My entire family enjoys playing in the snow! Who doesn't? We've had every sled imaginable and this is tough because we liked them all. Different sleds work better for different conditions. Plastic sleds though overall are more flexible and work best as they adapt better for different snow conditions. My family preferred a steerable sled but we had our fair share of basic plastic sled that were loads of fun as well. Wooden toboggans you need to have the right conditions for and tubes can make you fly in the air if you hit any kind of snow drift at the bottom of your hill.
