Pulkka is mostly the name for the toboggan used for children. The pulled device used for transport is fi:Ahkio, sv:Ackja. I don't really see the need for different article for pulk(ka). It is just the different language name for toboggan. --SM (talk) 02:14, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In Swedish sv:Ackja is exclusively used about the Sami reindeer-pulled pulka. (Ahiko stems from the Norse word "akjo"), but more importantly both the pulka and the ackja are built more like a flat-bottomed boat which means its a totally different construction.

At least in the US, the difference between a pulk and a sled seems to be the rigid towing system. Note this practice among the various manufactures via here:
In some cases the same sled is sold with and without the rigid towing system and in one case it is called a sled and the other a pulk.
