My son is big for his age, I admit that, but he's not so big that he's outgrown this slide, which is recommended for 1 1/2 to 4 years of age. When we bought this, it was poorly assembled and it wouldn't even stand up straight because it wobbled horribly! I'm not abouttttt to let my son climb on something that's just going to topple over on top of him. Also, there is no room at the top for him to sit before sliding down the mountain of a slide, not to mention NOTHING to hold on to for support on his downhill race. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone-- buyers beware!!!
