Our 3 kids under 6 love this water slide. I'm including a link to a video of my kids having a blast with it within minutes of unpacking it for the first time. We also used it for my son's 6th birthday party and it held up perfectly for a group of 6 to 7 year olds. During the birthday party, we made sure that the kids used it properly by climbing up the back, instead of up the slide, to prevent any mishaps, and everything went smoothly. I picked this water slide over others because it fit nicely in my backyard with its slim design, it had great reviews, the safety net, the cool shark theme, two lanes for twice the fun. After researching online it seemed like this company had the longest lasting slides, best reputation and the best warranty I could find, compared to others. We did buy a tarp to place under it, just to be extra cautious as there are some rocks in the dirt in our backyard. So far, so good. Have had absolutely no problems with this slide. Overall, very happy with our purchase and well worth it for all the hours of active fun the kids have had. Here's the link for the video! https://youtu.be/Lb53oSAippU
