When winter is in full swing, sledding is one of the few outdoor activities you can do with both kids and friends. Otherwise, you risk being stuck inside all day. Sledding is also more affordable than you think. All you need is a sled, a decent amount of snow and a hill.

If you're on the lookout for a sled or snow tube this season, retailers like Target, Amazon and L.L.Bean will ship one right to your door so you're not spending hours wandering stores. From toboggans to the inflatable to the wacky, check out the eight best places to order a sled online. 

1. L.L.Bean

Our pick: Sonic Snow Saucer DLX—from $45

L.L.Bean has several branded toboggans and snow tubes that come highly rated, including the popular Sonic Snow Tube. Other sleds, like the iconic wooden toboggan, still have rave reviews and will last for years to come. Note that inventory is limited at the Maine-based retailer so act sooner than later to get one.

2. Amazon

Our pick: Slippery Racer Downhill Xtreme Toboggan—from $35

Amazon has everything you can think of, including, yes, sleds. There are currently more than 400 sled options at the retailer, but be wary of third-party sellers. Read reviews carefully—that way you won't end up with a toboggan with a crack or a tube that won't inflate. With Prime shipping, you can get one at your door in as little as two days, which is useful if you're trying to time your delivery with the next snowstorm. 

3. Home Depot

Our pick: Emsco Family Fun Four-Rider Toboggan Sled—$56

Yes, the place you buy your home improvement tools has a plethora of sleds, toboggans and snow tubes to choose from. Home Depot's sleds are scarcer, but there are a good number of popular plastic sleds and inflatables—like this fun peppermint candy one. While most of these sleds have free shipping for orders of $45 or more, you can opt to pick one up in stores.

4. Dick's Sporting Goods

Our pick: Spyder Shredder Pro Sled—$99

Aside from actual snow sport equipment, Dick's Sporting Goods has a good selection of sleds and tubes. The selection varies from slider sleds to inflatables, with nearly all available for shipping. Depending on where you live, you can opt for in-store pickup as well. Not sure which kind of sled to get? Dick's has this handy guide breaking down the types of sleds and the ideal materials for each condition.

5. Walmart

Our pick: Zipfy Freestyle Mini Luge Snow Sled—$45

Walmart has a ton of sleds and snow tubes to sift through. But, like Amazon, Walmart also has third-party sellers you'll want to watch out for unless they're a verified pro-seller. If you're unsure, we recommend sticking to sleds that have been highly reviewed, are sold directly from Walmart and are eligible for free shipping with a Walmart+ membership.

6. Macy's

Our pick: EMSCO Sports Triangle Inflatable Snow Tube—$28

This department store is a hidden gem for buying sleds online. There's a good selection of plastic toboggans and fun inflatables. While the amount of inventory is smaller than other big box stores, you'll find frequent price drops on sleds at Macy's.

7. Target

Our pick: H2OGO! 69" Unicorn Snow Tube—$20

Target has a robust selection of sleds, with an emphasis of fun inflatables in the shapes of unicorns and dragons. Additionally, you'll find classic discs and plastic toboggans that are always a go-to for snowy weather. For smaller kids, Target offers options that are safe for babies and toddlers to use down a small hill. 

8. Maisonette

Our pick:Penguin Snow Sled—$19

If you're in need of sleds for toddlers and babies, Maisonette has adorable options. The selection is smaller but each are just the right size for small children and safe to use on the slopes.
