A saucer sled with a seat including a concave saucer-shaped sled having an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a continuous rounded outer rim. A trapezoidal base is medially disposed on the interior surface of the sled proximal a back area. A chair has a seat portion, a seatback portion, a right armrest, and a left armrest. A bottom surface of the seat portion of the chair is disposed atop inside the base. A pair of elongated apertures includes a right aperture and a left aperture. Each of the right aperture and the left aperture is disposed through a right area of the sled and a left area of the sled, respectively, along the outer rim.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A saucer sled with a seat comprising:
a concave saucer-shaped sled having an interior surface, an exterior surface, a front area, a back area, a right area, a left area, and a continuous rounded outer rim;
a trapezoidal base medially disposed on the sled interior surface proximal the back area, the base having a right side, a left side, and a rear surface;
a chair having a seat portion, a seatback portion, a right armrest, and a left armrest, wherein a bottom surface of the seat portion is disposed inside the base;
wherein a perimeter of the seat portion substantially conforms to the base; and
a pair of elongated elliptical apertures comprising a right aperture and a left aperture, wherein the right aperture is disposed through the sled right area along the outer rim, and the left aperture is disposed through the sled left area along the outer rim, wherein the right aperture is collinearly disposed at a substantially 180 degree angle to the left aperture;
wherein each of the right aperture and the left aperture is configured to removably fit each of a user's right hand fingers and a user's left hand fingers, respectively, such that the user can hold on to the sled outer rim while seated in the chair.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The saucer sled with a seat of claim 1 further comprising:
a pair of inverted U-shaped tubular handlebars comprising a right handlebar and a left handlebar, each of the right handlebar and the left handlebar having a front end, a back end, and a top section, wherein the front end of the right handlebar is removably disposed atop the sled interior surface between the front area and the right area, and the front end of the left handlebar is removably disposed atop the sled interior surface between the front area and the left area, wherein the back end of the right handlebar is removably disposed atop the sled interior surface between the back area and the right area adjacent to the base right side proximal the rear surface, and the back end of the left handlebar is removably disposed atop the sled interior surface between the back area and the left area adjacent to the base left side proximal the rear surface;
wherein the front end of the right handlebar is collinearly disposed with the front end of the left handlebar;
wherein the back end of the right handlebar is collinearly disposed with the back end of the left handlebar; and
a top cover continuously disposed from the top section of the right handlebar to the top section of the left handlebar;
wherein a length of the top section of each of the pair of handlebars substantially conforms to approximately two-thirds of a length of the top cover.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The saucer sled with a seat of claim 2 wherein the top cover is nylon netting.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)
