Inflatable Water Slides???

[DVCsince02]

I did A LOT of research on this and DH and I decided on this slide.

It was on the Costco website, but now it's gone or sold out.

It has a bounce area and 2 slides (one small slide and one big slide). It can be used with and without water, so basically for 3 seasons.

Our DD5 loves the bigger slide and our DS2 likes the small slide and both enjoy the bounce area.

It is a bit heavy, so 2 people need to set it up. The only draw back to it is it's hard to keep clean and dry. We let it drain and then keep it inflated to dry up. When not in use, I suggest a tarp to cover it up.

Good luck.

We have had one for going onthird year. They don't use all the time, but it has lasted. I have another round of patching to do this weekend. And I would be suprised if it makes it to next year. I think the bigger ones may be more problems. Ours is not huge but tall and long. Motor is just enough to keep it going.

We had one 2 years ago and it lasted just that one summer. It was ripped. No adults used it, just kids. Hopefully they make them better now. It also killed my grass, but it was a new house with new sod.

Well, we got our slide. I'll post a picture next time.

We set it up late this evening, just with the air, just to give it a test run, no water yet since it was so very late. Looks like my 11 year old can't go on it. He really sinks down the inflatable. I was kinda hoping he could enjoy it too thinking I read that even older kids can go on it.

Perfect for my 9 year old and 6 year old.

Will try it out tomorrow afternoon with water.

Thanks for the advice.
