Banzai Slip N Six Pins



User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars smart buy
If you’re looking for a good slide, this is a wise choice. You get the feature of a basic slide and the added benefit of the pins at the end. My kids love this one!

5 Stars Great Fun! My 3 kids love it!
We love this Slip ‘n Slide. The one we got was green and not the one pictured. The color didn’t matter to us. The colors and design are geared to both boys and girls, which is nice. My 2 boys age 2 & 5, and my girl, age 8 love it. They take the bowling pins in our pool, and use the “tent/canopy” in the pool, too. It is nice that the tent part isn’t attached permanently to the slip and slide. That way the kids can take it off and try and surf the whole distance of the slide with their (body boards/surf boards, which I purchased seperately).

A helpful hint- Fill up the parts that require water FIRST. The water is used to weigh down the sixpins and tent, and pool at the end of the slide. If you fill up those water holes last, you will not have enough space to hold water, resulting in less water to weigh down the pins, and canopy/tent. You want to weigh it down with as much water as possible to make it the most fun.

We haven’t had any problems with the Slip n’ Slide. Our kids love it!

1 Star Never Got to Play
This product is a piece of junk! I purchased it so that my three year old son could play outside on hot summer days. After recieving it, and putting everything together, I went to attach the water hose. From across the back yard, I heard ‘pop’. The water sprinkler side busted before he even go to slide on it one time (and as a result, he went into total meltdown mode). I don’t know if we just got a bad slide or what, but from my experience, I would have to say “DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!”

5 Stars Pure excitement
One of the hits of the party! Every 2 years we have a birthday party for our grandson. We turn my backyard into a mini water park. I purchased this water slide recently and I promise you…the kids loved it! Quality, fun, pure excitement. Loved it!

5 Stars A good slide
The kid loves it and that’s what’s important. I haven’t had it long enough to know if it will last, but I don’t expect much, these slides seem to break easy.

(quoted from a 5 yo)

It’s fun and you get to bowl on it. You get to slide on it, and under fake fire. It’s fun with friends.

5 Stars Great toy
My son loves. Can’t get enough of it. Great for both boys and girls

5 Stars Good toy for multiple ages
I bought this for my 7 year old boy who became very curious about electronics and was deconstructing all of our old cell phones and electronics. I hoped that this kit would help him make things instead of break them. At first I choked on the price but decided on this kit as it had a lot more projects with good variety.

The construction is durable. We have only broken one item (light bulb) of all the pieces. It is also very easy to snap together with easy to follow instructions.

Snap Circuits has kept both my 7, 9, and 11 year old entertained for the last 3 months. They do learn some things about electronics, but it is more valuable in teaching them to follow step-by-step directions and to correct mistakes when a project does not work. I hope you enjoy it, too. It was worth the price.

5 Stars Recently gifted
My family gifted this toy to my daughter’s best friend for his birthday. He is a 7 year old boy who is very enthusiastic about construction and construction toys. He has only had this toy for a couple of weeks but plays with it for hours at a time and even requested to bring it on his family’s vacation. There are ample experiments to follow and there is room for experimentation, which is where the real learning takes off. I assisted him with the helicopter/fan and light experiments and helped explain the differences in the parts (which were fairly easy to distinguish between). But he was able to pick up the basics fairly quickly and enjoyed it with minimal assistance and supervision thereafter. The snapping circuits are easy to use and marked for easy identification. The circuit snaps held in place and the overall design was solid. This toy seems to provide an excellent opportunity to teach a developing mind circuitry basics especially if they already have a developed interest. I would advise caution with the potential for electrical shorts created by a young child if left unsupervised.

4 Stars Educational and Fun, actually works
I bought this for my 6 and 7 year old boys. The parts are simple enough that they can easily put them together. They enjoy experimenting with the provided diagrams. The parts are color coded and very easy to assemble. My only complaint is that the speaker appears to have developed a short in it. All other parts are very durable.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Have both the girl and boy set.
I love this toy. Even after a couple of years my little ones still enjoy dressing and undressing the characters. I ask my kids to dress them according to the weather- “What should he wear if it’s cold outside?” or dress accroding to a story. The set has held up surprisingly well and still looks nice. Although I wish the tray had a lid- kinda a pain to transfer or bring on a trip.

4 Stars Great Toy for a Boy
This is a great toy for a boy with a sister. My son has a sister that plays dress up and this is his toy to play dress-up.

4 Stars My son loves this!!!!
Remember colorforms? This is the modern, sturdy, safer version!!! My son loves to play with this. It is definitely one of his favorite toys and yes dad likes to play with it right along with him. But be careful from the start: lots of pieces to lose. We moved ours to a ziplock back and that does the trick. Well worth the money!!!

4 Stars Sturdy, good selection of “clothes”
I like this toy; I use it for work with preschoolers (speech therapy). Some kids like it but not all. It has a good selection of different “clothes” and appears to be very solidly constructed. I only wish the box had some type of lid; I thought it would have one of those slide-in plastic lids but it does not. I have to put it (and the girl set I got at the same time) in a separate box for transport.

5 Stars My students love Joey!
I am a preschool itinerant teacher and all the boys and girls love

the many outfits they can place on Joey. It is great because

the children can relate to the different characters, policeman,

fireman etc. Very educational. (How about making a girl and

an African/American one too with all the career outfits.)

4 Stars snuggle pod pea, cute!
This is a cute, very soft baby toy. My 1 y/o likes to see momma put the baby “nite nite” in the pod and “wake her up” when I take her out. The baby doesn’t have legs, it’s shapped like the pod on the lower half.

5 Stars Perfect
I bought this for my friend who is expecting. I’ve called the baby “Peanut” since she found out she was pregnant. When I gave it to her at her shower a few weeks ago she loved it! It is so cute and soft! It was the perfect gift!

5 Stars Absolutely stinkin’ adorable!
This doll (and the peapod one they sell too) is just the cutest…well made and very good price. Perfect size for a baby and toddlers, little kids and even my teenager loves it. Why pay GUND prices when this is available?!

5 Stars So soft and cuddly!
This is a great snuggle toy. The fabric used is very, VERY, soft — that smooth yet plushy type fabric. A little doll comes out of the peanut casing. He has two taggies for hair, and a blue body. The body has arms but then a round body without legs. The casing says Lil Peanut on it. As I call my daughter “Peanut” I wanted her to have it for Christmas — and she loves him! She hasn’t learned how to take him out and put him back in, but she will bring him to me so I can do it for her. Great little toy!

5 Stars Snuggle pod is really cute!
I recieved the item in a very timely manner. It is absolutley adorable! and very well made. I’m delighted with it and so was my daughter, for whom it was a gift. I would highly recomend these – they are so cute.
