The two year old had no problems accessing the slides and quickly learned to climb up onto the top of the slide.<br /> Rainforest Rapids was certainly well received with all the kids having a real blast over the two days we had it erected. Keeping the big kids (young and not so young adults) off it was the biggest problem.<br /> <br /> The unit is equipped with a blower at the rear which maintains a constant pressure in the unit. A garden hose connects to water sprayers above the 2 slides lubricating them while simultaneously filling a low pool at the base which allows for lots of splashing fun on a hot day. A mesh net above the top of the slide prevents children climbing out over the top. This is a very necessary safety feature.<br /> <br /> Setting up and inflating was very easy taking only 2 minutes to inflate once out of the box and positioned. The unit is approx 4.9m (16') wide by 4.6m (15') long. <br /> I would recommend placing a ground sheet under the unit so as to avoid the need to clean the bottom after use.<br /> <br /> Deflating took a little more time (approx 10mins or so) with added actual packing up time due to the need to pack the unit away dry.
