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.

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.

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

The slide is fitted with sprinklers to ensure they stay slippery the whole race too.
