Zipfy a Snow Sled You'll Want To Own

Zipfy (pronounced as Zip'fee) is a unique award winning Canadian designed snow sled that is lots of fun for children and adults.  We really like this lightweight design as it is easy to carry it up the hill even for little ones.  Since it is only 3.5 lbs we don't feel as tired carrying it up the hill, so we can easily spend a few hours going down the hill. 
Zipfy is made in the US with HDPE rugged plastic and it can carry a weight of 250 lbs.  I think Zipfy is a must have for everyone young and old who like playing in the snow.  Everyone in the family will enjoy sliding down on Zipfy so I would totally recommend one per person in the family so we can race and slide down together.  
Zipfy classic is recommended for everyone over the age of 5 years.  Last year when my son was 3 years I bought our first Zipfy online at Chapters and allowed him to go down small hills on the Zipfy classic.  If you want a specifically for children age 3 to 6 years then they have Zipfy Junior.
Using the Zipfy is easy, fun and safe.  To ride it we just have to sit on black area, hold the handle, keep the legs straight with our feet forward and go down the hill.  
To stop the Zipfy from sliding just drop your heels to slow then it will stop.  We can maneuver it by leaning to the side and carving down hill.  
Ready to race
Here are all the places in the world Zipfy is sold at.  If you don't know a place to take Zipfy check out their suggested tobogganin​g hill.

    Oh goodness. We live in London, Ontario. I often look at these at Chapters/Indigo and wonder how they work. They look like fun. My kids would enjoy them even though we have inherited one of those long silver toboggans that go like the devil down hill. You are reminding me that we haven't done that together this year yet. Maybe this weekend!

    West Kelowna BC Canadiana 67 would be my choice and I don't like the cold so I bail out pretty quick when we go sledding. But my son would go for hours.
