Doesn't the bounce area get too slippery once the kids are wet from the water slide?

No sure as of yet, we got it in October. But the kids did love it, make sure that order extra balls

I do not know about this one, but others I have used that have the same material: yes the material becomes to slippery once wet to climb or to bounce

We don't. Sometimes we leave it on to fill up the big pool area and then shut it off. We have a big bucket of water and I usually throw some on the slide if my 4 year old wants to go down or I turn the water back on. Hope that helps. We love this water slide and can't wait to use it again this summer!

The water sprayer is adequate for the kids to get a spritz while sliding. I fill up the front area with water and let the kids go. The con would be mold, through improper care, as with any inflatable, if water left to sit, or it is put away damp. I haven't experienced that issue personally, but it is a risk if proper care is not taken prior to storage.

Hmmm. Good Question. I didn't even think of that before I purchased it. Didn't have any issues. It was pretty big, so I think the weight of it weighed it down. There were kids constantly going down it, so it wasn't empty for the most part. I think the one I bought this time is a little bigger. Not sure though. I know you put your hose inside and water comes out of the slide. So maybe the water holds it down. I really don't know. Ours never flew away though. LOL! It was a hit at my sons 4th birthday party! Good Luck :)

Yes absolutely! My son loved using the slide in the fall. He has just as good a time with or without water

I haven't noticed anyone having trouble sliding...it is not really fast but enough to have fun. The kids seem to enjoy it.

Yes, you can use it wet or dry. My kids (age 2 and 7) love it. The only downside when it is used dry is that the slides are not very "smooth" - meaning they don't slide easily without the water. They just end up bouncing their way down, which is just as fun.

My yard has slight slope too and I love the fact that I can have one end of the pool deeper and the other end shallower. As long as it is mostly flat, it's fine. You can also angle it so that the front where the landing area is go towards the slope. That way most water is pulled towards that side and out from the bounce house. The slide might be faster too. You don't want the bounce house / slide section to be on slope because a lot more water can get inside the internal inflated area, thus it takes more time to dry it.

No, but it's not too bad. My daughter stayed put, for the most part. Unless I used baby oil while she was in it. THEN it got slippery! I didn't want to put the baby oil on her when she was on the changing table, so I thought it would be easier to clean up if I put it on her in the baby bath tub. I was wrong. Took forever to clean it out, so it wasn't so slippery anymore.

It won't work well at all since the slide won't be slippery. The water makes it slippery and work.

Hi Kelli,The slide can be used both wet and dry, but is more effective when used wet.

We just tuck that section under the seat on top of the slide bars. So far the floor has been water-free.

No but there is a 10 inch step up from the bouncy level to the slide. My 1 and 3 yr old are both very safe. The Slide isn't steep at all. Even 1 yr old going head first down slide is safe.

Definitely! Helps protect and keep the bottom of the bouncer clean and dry. Also, having the tarp come out a little bit more in front of the slide/bouncer, so when the kids came down it, they weren't stepping on dirt and tracking them inside. Worked really well.

Yes. Particularly the ball pit part. The slide works best wet though, in my opinion.

Yes. It doesn't reach 7 feet tall and will leave enough room for kids to bounce.

No, the slide has a "water weight" (a filled container you fill) that rests on the concrete to maintain positioning. Only the front part rests in the water. If you have a large, stable deck around the pool, perhaps it would work, but I believe it would be too dangerous.
