Canadian here, def not toboggan. Those are sledges, or sleds.

Basically the same thing, but made in Finland. Finland is almost Canada. If Finland actually exists.

You're lucky you've got enough snow. I've got one of those as well, in orange, and it split down the middle, beneath the seat, because we really don't get enough snow here to merit owning a sled - those few winters we did get snow, though, we did as much sledding as we possibly could, and that's how the plastic sled got split.

You could go slide on all the ice that you've been livin' in.

I live in The South. Folks around here do call those hats 'toboggans,' 'beanies,' 'knit caps,' and 'wool caps.'

Also easy for it to break down to a micro level and soon kill us all or do nothing at all. IDR if we ever found out what micro plastics do to us.

Ah man the memories, we had these as kids in early 90s/00s and they'd get so fast sometimes the only way to stop was to roll out of them. Good times tbh

Lucky bums on Amazon is OK. Certainly not disposable but I would not call it BIFL. Your little guys will grow out of them quickly, so should be good. Have fun with your little ones. That age is the best, enjoy every moment.

Saxx don't hold up if you do a lot of active work/construction (at least in my case)

This was my experience as well. Took my old pulka from when I was young to a skiing "friluftsdag" 12 years later, and it just disintegrated under my ass as I was going down a VERY mild slope

This insight has gotten old and tired by now. It's 2023, just about a quarter of the way through the century.

People intentionally making products less durable because customers only come once when the product lasts for decades.

"Found" out?
We're actively finding out.
Some microplastics reduce sperm count and testosterone levels, though!
