How slippery are the bases? (If I child jumps from one to the next, will they slide out from under her or him?)

I've never had that problem. They deflate when stepped on and rise back up when the child steps off of it. I wouldn't say they are slippery.

They stay put pretty well. I can't see them sliding very easily. We have never had a problem with them moving.

Not slippery at all. A child can hop from one to the other in bare feet, shoes, or socks. They squish (deflate) when you step on them and then regain their shape after removing your foot.

Not slippery at all ! Sturdy enough to stay on the floor and my son - wearing braces on his ankles and in physical therapy - never had never fallen

These are made of a rubbery like material filled with air. We have not had them slip out from under a child but we have only used them on carpeted surfaces inside and we have used them on concrete outside. I think the rubberized like material they are composed of make them not slippery, but they are also light weight and filled with air so when you put any type of pressure on them, they deflate making an uneven surface. Imagine walking on a baby's squeeze toy-that is what they are like.

They are a sticky silicon. We use them on tile and have never had a problem. In fact, they are a bit tacky and pick up floor debris and have to be washed occasionally. Small price to pay for the stability.

We've never had any incidences of them slipping out from our son's feet; they're not very slick, more rubbery. We've played with these on linoleum and carpet.

They shouldn't slip off. They'll be easier to take off, but won't slip while playing.

The base can slide around, but we've had fun attaching a teather to it and dragging the horse around the room. When the baby bounces in it, it doesn't slide-if that's what you're asking.

My best guess a foot and a half, We dont have ours up right now. The slide side is higher. Keep in mind little ones would need to enter on the left side and exit down the slide. My Lil guy would get upset because at first he could not climb the slide (it's also kind of slippery).

Yes, just like Megan answered. I doubt any baby could slide out. Mine's pretty good at wiggling free of other things, and she can't get out of this high chair.

They're might be minimal shaking, but the base is wide enough to keep it from tipping over. My 4yr old climbs on it when my back is turned and it holds just fine.

They tip over Very easily. We don't have any children, so it's not an issue with us. Hope this helps.

I also have a Marley dance floor and use them for creative movement and pre ballet classes. They don't stick to the floor like I would like them to but they don't slide very much. If the dots aren't very far apart, they won't slide at all. They also have a ridge on the top so I turn them upside down when I have them jump from spot to spot. The children love them because of the bright colors and look forward to using them. We also play hop scotch with them. They don't slide during hop scotch.

It really depends...if your son is a toddler like mine then I would say yes...I added a small slide to mine and my son had no problem sliding down it...oh and I added a blanket under the pool for soft landing...I think your idea would work...

The surface is a tad slippery, and the easel we have on it slides with the slightest bit if pressure. I'd be concerned about an infant swing set moving around.

I use them with 12 and 14 year old boys and have never had an issue with them slipping. So long as the floor is reasonably clean I cant imagine anyone having a problem with them slipping.

When my son was learning to sit in the chair, he crawled in belly first and wriggled his way up (if you can imagine) and it never tipped on him. He's 2 now and likes to throw his head and arch his back and stand on the chairs and jump off. Seems pretty stable to me. The backs are low and plastic is going to be slippery on wood or similar floors. But he's not had any accidents with them that weren't caused by his own rowdiness.

I bought them for my 2 year old nephew. I've watched him manipulate them many different ways - he's a monkey. They have yet to tip over. If for some reason they ever did, they are so low off of the ground, it may startle him but not harm him (in my opinion). I liked the quality of the build - no sharp edges. Good Luck!

The springs don't seem to be to stiff. My daughter is around 30 to 35 pounds and she can get it bouncing good when she wants.

They are slippery and you have to be very careful. Look for ones that have no slip strips on them like Bathguard. Much safer!

I wouldn't as they could slide through where the feet go. I'd wait until they are at least 5 or 6 months old.

they go down to my 18 mo's ankles, but they are just short enough so they don't drag on the ground and my daughter doesn't trip on them or step on them. and they go to my 3 y/o's lower shin.
