Kinder-Schlitten

The air cushion really does soften the bumps, my son slid down the hill twice as fast without a single complaint. It's wider than our old plastic one so both kids can squeeze on together, and it hasn't deflated at all after a full weekend of use.

My daughter refuses to come inside now that this sled arrived—she loves that it's got the Barbie styling but honestly I've taken it down the hill myself a few times too. The air-cushioned base makes for a surprisingly smooth ride even on packed snow.

The air-cushioned seat is what sold me—my daughter can ride for hours without complaining about a cold, hard bottom. We took it to the neighborhood hill and even I gave it a go, it glides surprisingly smooth for something so lightweight.
