We recently made a hill slide and we all adore it. The kids like having a longer slide (they are 20 months), and I like that I don't have to worry about a highly elevated platform. This is what we bought: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Swing-N-Slide-NE-4675-1T-Cool-Slide/dp/B003UJFWG0/ref=pd_sim_t_2?ie=UTF8&#038;refRID=0HGKT80MSXSE52KP7DN2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Swing-N-Slide-NE-4675-1T-Cool-Slide/dp/B003UJFWG0/ref=pd_sim_t_2?ie=UTF8&#038;refRID=0HGKT80MSXSE52KP7DN2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1536168 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 09:41:38 +0000 photojane 1536168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: they sell it on Amazon too, if you prefer ordering it. But, it's different colors... red &amp; blue, I think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1536140 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 09:31:11 +0000 mediagirl 1536140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: thank you!<br /> @lilyann: good to know, thank you for letting me know!<br /> @T.H.O.U.: I like the look of the one you posted a little better...<br /> @Cole: I'd actually encourage that, since it is outside and she would be using her imagination. I'm weird. :)<br /> @photojane: @Mamaof2: thank you!! I'll look into that Target one, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1536134 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 09:28:03 +0000 sorrycharlie 1536134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @photojane: we have this one too. O loves it! so much that sometimes we have to hide it..she plays with it for so long she ends up red and sweaty. lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1536022 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 08:35:44 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1536022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the 1st one, and maybe my 2.5 yo is small but he still plays with it a lot, and friends' kids who come (up to 5 yo or so) will still go down it a few times even if its ridiculous like their legs almost touch the bottom. He also likes climbing/hiding underneath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1536008 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 08:30:08 +0000 lilyann 1536008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have something similar to the first one and the slide is already too small for my 18 month old (he's pretty tall). So I would go with the 2nd slide! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1536007 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 08:29:54 +0000 Smurfette 1536007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the one @photojane: linked too. R got it for her birthday. We haven't used it yet but I love that it folds up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1535980 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 08:15:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1535980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://amzn.com/B004GXIDYM" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.com/B004GXIDYM</a></p> <p>This little tykes one is the one we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1535978 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 08:13:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1535978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the first one and think they have lots of "life". I like the platform for little ones because the regular slides can be hard with no top spot for them to figure out how to go from the steps to sitting down (legs get stuck under them). </p> <p>Plus my 2 year old still plays with her platform like one because she likes to climb and can get up there and play "lookout". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1535972 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 08:10:19 +0000 Mamaof2 1535972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you would get more longevity out of the 2nd one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1535952 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 08:01:14 +0000 photojane 1535952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if you care about the price, but the Little Tikes First Slide (<a href="http://www.target.com/p/little-tikes-first-slide/-/A-14510257#prodSlot=medium_1_1&#038;term=first%20slide" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/little-tikes-first-slide/-/A-14510257#prodSlot=medium_1_1&#038;term=first%20slide</a>) is considerably cheaper at only $35. It folds up too. It's shorter than the Step2, but definitely still long enough to be fun. Especially in the summer, into a pool. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1535943 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 07:56:32 +0000 Cole 1535943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The family I work for has the second one and we love it. It is decently long for a play slide which is nice. I can't say I have ever tried to fold it though. The first one is cute, I would be prepared for your lo climbing up over the sides before long- will that bug you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-vs-that-or-something-else-for-a-slide#post-1535934 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 07:48:31 +0000 mediagirl 1535934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which slide?
