Croc Chomp Slide Review

Croc Chomp SlideThis was a disappointment from an adult standpoint, but the kids still had fun...which is why I added the second star. Don't believe a single inch of the picture on the box.Either those kids are T-I-N-Y or, they photoshopped that slide to make it look wider and longer.

The directions were lacking, to say the least.There wasn't any mention of 2 tubes that came with the set, so I just put them where I thought they should be.;-)Perhaps because of that, I could not for the life of me could not figure out how to get the crocs on opposite sides without putting a water tube beneath the slide.However, even if I had figured that out, I feared exactly what the first reviewer mentioned...knocking them out of place with each slide. I couldn't get both crocs to work, so I ended up just kinking the hose of one of them, and putting the other at the very end of the 'pool' facing the slide.That worked out great because every once in a while the kids would end up diving into an opened mouth croc and pretending they were getting eaten.

The sliding part was very fun for the kids, so if you buy this just be prepared that the crocs may not work like you want or expect but kids will probably enjoy it just the same.

Banzai Hydro Blast Water Park Review

Banzai   Hydro Blast Water ParkWe have only had this for a few hours and will definitely be returning it to the store.The two "race" slides are very steep with about 10 inches of water at the bottom and NO cushioning...NO cushioning!

My daughter went down on her back and still hurt herself on the very first time... when the little pool was nearly full of water (full is about 10"... especially with kids constantly splashing)

Nobody would ever dream of installing a very steep slide entering an underground swimming pool in the shallow end with only 10 inches of water!So, why does this seem OK to Banzai? This is a law suit waiting to happen!!!But, not for me.I am taking mine back.

This is the first review I have I ever written of any product.I felt responsible to warn people about this.

UPDATE: I actually got a tape measure and measured the water depth at the bottom of the two steep slides - it was exactly 7 3/4 inches (7.75).This was when the pool was full.My yard is pretty flat.The deepest measurement in the entire pool was about 9 1/2 inches. The product photos make the pool area appear much deeper than it is. Just a promotional tool/ploy.

Banzai Bodyboard In 3 Pack Review

Banzai   Bodyboard In 3 Packthey were colorful when they came, they didnt look like they do in the advertisement though and have designs on them in pretty colors, if your looking to get what you see though, i didnt get what i seen.
i have a 6 and a 9 year old and got these for the slip n slide type toy and it works good for that. one of them got a leak and cant stay blown up. i know our Sheltie dog probably stepped on it and punctured it, so the materials definitely arent very tough because ive purchased inflatable things before and never had a problem until this year, with several inflatables lol must be the economy seems nothing wants to stay 'afloat' anymore.

Little Tikes Crashing Waves Water Park Review

Little Tikes Crashing Waves Water ParkWe debated quite a bit on getting one of these (and which model) for our kids.In the end we settled on this one (tho mainly because we could find it locally thus avoid shipping charges), and since most of the families in the neighborhood have play gyms in the backyard and we never see any of them being used, we figured this will be a unique experience every time we bring it out.

Our two kids (6 and 3) love it an it's perfect for a hot day. Some reviews here are critical on it's set up, take down, and storage.I find none of this a real problem.Set up is a matter of unrolling it, and hooking up the fan and the tubes which supply water to the slide and cannon.I have the hose filling up the pool as it inflates and while I stake it down.This doesn't take long at all and gives the pool just enough to make it fun - the pool will fill during the course of play.We also have the hose just barely on - enough so the cannon's natural water reach is just inside the pool.This adds to the pools water supply rather than watering the lawn (which will happen at take down).

Take down is easy as well.Turn off the fan and let the water drain as the sides collapse.The only real annoyance is waiting for it to dry - you don't want it going moldy while in storage.We don't wait for complete dryness, tho we will at the end of the season.

A lot of people complain that the bag isn't big enough.I don't understand this - the bag is perfectly sized.You can't just cram the thing in the bag.You need to roll it up tightly and squeeze out the air.This takes all of five minutes to do.Coil up the tubes and collect the spikes in a zip bag and shove them in and you're done.Those who don't wish to deal with this might want to pick up a christmas tree bag this winter to store it in.

Another review complained that after a few uses it didn't appear as sturdy.This is normal, and says so in the instructions and on the slide.The air pressure and weight of the kids naturally provide stress on the seams, which creates minor leakage.While it doesn't hold my 170lbs as strongly as it did the first time I climbed in it, it certainly still can, and it has no problem holding several 40lb kids.

All in all a great toy, the envy of the neighborhood kids, and destined to provide several years of summer fun (provided you have enough space in your yard!)

Banzai Aqua Adventure Water Park Review

Banzai Aqua Adventure Water ParkDo Not purchase this item!!We bought it last summer and had it up for about a month and a half.The kids loved it.We brought it out this summer and set it up.It did not inflate all the way, we discovered it was comming apart at the seams in many places.I called the company and they were not only not willing to replace it but, they were rude.I will never buy another product from them again.That was a huge lesson to learn.Please do not waste your money on such poor quality.

Banzai Double Drop Falls Water Slide with 1 Water Blasting Cannon, Waterfalls & Splash Pool Review

Banzai Double Drop Falls Water Slide with 1 Water Blasting Cannon, Waterfalls & Splash PoolThis slide is awesome.We bought it for our 5 year old and have used it several times now.It is so easy to put up and only takes a few minutes to get it up and running.Taking it down takes a little more time and you really need to make sure it is dried off before you put it away. We really love the cannon blasts on this as it makes it even more fun for the kids who are waiting to go up it!They take turns going up and take turns shooting water on each other.This slide has been a huge hit at all of our parties.We had the version which didn't have the cannon blasts and didn't have the double drop and this one is much better! Also, the water coming out of the arches at the top really makes a big and better difference too!!

Cars Wacky Water Slide Review

Cars Wacky Water Slidethis slide is just okay, it is MUCH smaller than the picture would have you believe, but that seems to be the case with most water toys.Kids ages 4-12 enjoyed it anyway, but it is a very short ride, and bumpers are really small. also, we couldn"t get the water to spray on the slide...

Sun Searcher Pool Water Park Slide Review

Sun Searcher Pool Water Park SlideWe purchased this slide last summer for my 5 year old and 10 year old (I did not see any age limits just weight limits and my ten year old weighed 70# soaking wet and this box said it can hold a 100# pound child).The kids went down it a few time and it was fine, then my ten year old started running up the slide and flying down it, as a 10 year old will do.Well all the sudden he stopped using it and when I asked why he said it was because it hurt is bottom when he landed.Well the little guy who weighs 40# had no problem so i thought i would check it out and yes I was about 30 #over the wright limit i know.So I went down and when i landed on the bottom my breath was taken away and it hurt!!!!!!So for sure this slide is for the light weights, I would say 50# or less!2ND after 3 months of use we found a hole in the pool part at the bottom that made the slide less sturdy and your landing even worse (the 40 pounder now hit the bottom too hard).We stored our slide in th egarage when not in use but after 3 months we noticed another hole (patched the 1st one) that was from the seams wearing out and could not patch that one because it was in an area that had a crease.Then something started flaking of on the inside and water would fill up in the inside of the slide.We are very disappointed and are looking to buy a new slide this year. Whren you spend $300 on a slide you expect more than 3 months of use (although we really only get 3 usable months of the year to use it here).I will be much more cautious in buying a slide this time and truly appreciate these types of reviews!!!!

Banzai Pipeline Twist Aqua Park Review

Banzai Pipeline Twist Aqua ParkWe hold a yearly family party in which we host over 50 kids, mostly in the preschool age group.I can not imagine the kids having more fun than they did on this slide.It has 2 very different slides, a pool, high power waterguns, and a tunnel.All of the components are well designed and durable.The slide held an average of 10 kids at a time for over 8 hours.

We set this up alongside another banzai slide that we bought 4 years ago, which is still looking and working well.

We store our slides in inexpensive plastic trash cans.If you leave them outside, use a tarp to protect from UV.

You need a very large flat and level area to set this up.If it is not almost perfectly level, the pool will not fill properly, which makes the smaller slide dangerous.

Setup is relatively quick for something of this size and scope.You also need at least an hour to get a decent amount of water in the pool before letting kids play.However, drying this thing out for storage takes forever.But I don't see how the company can avoid that.

We wish that the curved slide had a slightly taller back bumper to discourage kids from climbing up on it.We had to chase kids off of it all day in fear they would fall 7 feet onto the hard ground.

Little Tikes Rocky Mountain River Race Review

Little Tikes Rocky Mountain River RaceI researched all kinds of these before finally deciding on this one. This one had the best ratings!! I had decided to order it and then lucked out and found it at wal mart on sale for $300.So I bought it.It really wasn't hard to set up at all.The only thing is it is very heavy.Yes, the blower constantly blows to keep the waterslide inflated and this means you need to have it plugged it in.But the neat thing is, its pretty self-contained.There's not a lot of running around outside the slide because they come down the slides into the wading pool and go right back up the center.They don't have to get out very much which also saves from them dragging grass clippings into the water.We've only had this since July 4th, 2009, but it seems very durable and what fun!! My 3 year old grandson played so much on it all weekend.The box says its rated for 350 lbs. But I'd think that might be a bit hard on it but it also means its great for holding several kids at a time.The other thing is you have to continually run the water to it to keep it wet.It would be neat if you could recirculate the water but you can't.We are able to hook the hose up to warm and cold water so the kids really like! Yes we did run out of hot water but we adults had lots of fun just watching the kids play too!Its well worth it!Once you unplug the blower, it goes flat in several minutes.They recommend getting all the water out then turn the blower on to inflate it and let it dry out good before you put it away.It comes with a storage bag but i have no idea how you'd ever get it into that.It is quite heavy!We used a big box when we took it down to put it away during the week when we aren't around as much!I think at first my husband thought I was crazy and after seeing the kids on it for 15 minutes they all told me I'd done good.. its awesome!!At this time I have no regrets about buying this!

Little Tikes Slam 'N Slide Review

Little Tikes Slam 'N SlideI bought this for my daughter's 4th bday party.The children played on it 5 hours!It held up great.The pool area was great for the toddlers at the party.My only problem was water got inside it, which is normal since there are small holes in the seams of the float. (note: the small holes are supposed to be there to let air come out of the float.)So it was hard to get the water out and dry it out.After 2 days, we crossed our fingers hoping we dried it well enough, and stored it away.

UPDATE: July 2008We pulled the slide out again this year.Minimal "molding" from putting the slide away slightly damp.Scrubbed it with soap and water and set it up.The sun cleaned it right up and the kids played another solid 5 hours on it.We didn't turn the water on as high this year and that helped keep so much water from getting inside the slide.Dried it out for 4 days in our garage.It was completely dry and folded up nicely.I am happy to be getting my monies worth from this slide.The price I paid for it was the same price to rent a slide for one afternoon.Now I've used it 2 years... going for a 3rd next year!

This slide is designed for much smaller kids then depicted on the image.True dimensions (shown on the box) are 156 INCHES wide by 175 INCHES long.
We read this listing as if it were in feet, like 18.5 feet high by 32 feet long . Totally incorrect.We are returning this slide immediately.

Little Tikes Slam N Curve Water Slide Review

Little Tikes Slam N Curve Water SlideWe bought an older version of this model over two years ago.My boys, now 5 and 8, have spent endless hours on this slide. They are pretty rough on it, and it has held up great!They have had their friends on it too with no problems.I have other friends who own different water slides and mine has outlasted theirs.One of the best features is the pool that collects water at the bottom.This is a lot of fun, plus it prevents a muddy area from developing while you kids are playing.Another reviewer complained about the pump having to be on the whole time.But, as with any moonwalk or large blow up slide, this is always the case.This is a pretty large slide and requires constant air.Its also pretty quick to set up and I do it all my self.We have really enjoyed our slide and gotten our moneys worth out of it.I have had no problems so far.
