Luge Pelican Sizzler 36

We have 3 daughters (all born in spring) and do lots of sking and snowshoeing in winter time. We used the blue pelican baby sled for all 3 girls for their first 2 winters ages 8 months then 20 months. By age 3, this is the sled to have. It's great for towing. We need it to tow our youngest around the mountain, to/from ski lessons etc...She holds her skis on her lap. We zap strapped the brakes closed on the handles so there is no braking possible for towing the girls. We have yet to remove the zap straps, our kids are ages 3 1/2, 6 1/2 and 8 1/2. Will probably take the zap straps off next winter then it will be solely used for tobagganing probably next year and onward.

went snowmobiling old foam one disapired new one :LOVE IT

thing broke after a month. not worth the money....

Bought one of these to replace an older similar sled for our kids. This is now their favourite sled. Good price point. Good value for money. Others have mentioned a problem with the brakes/steering. I have a solution to that problem. The brake/steering levers don't lift up high enough because the red housing prevents them from going too high. Simply use a hand saw or a knife to cut the top of the housing off which allows the levers to be pulled higher, and hence allows the brake to dig deeper into the snow. That's all you have to do. It's just a small design-flaw that doesn't allow the lever to be pulled up high enough. See attached photos. Don't let the issue of poor braking and poor steering deter you from buying this sled. You can fix that very easily and very quickly without damaging the sled.

This sled is very stable due to the runners and being the part of the sled that contacts the snow. It typically goes the farthest of any type single person sled on the hill. The seating part keeps your you know a few inches above the snow and prevents or lessens impacts as a result. The footrests and "hand brakes" allow for a secure seating position which is really good for my child with a disability. As others have mentioned the brakes don't work for steering or braking as they are far too small/short to have any resistance effect, they might work on a hard pack or ice. It is light enough to be carried and there is a edge all the way around that can be used for this and having to tie and untie the rope would is tedious. Very good overall for fast, straight line stable sledding.
