My 19 month old son loves this climber. However, the design of the back side makes it possible to have a pretty nasty 3-4 foot fall if a child were to lean or slide too far back while sitting on the top platform. With older children this may not be such a problem, but for them the short slide will be pretty tame. Also shipping added about 30% to the cost.

As a daycare provider for several young toddlers, ages 12mo. to 4, I found that this slide is the perfect step up from the smaller slide. The climbling mechanisisms are wonderful for hand and eye cordination and the tilt of the slide adds the extra zip! Yes, the back edges are open, which makes the perfect entry for a blanket over the top tent, however as others have complained this may be dangerous for smaller children, however as with any playgound equipment supervision is required! If your child is bored with the small slide but not quite ready for a mega playground or you simply don't have the room for a huge gym, this is sure a real hit!!!!!!

I bought this for my twin girls who are almost 2.5 years old and they simply love this slide. I was trying to decide between this Hide and Slide Climber and the Kangaroo Climber and I chose this one, and I am glad I went with this slide. Six months ago my girls played on the Kangaroo Slide at a friend's house and loved it, but I found the Hide and Slide Climber to be better for older toddlers as they have to climb two steps to get on to the slide, and then the slide is higher and of greater length, so they can slide faster and longer. I would not recommend this slide for young toddlers (less than 2 years) but certainly for preschoolers, I think this slide is a great buy.

I would recommend this slide if you had a small space because it doesn't take up much room but provides hours of fun. YOu can slide down it, crawl underneath in and out of the tunnels, play peek-a-boo, and climb up the back steps. It is strong and sturdy and no amount of jumping on it (as testing by my energectic daughter) will tip it over. A great slide with the extras the kids will enjoy!

We really didn't know what to expect when we got it. After my husband put it together, we had no more doubts. We surprised our then 18-month-old with it after she came downstairs and her entire face lit up.

It is sturdy, great looking, and a helpful piece of furniture when your child begins to start climbing everything.

We live in Summerlin in the Las Vegas area and it can be extremely cold here so we have the slide inside the house for now. It's not too big for us to have in the family room and it's not to small so that she'd outgrow it fast.

FYI, the slide is a little steep. I wouldn't leave anything near or around the base which she can bump into.

We bought this slide for our daughter's first birthday and she loves it! She had just mastered walking and was starting to climb on our furniture, etc. This slide provided a safe indoor climbing outlet and has improved her coordination immensely. Her older cousins love it too.

The features I like best are the platform at the top of the slide and the fact that there is a bit of thrill in the slope of the slide: The platform allows kids to safely hang out (and seems like a fort) and the slide is tall enough that it envokes lots of giggles!

Be careful where you set it up as it is VERY difficult to get through a standard door frame.

My daughter received this just before her first birthday. She loves to climb so this was perfect. She is able to climb up herself and then slide down on her belly (with supervision). Her favorite thing is to push things (her dolls, toy cars, etc.) down the slide and then slide down after them. It's also great because, while the slide is pretty steep, it does not take up that much room - I have it in my playroom. Another thing that's nice is that, her older cousins (4,5 and 6) also can have fun on it. I would definitely recommend this slide for any active toddler.

Santa left this piece of equipment for our 15 month old son who was beginning to climb on everything. It was the first thing he saw on Christmas morning and was overjoyed. He spent a half hour exploring and climbing on it right away. He loves to play peekaboo and hide things on the top shelf or underneath.
We put it together in our (admittedly oversized) playroom, so he can have a gross motor playtoy indoors for inclement days. Though a young child should always be supervised on any climbing apparatus, I did just order a gym mat for the bottom of the slide, as the angle is steeper than forty-five degrees and provides a fast ride with a quick stop. It's also a nice way for practicing going up and down stairs.

I bought this slide when my son was 14 months old. He loves it. We keep it inside since it is so cold and wet outside right now. It doesn't take up *too* much room in spare bedroom. He loves climbing up and down the steps. He is learning the steps of how to slide (1st sit down, then get one foot in front, then the other, then scooch forward). Just as the product name implies, he loves hiding under it and surprising me and playing peekaboo around the corners. It was a snap to put together maybe 15 minutes tops - if a piece is fitting too snuggly follow the directions and put a little soap on it to help it snap into place. I think son will enjoy this product for some time!

I just got this climber/slide! My 17 month old went nuts over it! It's perfect for my little girl to do her favorite thing (climb) and she figured out how to sit and slide with no problems. It fits great in her playroom and feels very sturdy. I am very pleased with this purchase. My favorite things about it are all the giggles, squeals and smiles! Yay Little Tikes!
