down the hill, the feet should be the first because sledding down the hill head first makes it harder to steer and leaves the user’s skull vulnerable to impacts if the user falls off the sled. Second, leaning backward in a toboggan, sled, or saucer and pulling back the sled's steering strings can help the player decelerate. Third, the user can stick his heels into the surface of the snow to steer. Digging the feet deep into the snow and planting the toes into the snow when on an incline may hurt the player. Fourth, if the player is going to hit a tree or rock, he had better cover his head and eyes with his arms and roll out to bail out of the sled instead of hitting it.
