Editorial Review

This bright red and blue slide is one of those backyard investments that children will incorporate into their play for years on end. The small four-step hike up to the top (36 inches high) makes it safe for toddlers, but the 60-inch-long slide will keep kids as old as 5 well entertained. A slight dip in the slide controls speed while adding a playful tummy-tickle feeling. Even after they turn 5 years old, children will probably find ways to use the slide in obstacle-course play and chase games. Because it's made of thick plastic, it can stay outdoors season after season without fading, rusting, or splintering. --Gail Hudson

We bought it for our 1 3/4 yr old and she has so much fun on it. I wouldn't get it for anyone much younger as they can pick up a little speed. She keeps going on over and over without it losing any of the novelty each time. My 4 yr old even likes going on it but at that age it doesn't keep her entertained too long unless everyone is watching and she can be the center of attention. Overall a great value and well worth the $ as some of the other little tikes systems run hundreds of $. Also very easy to put together and put away. We have ours in the basement and are thinking about getting another one for outside.

This review is from: Little Tikes Easy Store Large Slide (Toy)

I'll start off with the assembly....it took me about 40 minutes to assemble this slide by myself. If my husband had been home, it would have been together in about 5 minutes. Why did it take me so long? I wasn't quite strong enough to snap the ladder and its base together. You need to put some force behind it when snapping the pieces together as shown in the instructions and my 115lbs of body weight weren't enough. Fortunately my hammer was. If you are on the lighter side, I would recommend having a more brawny person help out with the first step. Once I got past the first step in the assemply process it was a breeze.
I should also note that the box the slide comes packaged in is big (about 5'2" in length) and probably won't fit in a small car unless the seats fold down and you aren't bringing your child with you to the store. Fortunately for me, I got in on the free shipping offer during the sale and I had mine delivered.
Once assembled my 20 month old was thrilled to have her very own slide. She had grown attached to our neighbors slide so we thought it was time to get her one. I really feel that this is a great toy for little kids. It's not too high up, but they can still pick up a good amount of speed coming down. The slide is strudy and will certainly make the long haul.

I would not hesitate once on buying this toy. This slide is durable, and the steps are wide enough to make climbing simple for our 2 year old. The extra wide base at the bottom of the ladder is great for safety, as it makes it very difficult to tip over. This was an excellent purchase!
