We just set up this product today. It should be for ages 3 to 5 instead of 5 to 12. It is so much smaller than it appears. You definitely wouldn't be able to sit a child comfortably in the pool while another one is trying to slide. The velcro slide part comes apart from the pool area.
The sprinkler system on the slide hardly gets any water into the pool part.
I would definitely not recommend this product. I should have shelled out the extra bucks for a much larger water slide.

My son thought this would be something different from what it was. He liked it for a few minutes then that was that. It was not as big as he thought it would be.

This water slide is horrible. The slide doesn't stay connected to the pool. When my daughter goes down the slide it tipes over or she misses the pool completely by sliding off the side. You cannot go down without the buggie board or you get stuck at the bottom of the slide and never reach the pool. Horrible toy!

We bought this water slide thinking it would be perfect for our two kids. Great for our six-year-old and his friends to play on the slide part, and a nice pool area for our one-year-old when the big kids are done.

My older son's first two trips down the slide were great, then we had him try it without the included body board. His arm got stuck between the slide in the pool and the wall, causing him to get flipped around. Not horrible, but could potentially be dangerous. My husband checked the instructions. It said to hold arms out straight if going down the slide without the body board. So my son tried it - he got tangled up again and this time he ended up doing a forward somersault on his NECK.

We both ran over to him hoping he wasn't seriously hurt. He was fine but we weren't about to let him on it again. He was really disappointed of course, but we couldn't risk something happening to him or one of his friends.

This slide/pool combo is a great idea, but the design flaws are too dangerous. If the portion of the slide that is located in the pool was moved closer to the pool wall, this product would work much better and be safer.

With all the choices available, I would pick something else and avoid this product.

this is soooo much smaller than it appears. only good for kids around 4, 5,or 6 years old(unless they are small). It is alot of fun for the little ones though.
