Slope Slider Set of 4 Sleds from LL Bean: A Review

With a three year old in the house, winter snow means time for sledding. My husband and I enjoy sledding in the winter snow as well, so we purchased the Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean. I am quite the fan of LL Bean's reputation for long lasting clothing and outdoor and camping equipment. So when I spotted the Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean, they seemed like the natural choice for our family.

The Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean comes as a set of four colorful sleds. The sleds are bright red, yellow, green, and blue. The simple plastic design of the Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean features only a small seat for sitting on, connected to a handle that is held between the legs while sledding down the slopes.

The Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean seemed like a total steal at only $19.95 for the set. Particularly from LL Bean, a company that has a tendency to be a little pricey, this price is excellent.

When the Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean arrived, I quickly realized why the price was so low. The Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean are tiny in size. While my husband and I can manage to fit on the very small seats, they are not really designed for adults. Our son, of course, can easily fit on the tiny seat, but keep in mind if you are ordering the Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean that they will not accommodate most older children or adults because of the small size. Additionally, there is nowhere to place your legs when riding the Slope Slider sleds, so be prepared to use your ab muscles!

Despite the surprisingly small size of the Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean, these are still nice sleds. They are made of durable plastic and have a slick bottom perfect for quickly zipping down a small hill. The Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean are not designed for major sledding on large hills or in deep snow. These simple sleds are best suited for a backyard bout in the snow with younger children. Small children can sit "criss-cross applesauce" on the sled body so the need to use abdominal muscles is eliminated.

Overall the Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean are certainly worth the small $19.95 price tag, if you have small children. If you know ahead of time what you are buying, the Slope Slider set of 4 sleds from LL Bean can give your family years of fun in the snow.
