Overview
Flexible Flyer makes this red round saucer from steel, with a slick underside meant to skim down a snowy hill. Two rope handles give the rider something to hold while the saucer slides.
A metal saucer is the traditional shape for quick, simple winter sledding, and this one is sized for a single older child or teen. Some listed figures conflict with each other, so treat them with caution.
Who it's for
Teens and older kids who like a fast, spinning ride on packed snow. Parents of younger kids, or anyone wanting a sled that carries two riders, should look at a different style.
Pros and cons
- Classic round steel saucer
- Rope handles for gripping
- Slick bottom for quick runs
- Suits ages five and up
- Listing gives conflicting weight figures
- Material listed as both steel and plastic
- One rider only
Performance notes
A slick steel underside lets the saucer skim over packed snow, and speed depends mostly on the slope and how firm the snow is. The rope handles are the only hold, so the rider's grip and balance decide how controlled the ride feels.

Frequently asked questions
How do I care for the Flexible Flyer 826 steel saucer?
The listing gives no care instructions. Because the saucer is metal, drying it after use and storing it indoors is common sense, but that is general advice rather than something the listing states.
What age is the Flexible Flyer 826 saucer sled for?
The listing says kids and adults ages 5 and up can use it, one rider at a time.
Can two people ride the Flexible Flyer 826 saucer together?
No. The listing gives the occupancy as 1 person, so it is a single-rider sled.
