If space isn’t an issue it’s a great toy.

If space was a problem, I may have bought the fold up version but, space is not a problem for us

The slide it distorts and twists easily compared to other slides that are blow molded (having a hollow space inside of four distinct sides?)My experience is that you can spend a lot of money on the higher-end play

n’t do that since my space is limited

It buckles slightly as they go up and down

We put duct tape over the top two rails to hold them down so it works as it's supposed to

The slide itself is very flimsy and is no way as strong as the one from years ago.

I have 3 littles (1,2, and 5) who use it frequently, as well as; 2 older kids (8 and 10) and their numerous friends who I often catch on it

We use it alone as well as in a smal ball pit or baby pool.

As a worry-wart parent, I rest assured my toddler does not get hurt as he enjoys throwing himself down a slippery slope.

Its sturdy as for my 18mo

He smiles as he slides down it

I figured it could be used on the grass as well as on the beach and they could slide into the lake

he needs the handles to steady himself as he sits to slide down
