Has anyone used Little Tikes first slide with this? Was hoping the slide could for over the edge so my niece could slide into the balls. Thanks!!

It is not padded so make site it is on a rug or grass if you will use slide. I think slide would work - I have both but did not use them together.

Can't slide down. My boys throw balls like water basketball. Slide is a good deal. Good price. Good value. My boys are big 6 and 8 year old kids and enjoy very much

My suggestion would be no, I bought this for grandson last year and the ball would always fall to the bottom of the ball it would not stay on the track . I would look for something different. Merry x mas!

We gave our grand daughter this slide for her 2 nd BD. She's having more fun w/ the older she gets. She's 2.5 now & I expect her to use it till she's probably 4. Your son is bigger/ taller tho so he.may out grow it in another year or so. Nice sturdy, stable slide though

My grandson is 3 and he lives the game. Great first game for him. Have nieces and nephews who are 6 and 7 and they live it too. Grandson played game at the family camp and I looked everywhere to find it for birthday. Found a gently used one on amazon and he loves playing this game.

The only issue, as far as the listed choking hazard goes that I could see for a 1 year old, would be the smaller pieces with the round balls as tops. The Squigz Starter set pieces are all smooth and a smaller child could possibly put one of these in his/her mouth and have a problem getting it back out - the other pieces should be fine. You could just remove those ball pieces until the child's a little older. I see they sell a PipSquigz set now, which might be the answer for you - they look textured for a young one's senses and ease of grip. Either way, you can't go wrong! My 3 year old granddaughter's Squigz pieces are out all the time - I only wish these had been around when my sons were little. Enjoy!!

Hi Nana, We have a 21 month old, 5 year old, and 8 year old grand children who play with this regularly. The 8 year old is over the suggested weight limit, but she still enjoys riding this occasionally, but it is not her favorite toy. The other two ride over and over. In addition to the ride factor, this ramp is a hit with all the children for playing with their trucks and vehicles, balls and such on and while they play they are learning the physics concepts associated with force and motion. The baby loves to walk up the ramp and slide down. He has been playing with it since he was 8 months old and it is still the first play he heads when he enters the house. We have been using it indoors as we have a long living room that allows both room for the ramp and room to shoot off the end. We have a pillow against the wall in case they get that far, but they seldom do. It is easy to set up and to put out of the way when we want the space for adult company without kids. It would be equally fun, under a covered patio for all year play or just outside. This is by far the best toy we have ever purchased. I hope your family enjoys it as much as ours. Tee Jay

I buy these toys for my niece and nephew in another state and send to them. Then tell me how the kids like it and if it catches their eyes. They didn't mention it squeaks. But one this for sure is the little girl is almost two the baby is 9 and she plays rouch and its a hard toy and she hit the little boy on the head. So be careful. But for a child they love colors and stuff. I have bought a lot of Lamaze toys and I have or I should say they have never been disappointed. Hope this helps. If the description says its squeaks contact seller. They will work with. (Once I had a problem and they helped right away.

not for me, sliding is easy and simple. just press the middle where the line and slide up or down. good luck!

I think the slide would be pretty short for a 3-4 year old. My twins boys turned two a month ago and they play on it every once in a while but not like when they got it last Christmas and I think that is because they are used to longer outdoor slides from summer playground play.

I'd probably not recommend this slide for a three year old. My 1.5 year old loves it, but I'd think he'd be bored with it if he was three.

not a good fit for you. The angle will be very steep and the slide will prob. flex too much for older kids. I reinforced mine with 2x4s (not part of the original mfg's plan)

My son just bought himself the smallest today - there was a group of kids p,aying so I asked what they thought . They said they think the smallest and jumbo (godzilla or some nmae) are the hardest. The smallest because the cups are so small and the biggest b/c the ball is really heavy. Hth

I installed one on my grandkids playhouse a short while ago. This slide is set up for 5' and cannot be stretched to 5'8" The only way to this is to make an 8" platform as a landing zone. I would not do this as the children would then be falling and tripping on this platform. I believe they make a 6' slide also. I would use it and bury the bottom of the slide slightly.

I emailed Little Tikes and this is their response:Thank you for contacting The Little Tikes Company:Unfortunately the trailer is designed for the Cozy Coupe only and not the Cozy Truck.Thank You, Kevin OdenThe Little Tikes Company

We bought this for our twins for Christmas. They were 19 months at the time and had a great time playing in it. We held off installing the slide until they were 21 months (had the hole up against a wall).

I don't think this slide is made of heavy enough material. We clear all debris from underneath, so things won't tear through it. If you try it, let us know how it goes and the type of sled you used.
