Stairslide
Why use stairs when you can slide? Stairslide is safe and fun. The pieces fit on top of each other like a puzzle, and the directions are easy to follow. My kids even assembled it themselves! (I checked it of course.) The Stairslide is very safe as the slide parts stay together and don’t move. It is easy to assemble and you can easily put away and store it away after the kids had hours of wild and crazy play. It provides a fun way to slide down the stairs apart from laundry baskets!
It entertained my kids for hours! My daughters dressed up and played queen using the slide for a grand entrance, and my son useed the Stairslide for My. Everest expeditions – pretend play so great for kids. They rated the speed as “medium”- not too fast and not too slow! We have had it out for about a month and they use it every day and don’t even bother to use the down stairs any more.
Order one or four for hours of summertime fun with the kids; $298 (four slides/most popular); $74.50 (one slide); additional packs available. Learn more at stairslide.com.
