#21 Snow Sled For Kids: Featuring a durable body, steering wheel, braking system, and retractable tow rope for the ultimate in safe sledding excitement - it's not just a sled, it's an entire snowy adventure package!
Review: "This sled is epic! It has a automatic retractable tow rope for pulling the sled back up the hill, but we have also used it to pull our kids down the driveway in. The only assembly requires was just putting the steering wheel into place. It does have a brake handle to pull back in. It has an anti slip seat and fits my 3 year old and my almost 6 year old great! They had so much fun on this sled. It was an awesome Christmas present and was most definitely a great value for the money!" — Always a Mom

#22 RC Truck Remote Control Snow Plow: Because conquering any terrain while plowing sand and light powdery snow gives them all the thrills, perfect for an adventure-driven Christmas gift.
Review: "The packaging was damaged - as I knew it would be from the option I selected, but the truck was so well packaged the box could’ve taken a real beating and the truck would’ve been fine. Works as advertised! Dad and I charged it up for about ten minutes and got twenty minutes of fun from it, weird rain storms have melted most of the NorCal snow - so we tested it on some household items to see how much it could handle. I’m sure it could push more weight as snow it slippery and household items kind of just dead weight on the floor. It was able to handle around 8 pounds, and could lift about 3-4 pounds with the blade and drive around no problem! This thing is fast, and turns really smoothly. Definitely a great buy for a boy (or grown man) that is into hobby trucks! I am impressed and definitely will buy more trucks from this brand!" — Krysta

#23 Sandbox Digger Excavator Crane: Designed not only for sand and dirt, but also perfect for shoveling snow in your backyard reminiscent of a playful construction site experience.
Review: "Both my 3 year old and 7 year old love this. It took my 3 year old some practice to understand the hand eye coordination needed to lift or drop the bucket with his left hand and scoop/drop stuff with his right. In regards to assembly, it was easy except for the seat. You have to screw into the plastic directly. There were no starter holes and one screw had no point. It took a lot of arm muscle to push it through and hope we didn't strip the screw. The rest was fine. It's sturdy metal without being super heavy. The seat is plastic." — Jill

#24 Monsta Trax Kids Snowshoe: A fun and safe way for your little ones to leave cool monster tracks in the snow, taking their snow adventures to a whole new level!
Review: "This was a great toy for the kids, good for entry level and teaching the kids about snow shoes and how they work, the straps were a little crappy and didn't hold when adjusted but that was a good lesson for the kids on how to make something work when you're in a sticky spot, we just knotted the strap behind the buckle so it wouldn't slide back out, it wasn't enough of a problem that I wouldn't recommend them. Fair for the price and the kids love em and blazing their own trails in the backyard, I would recommend." — Justin K
