On a 4 ft platform is the incline to fast / too steep for a 2.5 year old?

No it's not too steep. My grandson was two last summer and had no problem. Just be sure to get the straight slide. Not the one with bumps.

You are right it's fast. My 2.5 wants a hand going down it. I think another few months it will be just fine.

We actually used it on a 3 foot platform. Our 2.5 year old granddaughter slides down pretty fast! We have to hold her hand. Our 4 year old granddaughter loves it. I guess it depends on the child. Just make sure you have a soft landing or send him/her down on their belly!

It might be too tall for him/her, they would have to reach up to push it. I would say better for a 2+ year old.

I think it would be too short for a tall 4 year old. However, from floor to where the knee would be is 7" the depth from where the knee to where the back rests is 14". It is not that sturdy either. I would try to find something more sturdy. I could probably tear it apart with my bare hands.

It would all depend on how tall and heavy your child is and how likely they are to make serious attempts to climb out. Our son is a tall 2.5 and we still use it when we travel. While he is starting to fill it out with how tall he is, because it is so deep, he doesn't even think about trying to get his leg over the side or anything. Also, he is quite happy and relaxed sleeping in it so he doesn't really care to get out. I really debated buying this because of the price and the fact that we already had the typical pack n play, but I must say it has made extensive travel for us much more pleasant. When baby brother doesn't sleep well, no one sleeps well!! It would all depend on how tall and heavy your child is and how likely they are to make serious attempts to climb out.

it works fine up a slight slope but keep in mind my grandson only weighs 52 pounds, its kind of a lightweight scooter. There are bigger and heavier scooters, they even have seats, you might be happier with one of those.

I got this for my 2 year old and he climbs in and out on his own. It is not very tall on the sides. My son is small for a 2 year old and joins playing by his self on this 3 in 1 gym.

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years

As long as the seat is at the right incline, it's just fine. My son is almost 2 and 98th percentile for height and he has no problem with it whatsoever.

We originally attached ours to a 6 foot platform, but we lowered it to 5 foot. It was too steep at 6 foot in my opinion.

not a good fit for you. The angle will be very steep and the slide will prob. flex too much for older kids. I reinforced mine with 2x4s (not part of the original mfg's plan)

Yes it is for 2 kids, but will not work as well especially on any kind of incline.

I think it might be dangerous for a 2 yr. old...it is very fast. There is a model for kids age 2 to 5 which would be safer.

We have two of them and one has a bit more loft than than the other but they are plenty high for a 2-5 year old. Hope this helps

The upper-most step is about at 30". So it may work. Whether it'll look ridiculous is subjective and totally up to you! But my 4-year-old uses the ladder well, and she's small for her age. Hope that helps!

This could have been one of the top gifts I've ever given my children. I'm getting a 4th one for my 4th child because everyone in our neighborhood uses and fights over. We live in a relatively hill area and it has never lost speed. Not sure what incline you are referring to but always works well

I use it on a Hundai crossover & it's fairly steep. My 12 year old Samoyed goes up it, but slips on it & doesn't really like it. But it's easier than picking him up.

my 90 f150 4X4 is lowered 2" and still the incline is kinda of steep. but i dont see where id have a problem riding a quad up it. i dont think id want to try to move a fridge up or down it by myself.
