A warning of our slide

Ayn Rand examines 'collectivism' from a slightly different perspective. The willingness of mankind to submit to slavery to the collective is juxtaposed to the native satisfaction of what the individual brings to life; calling it a sacred thing. It was a fresh face on a classic theme.

My sister-in-law bought the deluxe mini playcube for my son for his first birthday.  The toy comes fully assembled with the exception of having to put one side-panel on with four screws.  So, a week and a half after introducing this toy to my thirteen month old (maybe a little young, the box says for age 2 and up), imagine my horror when I look away for half a minute only to look down and see that he has something in his mouth.  He had managed to pull off one of the "wonder gears", which is one of six gears that fit together on the side of the box.  He was in the process of ingesting the white screw which is approximately one-inch long.  I was able to pull it out of his mouth just in time.  I thought I was going to throw up, it was so so dangerous.

I don't care if you child is one, two, three, or four, this is a SHODDY made product.  The part that fell off was NOT subject to adult assembly.

On further survey, I now see the tiny "warning" sign on the top of the box that the cube came in, which actually says it can be a warning hazard and that the "unassembled" parts may be a choking hazard.  This is NOT CORRECT.  The ASSEMBLED parts are a choking hazard.

There is NO WAY a parent should have to be worried about a brand new toy that is supposed to educate small children on motor skills.  You would think that after all the consumer protection laws and changes over the years that companies such as Anatex would hold themselves to a higher standard, if not to protect children, at least to avoid litigation.

I will be writing a letter to the President of the company to tell them what I think of their dangerous product.

This thing is a fire hazard! The slides keep melting and we have it set up outdoors here in Michigan where it is in the 30's. I bought this last Febuary and never used it until this holiday season.  I call the manufacturer 2 nights ago and they said they would send my complaint to the technical department and the would get back to me within 48 hours. No one has so I called again and got a man who barely spoke English. He told me there was nothing he could do and get in touch with amazon.  This isn't a matter that I just don't like it. This item is dangerous

I was so excited to get this toy for my son for Christmas and he loved it as soon as he opened it.  Unfortunately, as we were playing together one day, his tiny fingers became badly jammed in the alphabet blocks due to the spacing size, scaring him and hurting his little hand.  I immediately contacted the company and was told that they've received other complaints already on this same issue.  This toy should be recalled due to the danger it poses.  I'm so disappointed in this product and the company would continue to market/sell a toy that they know has safety issues with no warning to their consumers.  Please, for the safety of your little ones, do not bring this toy in your home.

The slide is made of very thin material and not made to stand up to any type of use.  What a rip off.

The stairs deflated on this slide the first day we used it. The kids still climbed up them, then a week later the sides of the slide deflated.  I'm requesting a refund.

We have had this slide for a few weeks, and let me tell you it is a hit. There has been no rips or damage to it, even though people closer the weight limit (around 150 lbs) have been on it.

I think the main issue with this slide is this :

  SUPERVISION!!!

Don't let your 10 year old invite the block over and let them run rampant on the thing!

Have some rules, like one person at a time, no jumping on it (its a slide not a trampoline!!) etc.

Its also important for an adult to be there, or atleast nearby while the slide is in use.

  Hope this helped win over some people, because this slide is awesome!

We purchased this a couple of months back for our then 8 month old. She loves it and plays quite a bit with it. It's a neat toy. However, is is VERY dangerous given poor manufacturing in one area. One side has some wooden blocks in a grid that is attached to the main unit via 4 L-shaped brackets using some very short wood screws which are very shiny and sharp. We have taken 2 of these screws out of our baby's hands - one was on the way to her mouth when my wife stopped her no less! A third one fell out today and my wife beat the baby to it. These are incredible choking hazards - they are metal screws about 3/8 inch long with a sharp point.

I've just returned from Lowes where I purchased thicker screws to re-attach the block assembly. We will watch carefully to see if they loosen up with play and use bolts with nuts next time if they get loose.

It's a real shame because this is a very nice and engaging toy. It is very dangerous given the situation with the screws however.

After one day of Flarp, we have pink stains on walls and carpet thanks to a visit from young cousins who got a hold of the glob of goo.  The goo hardened and is very difficult to remove from both places.  This is a clever toy idea but completely inappropriate for kids younger than about 10.

It's nice and fun. I was able to go in with the 3ft tall kid and race and bounce and slide. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that I got a rubber burn sliding down the slide when it touched skin. There was a mark and it hurt like crazy. So make sure there aren't any exposed skin when sliding down this thing.

We bought this water slide for our four children, ages 9, 4, 2, and 10 months, and boy did they love it! My oldest two loved the slide, while my youngest two enjoyed splashing and swimming in the pool. With the curve at the end of the slide, this design was a perfect match for us. The kids loved sliding around the bend, while it at the same time, it slowed them enough that I didn't have to worry about my little ones getting plowed over while playing in the pool. Everything was going great, until we turned it on one day and noticed the slide was not holding air like it should. Upon further inspection, we found 2 holes! I used the patch kit to fix one, and the other was on a seam so I sewed it up. The next day, same thing, it just didn't seem to be inflating as firmly as it should. We inspected it again, only to find the top wall seams all to be coming out. I called Amazon and their AWESOME customer service rep told me I would exchange it for another one, or return it for a complete refund. I am planning on packing it up today and sending it back for a refund. I had read reviews about the quality of this item and was hoping maybe the product quality had been improved in the last year, since most of the reviews were from last summer. It obviously has not, which is very disappointing! We justified spending so much money on this product with hopes that our children could use it for at least 2 summers. It has been 13 days, and it is falling apart. We will be looking for another water slide that is not made by Banzai!

This is a very good looking trophy to have sitting on a shelf to advertise that a small child is living under the roof, however, the act of moving this toy to the floor or even a lower reachable shelf where the small child can reach it will ruin the aesthetics of the toy and make you feel like everything you own is shit.  The paint chipped off very easy which made me uncomfortable about my son playing with it.  I guess it would be good once the small child has already figured out the concept of stacking blocks, but not a good learning toy.  Once the rings are removed it becomes a spear of death.  I liked that it was wooden but like I said, the paint chipped off very easy and I wouldn't have bought it if it was plastic.  Not meant for learning or playing - meant for sitting on a shelf out of reach and untouched until kiddo is more than coordinated and gentle with their toys.  Did not like.

DO NOT buy this slide! It is terrible and the company customer service is even worse.  We purchased 1 slide which busted a seam within 10 minutes of use.  We patched it with duct tape and got a few hours use out of it before it busted again.  My boys loved it so much that I bought another one the next day (thinking surely the busted seam was a fluke!). This new slide busted seams in 3 places within the first 15 minutes of use.  We filled it slowly and carefully and the kids did not jump on it.  They are ages 5 and under so I know they are not too heavy for it.  When I contacted customer service they basically said "we can't help you. Try to return it to the place you bought it."  Of course I cannot do this because it is opened and used.  This is really too bad because my kids loved it for the hour that they got to play with it.

Honestly it's so hard to keep this pool clean it gets super dirty fast and the rainbow arch sprinkler didn't stay upright it falls over under the slide becomes slippery and covered in green algae and you can't get behind it or the inflatable cushion on the bottom comming down the slide it's hard to keep clean and the colored balls seemed to attract bees and wasps so keep watch on the kids ! Just my experience

OK, but there's a warning label on the back that says it may cause cancer!?

Two of my boys go flying off the swings mid-air because there is no traction on the seats. My 6 year old fell off and hit the back of his head and my 4 year old fell off and landed on his chest. Beware!
