7 of the best slip and slides for summer

Beat the heat with this fun-for-all-ages backyard activity. - by Philippa Tonkin

7 of the best slip and slides for summer

Slip and slides are a classic Australian past-time but recent developments mean these days, it's more than just a tarp and some detergent on the grass. From inflatable jumping castles attached or bubbler sprinklers, today's versions are well and truly changing the game. 

We've rounded up our pick of the best slip and slides for the whole family to enjoy this summer. 

race rider

Bestway 16ft water Race Rider Slide

Bestway 16ft water Race Rider Slide, $49 at Kogan

This slip and slide includes a Gazillion Splash bubble sprinkler that spray bubbles as you slide past. Perfect for small children.

Park

Bestway Inflatable Jumping Splash Toy

Bestway Inflatable Jumping Splash Toy, $329 at Kogan

Although it may be a little pricey, this is not your average slip and slide. Kids can start by playing in the inflatable jumping castle before moving into splash pool at the beginning of the slide. Then when they slide down, the water jet sprinklers will keep the slide and rider wet for a more thrilling ride. Worth the investment.

Llama

Bestway Llama-Rama Double Race Slide

Bestway 4.8m Llama-Rama Double Race Slide, $29.99 at catch.com.au 

There will be no fights over turns with this one as this two-lane slip and slide means the kids can race. Built for smooth and speedy racing, it comes with inflatable llamas to ride on as well as an extra-large lagoon landing pad for the biggest splash. The slide is fitted with sprinklers to ensure they stay slippery the whole race too. 

Shark

Bondi Beach surf 'n' slide kids play centre

Bondi Beach surf 'n' slide kids play centre, $299 at Deluxe Home Delight. 

This slide has an added elevation start to help increase the speed and fun. There's also two inflatable boogie boards for the kids to use when sliding down too for optimum sliding. 

Slip

Slip 'N Slide Surf Rider

Slip 'N Slide Surf Rider, $19.99 at catch.com.au

Sometimes simple is best and that's what this slip 'n' slide is - the original. Simply attach the hose to the slide to get the sprinklers going then relish in hours of time as the kids play. 

Giant

Giant Water Slide

Giant 25ft Water Slide, $125.99 at Wow Water Sports

This is a slide for little and big kids alike. Made from extra-thick, heavy-duty, super-slick embossed PVC that will help big and little kids  slip and slide all the way to the end. It's also built with sidewall pontoons to keep the water on the slide as well as your kids! Each slide comes with two inflatable sleds to cushion the fall and make the slide even more slippery.
