After a few trips to the park, my 18mo/old started going around all day saying "slide". We don't have the room in our backyard for a playset, so we settled on this one. I don't think she has left the thing alone for 5 min since we got it. The bottom of the slide spits the child out only about 2 inches off the ground. However, after much sliding over carpet, my child started holding her little rear. So, we put an exercise mat at the bottom to cushion the end of the ride, and she loves it!!! It does fold, but not too easily, however, I have not had the chance to put it up :-)

I was so excited about getting a slide for my twin girls. I knew it would mean constant guidance at 15 months, but figured I'd start with the smallest, simplest, and least dangerous. HA HA! Wrong! This is very small, but too small for even this age, since they sit and their feet are almost half way down it to start. There is no platform to sit on at the top, and there isn't a railing on the slide itself to hang onto. It is so short and steep it is like a freefall and slam straight into the ground. The steps are vertical and impossible for wee ones to climb. I'm a tomboy and don't mind some thrill, but this is just poorly designed I'm going to try the Hide and Slide instead. Looks a little more gradual, like there is a railing, and claims it is meant for little ones with the multiplatforms.

My son got this slide at 18 months and loves it. Since it stays inside, he can slide rain or shine. Yes, it's short, yes it's steep, but it doesn't stop him from going down it a HUNDRED times!

My only complaint would be that it is smaller than I expected it to be but I could have figured that out from the product description. It was great for the price, however. Though it is small my kids enjoy sending themselves and their toys down it. Fun!

The slide is WAY too steep, and there are no sides-child can fall off very easily. The worst thing, however, is that there is no place at the top of the slide for the child to get himself in a sitting position to go down slide. This is a very poorly designed product.

This slide was puchased for a 15 month old. My complaint with this slide is that it is virtually impossible for a small child to walk up and slide down this slide. An adult has to put them on the top of the slide and slide them down. This is due to the fact that the bottom step is located directly below the next step up. If you notice, all correctly engineered slides have graduated steps. The only step a child sees on this slide when walking up or trying to walk back down the steps is the top step, the bottom step is virtually invisible being completely underneath the top step (there are only two steps). So the child tries to lift their leg onto a step which is too high. Then the top side rails are very low and the slide is pitch waaaaay too steeply. Horrible engineering. And a cautionary note: if the child tries to slide down the slide with bare feet, their feet will stick to the slide and pitch them right off into the air. This actually happened, luckily while I was holding onto the toddler, but otherwise I'm sure she would have been hurt. I can't imagine that this has not happened many times to other children.
I would never purchase this slide again. The child really enjoys sliding, but I would definitly purchase a different model. I'm getting pretty disgusted with Little Tikes toys.

This slide is poorly designed. Instead of a scoop where it's steep up top, and flat at the bottom, it's like falling off the top of a circle, where you go faster and faster until -wham- your bottom hits the ground. After my two year old got several "boo-boos" on her bum from slamming into the ground, we tossed it out and ordered something else. Do yourself and your kid a favor: get a different slide.

This is a nice durable slide, but my daughter has a hard time climbing it because there's nothing to hang onto at the top. Therefore, she's lost interest in it. I think once she's older, she may go back to it, but by then, we'll have something bigger and better, I'm sure. Right now, it's sitting outside on the patio collecting rain, dirt and dust.

My 10 month old is now able to climb the slide and go down facing forward. It is great for his gross motor and it will be fun for years to come.

I bought this slide for the little one I babysit a few months back. At the time he was only 23 months old but he loved it from the moment he saw it and plays on it daily. We used it inside for about a month then took it outside. The only problem we came across was when we took it outside he had sneakers on and the handles on the sides weren't high enough for him to hold on to while he was trying to get his feet pulled up to sit down and his sneaker got stuck and he fell backwards. He was fine, got up and tried again. He only fell that once and managed to figure out a way to get into a sitting position without his sneakers getting stuck. We also use this slide in his kiddie pool and he spends hours climbing up and sliding down into the water. All and all it's a great slide for inside or outside.
