plain jane Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I'm thinking of ordering a Zipfy off amazon.com and having it shipped as a gift. It's been a while since I've lived somewhere that's fantastic for that sort of thing so I'm a bit out of the loop. They seem a bit pricey for a sled but the reviews seem decent. Anybody have one of these and can vouch for whether: a) they're worth the cost b) they're funner than fun and would make a great gift c) what age group these are best for?

plain jane Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Anyone have one? I think maybe I'll look for another gift idea. Any thoughts for a 10 year old, active boy who loves to be outside? I'm trying to think outside the box and get him something his mom wouldn't think of.

Mom in High Heels Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 It's cool, but I'd hate to give a gift that they can only use IF it snows, KWIM? BTW, how lazy are kids that they need this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, how lazy are kids that they need this? *snort* I remember my mom getting us this plastic brick-like thing that had an end open...it was to make snow bricks with, to build a fort. Or igloo, but Mom freaked out when we had a very short tunnel, an igloo would have had her on the ceiling. :001_huh: I think the only thing it was ever used for was hitting each other with :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it lazy or the beginnings of OCD? :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&Rs Mom Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 We don't have them, but my dd's saw the same thing at Target the other day (different brand I think but same shape) and they both really wanted one. I think they'd be good for places guaranteed snow, maybe ages 6-12? They seemed pretty sturdy, but I don't think my big behind would fit on there. :lol: It would be easier to carry back up the hill than a standard sled, but only good for downhill sledding, not pulling stuff around the yard.
