Most toddlers I know love slides, but many time the full-sized ones at the park are too big. The Little Tikes First Slide is a great toy for toddlers because it’s their size – and since it’s an indoor/outdoor toy, it’s great for parents, too. (Anything that lets a toddler use up some energy on a cold or rainy day is a winner in my book.)

Plus Points
- Flexibility for Indoor and Outdoor Use: One of the best things about the Little Tikes First Slide is the fact that it can be used indoors and outdoors. It is compact enough to be placed inside the nursery. In the same way, it is built from durable materials that can make it ideal for the outdoors. Even if exposed to rain and sun, its quality will not deteriorate. This is the perfect item to have to convert a small backyard into a playground.
- Develops Essential Skills: This slide is not only a fun item to have in the play area, but also essential in the development of different skills of children, such as balance, fitness, and coordination. This will help in improving motor skills and encouraging kids to move while playing rather than just being stuck in one area.
- Ease of Assembly: Most parents would surely agree that children’s toys should not be complicated to setup. In the case of this toy, when it is taken out of the box, minimal effort is required for its assembly. You do not need to have a special set of tools to put the pieces together.
- Removable Steps: When it is time to keep the slide in the storage room, there is no need to sweat. The steps can be easily removed, which also lessens the space that is consumed when it is stored.
Considerations:
- You need a stable, flat surface to put the slide on to avoid tipping.
I’m a big fan of toys for toddlers that let them move like they need to. Not only is it healthy for them, but it saves having to stop them from climbing the furniture … and the walls, the dog, etc. The Little Tikes First Slide provides a safe outlet for all that natural toddler energy.
