Caitlin I was wondering if your slide held up for a second season of summer? I too want to get this while my husband is gone.

Mine has held up for a second season. It would be nice if our water wasn't so cold though! I do recommend cleaning it out every few times of usage otherwise it can be tough to clean at the end of an entire season. My 3 kids (ages 3, 5, and 7) love this thing!

I bought mine 2 years ago and with multiple play dates a week during the summer, I would say that it has held up pretty well. I do suggest putting a small table on top of the blower to shield it from the sun. If it gets overheated, it'll shut off. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on with mine the first season.

My Grandson just leaves his on the play table they sell for the sand. Again I must say we bought this for him in Oct. And it still remains a favorite for him and all his playmates! Hope I helped you.

I would say about another year. I keep ours inside and its stable on the ground but outside it was wobbly and my daughter is only 20 pounds so I would just keep that in mind. Its smaller than it looks in the picture. If youre son is a fast grower then I suggest you go with a larger slide.

I don't think so. My 1 year old enjoyed it this past summer. He couldn't do the slide by himself but he liked the pool. I think with the fish & sea life shown on the bottom small children will like the pool and can grow into it.

Hi! Our school bought this slide for our annual spirit day celebration. The kids bought a gallon of liquid dish soap and walked the length of the slip and slide....drizzling the soap as they walked. Then we manned the sides of the slide with kids and hoses. Voila! A very fun Slip and Slide. Kids have to be VERY careful because it can get TOOOO slippery.

My son just turned 2 and he loves it! He's been using it for about 6 months or so and has done really well with it. He only recently started using the slide without our help

Sorry, I bought this slide for my 2-year old granddaughter last year so I don't have the box any longer. It's was easy enough for me to handle, and it didn't weigh too much. It fit nicely in my back seat when I took it to her. It has to be assembled. But it's a great slide and lots of fun for a toddler!

Did you ever find an answer to this?? Have you bought one? I was looking to buy the new one and have gotten two OLD ones (one from amazon, one from barnes and noble). I was going to return both in my quest for the new one but upon reading reviews... it seems the old one will accomadate matchbox cars better... but the elevator is more prone to break. I like the overall look of the new one - but I don't like that the elevator is smaller. I really don't like the idea that matchbox cars might not fit. I am going to call plan toys today and see if they can tell me. All I know is this was supposed to be the BIG christmas gift for my twins this year and now it's 2 days before Christmas and I have run into a problem I didn't expect to have.

Hi Tiffany,I do no know for certain, but my guess would be 20 just because of its durability. We used our slide for 3 months straight last summer and it held up well. It was not only used by our family but for birthday parties as well. The kids can't wait for us to take it out of the box and get it set up again for the summer. Hope this helps.

welcome, would love to see a pic...sable120@hotmail.com. I quit working on mine grins... the waterfall is sitting on the edge of the pond now. I stole the stones I had around it to finish the patio. Need to buy more this summer.

I left the slide attached to the swingset, but have not used it during the winter months. The slide appears to be quite sturdy, but not sure how it would hold up through really cold temps. I believe the coldest it has been this winter is approx. +8 F. Not sure if you are in a colder climate. Not sure this info helps.My daughter has had a lot of fun on the swingset. Hopefully this ends up being maintenance free.

If you plan on taking it down and putting it away during the week then it is a pain the arse. If you deinflate it, my advice is to cover it with a tarp. We left ours in place all summer using it every few days. Regrettably I didn't cover it. This is an awesome slide for family fun. My kids, under 120 pounds played on it for hours/days. Not so good when the big boys and me tried to use it, although it did hold up.

maybe the slide is not going back far enough. It really takes a lot of muscle to get it all the way back. We finally gave up on it and gave it to our son, who is stronger than either my husband or I. Unfortunately we diddled around with it until it was too late to return it.

We have this this for the 2nd summer now. No problems with it. It's all in how you handle it. You have to be careful not to drop it or have kids handle it. Only an adult has used it in our house and it works great!

I believe the manufacturer said on the website... But, we had this slide for 3 years... Used it countless times and both my hubby and I went down it... My husband is 200lbs. The greater the weight puts pressure in the seams and will wear it out faster... But, adults here and there (one at a time) ... I give it 2-3 years! :0) It was a good purchase for my family! Good luck... Hope this helps! &#128521;

I wish I had an easy answer. You can likely order the slide. As for fixing, usually it is more expensive than replacing. I got mine on eBay very inexpensive.
