Is there a difference with this slide and the new slide just like it? They are calling this the older model - what is the difference?

I really don't know but, I have this slide and my grandson loves it as it is wider and sturdier than the other plastic slides

As far as I know they are the same. I have both. One that I bought a few years ago and one that I bought in the last year. The problem I'm having with the newer one is that they made the rubber a lot thicker and less flexible so it doesn't stick to the table. The suction cups don't work. The one I bought recently is basically useless b/c it doesn't stick to the table and my toddler keeps pulling it off and putting it on her head. My sister just bought the same one and she's having the same problem. I'm thinking they must've tried to "improve" their product by making the rubber thicker but in fact did the opposite and now it is worse.

the older units had a black control knob. The new model has a red knob but lights the same as the older model. everything connects at the same position as the old.

There is no difference. This is a bottom mount slide. Some cabinet builders only use one in the center bottom instead of two on bottom near sides.You must have thick enough stock in the back and front to mount the slides.

I have the original version and cannot discern any difference between it and the new one I just received. Was hoping for some difference, otherwise I woldn't have purchased it for $19. . .

Did you ever find an answer to this?? Have you bought one? I was looking to buy the new one and have gotten two OLD ones (one from amazon, one from barnes and noble). I was going to return both in my quest for the new one but upon reading reviews... it seems the old one will accomadate matchbox cars better... but the elevator is more prone to break. I like the overall look of the new one - but I don't like that the elevator is smaller. I really don't like the idea that matchbox cars might not fit. I am going to call plan toys today and see if they can tell me. All I know is this was supposed to be the BIG christmas gift for my twins this year and now it's 2 days before Christmas and I have run into a problem I didn't expect to have.

I'm not positive, but I think it's pertains to two different batteries. One has a post style, and the other a slide on style. I personally would go for the slide on , as it is newer technology .

The slide is red. It looks magenta/ pink in the pictures for some reason, but the actual product I received was in fact red!

It's the older version. My son received the new version for Christmas and I couldn't stand it so I bought him the same one I played as a child.

I'm sure that there are some differences between the two, but I have the newer version, and my best friend the original, and they are nearly identical. We can't tell the difference between them. Save the money and grab the original...

The main difference, in my opinion, between the old version and the new version is the release mechanism which controls the rotation of the TwiStep from the stowed to the deployed position. The release mechanism on the older version was at the top of the pivot point (which helped keep road dust off of the rotation plate) and was a very quick 3-step process; 1) press side latch in 2) push down on the post 3) Turn TwiStep to deploy at either the 90 or 180 degree position. The release mechanism on the new version is at the bottom of the pivot point on the deck of the TwiStep (which collects a lot of dust) and is 2-steps; 1) pull up on latch - which occasionally gets stuck, 2) rotate TwiStep to the 180 degree position. In addition, the fit into the hitch receiver was much better (didn't "wobble") in the old version and it came with a lock. The new version has a tendency to wobble and requires you to purchase the lock separately if you want it locked. Although the control mechanism is on the deck and prone to getting covered with dust/dirt and wobbles a little it is still secure and highly functional. In comparison to other step devises, this is by far, the best and most convenient one and does not require removal to stow when not in use.

The older unit is the same as the newer one. I am not sure what changes were made. I have the older unit and bought the newer unit for my son. As far as I can tell, they are the same. It may be internal or in the software. I did see the older unit has a better description and a view of the back of the unit. Both units include 1080p output.

The technical details indicate "Item model number: HKGOPLAYBLK" which means they are still shipping the old version. I think this was a recent addition to eliminate the confusion.As I said in my previous post, the model number for version B is HKGOPLAY5BLK.

It's actually the same, but this one is an older model because the colors are different. They both come in the same sizes and use the same mouth piece. There is no big difference.

Mandy, From what I can tell... the only difference that I see is that the DELUXE version says... "Now even easier to clean." - Fisher-Price may have tried to address the mold issue that some people were having. I probably have the regular rock n' play, but accidentally reviewed under the DELUXE version. Hope this helps! Heather

The "old version" had different colored buttons, I believe. The base also changed shapes slightly between versions. I bought this one, not the old version, and it was the latest one being sold by Contour.
