http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516997CUmSL._SL500_AA280_.jpg This is another toy from BANZAI that has serious problems with altering their images to make the product look bigger than it actually is. The slide did not seem to be much different than the picture, but the pool was much smaller than it appears to be on the box. My 4 year old hits the end of the pool everytime he slides down the slide. (but he doesn't care, and it certainly does not hurt because it is soft and bouncy)



But seriously, my son loves this slide and it keeps him busy for hours at a time. I have to bring him his lunch and he sits in the pool and eats it. The sprayer is great and fills the pool up fast and keeps it filled.



So far the durability is wonderful. My son (40 lbs) stands on the wall of the pool and jumps in. The wall sinks in a little bit but still gives him enough leverage to jump away. My son also battles the sprayer and climbs up the slide and hangs on the wall of the slide. It has stayed in great shape thru all of his rough play.



Here are a few tips for people interested in buying this item:

1. Buy a little tikes rolling storage bag ($30-40) built for bounce houses. This fits perfectly in it and you won't have to worry about trying to stuff it in the tiny red bag they give you.

2. When you are done with using it, let it deflate and then tip it over so all of the water can drain.

3. Make sure you put this on level ground. Our yard is so lop-sided only one side of the pool filled up. (didn't stop my son from playing)

4. Don't pay more than $250 for it including shipping. My 4 year old loves it, but I don't know if he'll even be interested in it next year.

5. Have fun watching your kids enjoy this toy!!!!
