A kids slide is a classic piece of playground equipment that's both simple and endlessly entertaining for children. Its structure typically consists of a raised platform that children climb to reach the top. This platform can be accessed by stairs or a small ladder, depending on the design.
Once at the top, a smooth, slightly inclined surface leads down from the platform. This can be straight, curved, or even winding. The slide leads to a flat, cushioned area at the bottom, ensuring a safe and soft landing for all those excited descents.
Kids' slides are usually made of durable and safe materials like metal or high-quality plastic. They're designed to withstand countless climbs and slides for years to come. At MyDeal, we offer a wide range of slides for kids of all ages. Browse our range and find the perfect playtime equipment for your little ones.
Finding the Best Slide for Kids
Getting the perfect playground slide for your kids, safety, fun and durability are key factors to consider.
Safety Certifications: You've got to look for slides that meet safety standards and certifications. In Australia, this might involve the AS/NZS 4671 standard for playground equipment.
Sturdy Frame: The slide should be made of strong, durable materials and have a stable frame to prevent any wobbling.
Smooth Slide: Always check for smooth surfaces and rounded edges to avoid bumps and bruises during playtime.
Soft Landing: The landing area should be cushioned and flat to ensure a safe and soft stop at the bottom of the slide.
Age and Ability: Consider your child's age and physical aspects. For younger kids (toddlers and preschoolers), shorter and gentler slides with easy-to-climb stairs are ideal. Older children can handle taller slides with steeper inclines.
Space: Measure your available space. A slide that's too big for your backyard can be inconvenient and unsafe.
Different Types of Slides
When it comes to kids play equipment there is a lot of variety to choose from. Whether you're looking for a free-standing slide or a bunk bed with a slide, we have multiple options for you.
The Classic Straight: This is the OG of slides, perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. It's like a mini mountain they can conquer, with a gentle slope and easy-to-climb stairs. Plus, it won't take up your whole yard space.
Curvy Slopes: A curved slide adds a twist (literally!) to the descent. This is a great option for slightly older kiddos who have a little more control over their body's balance.
Wavey Slides: It goes up and down like a real wave, adding some extra wobbly fun to playtime.
Spiral Down: This one offers a longer, winding path that takes your kids on a thrilling journey down. This is a perfect choice for older kids who crave a bigger challenge.
Toddler Slide: Compact indoor slides designed specifically for toddlers. These often have a gentle slope and easy-to-grip stairs, perfect for tiny legs.
Playset Climber with Slide: Many indoor playsets incorporate slides as part of a larger structure with climbing walls, tunnels, monkey bars and other fun features. This creates a mini indoor playground that keeps kids entertained for hours.
Folding Slide: If space is a concern, a folding slide might be the answer. These slides can be easily collapsed and stored when not in use, making them ideal for apartments or smaller homes.

Strong plastic. Looks good. Does not come with a safety belt so child does not fall forward. Probably needs extra weight to weigh down the base of the swing, as it still lifts a little when filled with water. Otherwise a good purchase.

Great little set. Unfortunately it's actually too small for my 2 and a half year old. Have to remove the bar on the swing so she can get on and she has to keep her tilted down.
