Best Slip and Slide?

[ekbecker1]

I'm going to buy a slip and slide for the kids for the summer and there are so many out there! Spiderman, shark, waver rider double. . . Anyone have a slip and slide they recommend? No budget constraints and I have a pretty flat, grassy yard. My kids are 3 and 5, but there are always "extra" kids in my yard so I want something that will work well for a big group. I've usually got 6 or 7 kids (3, 4, and 5-year olds) playing at the same time. Thanks!

If you can find one... buy the one with the inflatable run. The other models are just the sheet of plastic.... this one has almost like a pool float for a slide... gone are the days of slamming into the ground with your tummy (OUCH). don't buy the bounce n splash Junior... it's too short and doesn't sprinkle well

this is the one we have

I don't remember which one we had last year -
picked one up at target

make sure to pick it up after each use or you will kill your grass -
and allow the slip and slide to drain - if it doesn't get used for a few weeks it will get yucky smelly -

I just wanted to chime back in here to say that if you can't find an inflatable one that those foam squares that lock together with puzzle edges (you can buy them at TRU and Home Depot) make for a decent pad under the slip n slide ... not quite as hard as slamming down on the grass!

So far the kids love it! I picked it up at Target for a bit more than what is now listed on the website (I think $17?).
