If you have seen the videos people who are 150lbs get stuck especially when there’s a slight incline, and they can only rely on the water to push them.
What age is appropriate for an inflatable water slide?
Our 14′ Water slide is great for kids 3-10 years old. Kids 10-12 years old we recommended 16′ slides – 20′ slide. For Teenagers 13 and older all the way to adults we recommend 20′ slides and larger. If you’re wondering about bigger slides, such as the kind you find at playgrounds and parks, wait until your child is 2 before you let them try it on their own. Even then, stay close by. Toddlers don’t always know when they’re too close to the edge.

Inflatable pools, for example, may only last a few seasons, while metal frame or resin pools can last 10 years or more with proper care. Some manufacturers offer warranties on their pools, which can give you an idea of how long they expect their product to last.Although they offer a cooling dip at a reasonable price, inflatable pools can be tough to maintain for more than a season because of air leaks, which are a common complaint. Most inflatable pools are comprised of a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and rubber composite that is built up in layers.
