It's definitely a tidbit to pass along to grandparents!

I always make sure her legs are tucked in so they can't get caught. cheert16 on "PSA: don't go down the slide with your LO" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-go-down-the-slide-with-your-lo#post-1352820 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:47:19 +0000 cheert16 1352820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ouch!!

My LO was going down baby slides with us kind of holding onto her from the side to help support her at about 10 months. Now at 15 months she seems comfortable going down the big slides by herself with no one touching her. delight on "PSA: don't go down the slide with your LO" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-go-down-the-slide-with-your-lo#post-1352279 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 10:15:24 +0000 delight 1352279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Wow thanks for sharing. I had no idea! On a side note, when can a child go down a slide by themself?

I can totally see DH riding on the slides in the future with LO and our nephews. Thanks for posting!

I'm glad for the heads-up and I told DH too.

They were both shocked but happily obliged. prettylizy on "PSA: don't go down the slide with your LO" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-go-down-the-slide-with-your-lo#post-1351998 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 09:24:13 +0000 prettylizy 1351998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mediagirl: I was the same. DD was too nervous at first to go down alone so I made DH hold her legs together on top of his. He though I was being neurotic until I showed him a few links online. Luckily she slides by herslef now. mediagirl on "PSA: don't go down the slide with your LO" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-go-down-the-slide-with-your-lo#post-1351848 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 08:05:37 +0000 mediagirl 1351848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ouch! Yeah, I've heard of this and it makes me super cautious if we do the slide together. Like, I hold her legs and arms out so they can't get caught. :) dojo on "PSA: don't go down the slide with your LO" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-go-down-the-slide-with-your-lo#post-1351711 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 01:57:08 +0000 dojo 1351711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Thanks!

I'm glad I read this because I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have thought twice about going down the slide with LO once he gets to that age. googly-eyes on "PSA: don't go down the slide with your LO" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-go-down-the-slide-with-your-lo#post-1351693 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 00:51:41 +0000 googly-eyes 1351693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do this all the time! The twisty slides are slow and the others I guess I've just always tucked lo's legs in.

I explained and he totally got it. We send her down alone (us standing on the side) JoyfulKiwi on "PSA: don't go down the slide with your LO" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-go-down-the-slide-with-your-lo#post-1351239 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 20:21:29 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1351239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep, I read this on Oh Apostrophe's blog! My MIL went down the slide with her step-grandson last year & dislocated his hip. I let F go on his own now.
