]]> Summer is almost here (actually, it’s already here in Florida), and it’s time to start thinking about outdoor toys, pools and more.  I received an email this week from Little Tikes with what I think is probably the coolest all-in-one inflatable water slide, pool and climber.  Check out the Little Tikes Slam n Slide for $299.99 with free shipping until May 7th.

I think that’s a great price for everything the Slam n Slide offers.  Check out the details from the Little Tikes website:

  • Measuring 9 x 12 x 14.5 feet, this slide features a wet, wonderful and wild 142″ long ride.
  • Starts with a spray hood on the top of the 82″ high slide
  • Includes water basketball net and a 13″ pool at the bottom
  • Easy to set up since its 13″ blower inflates and deflates the slide in minutes and maintains continuous airflow
  • Built of puncture resistant material with durable mesh netting
  • Includes stakes, heavy-duty blower with GFCI, repair kit and storage bag
  • Ages 5 years and up
  • Recommended maximum combined weight limit: 350 lbs.

If I had a big enough (and flat enough) backyard, this is the slide I’d buy.  I love that it offers three different toys in one – a big slide, a climbing area, and a little pool.  There is so much room for multiple children with various activities.  I can picture myself sliding down with the kids then resting in the pool while they continue to play.  What fun!

Do you have an inflatable pool, slide or climber that you really like?  Which one is it and why?

]]> Photo Library - 356.jpgLast summer, the kids and I attended an aquatic afternoon event that included playing on an inflatable water slide similar to the Six Flags® Banzai Blast Water Slide pictured here. The difference was that the slide our kids were playing on ended at the ground and deposited the kids onto a Slip’n Slide.

After watching a friend’s daughter, as well as a few other children, go down head first and get a good jolt on their necks, I mentioned that the kids should probably stick to going down feet first, just to be safe.

As soon as I said this, one of the people who helped put the slide together said, “Oh yeah. It says they’re never supposed to go down headfirst.” And something to the effect of it being a safety hazard. Hmmmm….that would have been helpful information, I think.

So, even if you’ve read a warning that you think might just be common sense information, please share it with the parents of those children who will be using the toys. Don’t forget, some people don’t have common sense. And some people (myself and my friend included) just get distracted when the kids are playing. And, if you’ve at least told them the rules when they arrived, they can’t be too upset when you yell at their kids for breaking them!

Hope your summer days are fun and safe!
