Rule the sledding hill with hot, handmade update of classic Flexible Flyer. Goes blazingly fast and true on ultraslick plastic bottom raised and runnerlike at sides. Steers like a dream. You'll be glad when the kid wants a break, so you can shred solo. Still, max bliss is you and Junior screaming downslope. Artisanal-looking, with richly finished wooden top, so Mama might not mind the price. Get the longer, 52-inch model and pop for seat pad. Both for $160 from Mountain Boy, which has nice words, pics and vids. About $20 less from Amazon.com.
