Sleighs & Toboggans

Vintage-style toboggans are a fun and nostalgic way to have fun in the snow during the winter time. They are typically made from a hard wood, like ash, birch, or maple.

How do I use a toboggan safely for sledding?
Safe tobogganing and sledding can be achieved with a few basic precautions. Since toboggans can’t be steered, it’s best to avoid certain conditions, like steep hills, icy snow, or especially rough terrain. Make sure that when seated in your toboggan, you’re always positioned feet-first and facing forward, while making sure the path ahead is free of rocks, debris, trees, and other potential hazards.

What conditions are best for a toboggan sleigh?
Tobogganing is an especially fun winter activity, but there are ways to ensure that it’s both fun and safe. First, make sure your chosen sledding hill isn’t too steep or filled with any obstacles, like ditches, trees, bodies of water, rocks, fences, or other potential dangers. Further, it's best to avoid tobogganing when the snow is too icy, as this can make your toboggan much harder to control. Last, don’t sled in the dark – ensure your path and surrounding area are always well-lit and free of other riders. A protective snow helmet is also a great way to add some extra safety to your next sledding adventure.
