Product description
You submitted a photograph of a “Cosmicslide” identified as SKU 13495300. The item consists of an inflatable toy water slide made of 95% polyvinyl chloride and 5% nylon, designed to rest at the edge of a swimming pool. At the tip of the water slide is a raft-like protuberance that hangs into the water and cushions the sliding child before they hit the water. This allows for “soft” sliding. When a water hose is hooked up to the sprayer that is attached to the slide and turned on, a steady stream of water runs down the slide and provides a slippery sliding surface for sliding into a pool. The water slide is sized to accommodate a child three years of age and older.
