To say that this IS not an alternative to a sledge....

[SixtyFootDoll]

Its a car seat??

we saw someone coming down box hill on a potty today

what loons!!!

I could put a couple of those up for sale if any one wants one .

i was just reminiscing today about my friend using her mums best silver (family heirloom) tray to sledge on when we were younger. She was in so much trouble

Someone else is selling a tin tray as an 'alternative' sledge.

We were using DS2's old 'little tikes police motor bike' as our alternative sledge, was great!

"Winter Fun Seat"

lol it is very good marketing

I'm not sure their base is smooth is it (the car seat)?

It were a plastic bag in my day...

It's the first time I've been to Box Hill Royalty! There were skiers and snow boarders but plenty of people in recycling boxes and bin bags!

"OR CAN BE USED FOR CHILD CAR SEAT"

no shit

bin liner. Can't beat it. I used to get a cracking speed up as a child on a plain old bin liner.

Hehe someone obviously has been listening to my ideas about how to reuse old car seats - well, they're not recyclable and difficult to sell as you're not supposed to buy second hand.

Does nowhere sell proper sledges now?
(smug after an afternoon in the park whizzing along on DHs Davos sledge, over 40 years old and still going strong.)

lol anything to make money

Someone snapped off the lid to my wheelie bin the other day andim sure it was to sledge on...not impressed.

You cant buy sledges at the moment anywwhere nSouth Wales

Bugger, and I told dd we don't have a sledge to play out on, and there was one in the car all along....

Blue rubble sacks from Pundland. Brilliant.

Bin liner!! That's what I used as a youth in the US..

We used to use the bonnet off an old car on the sand dunes - don't know it would work on snow...

Sometimes am surprised I made it too adulthood.

We were thinking of using the lid off our roof top box, but would be expensive to replace it!

morloth a 16 year old girl died last winter using a bonnet of a car as a sledge a couple of others were seriously injured.
