Unfortunately, this indoor slide was not successfuly launched into the marketplace. Slide Rider Update: Where To Buy Or Get the SlideRider Indoor Slide I’m not positive this indoor slide will be meant for adults, but I make no promises I won’t try it. Instead of chasing my kids off of the stairs, I would love to be chasing them to the stairs to be the first one down SlideRider. My almost walking twin boys are drawn to them like…like babies to stairs, and my toddler loves to climb up the banister as if she is a mountain goat scaling a cliff.

I hope this brilliant invention is available soon because just like my favorite toy growing up was the staircase, my kids seem to be drawn to the stairs too. SlideRider also needs a manufacturer to turn it into a mass-produced product that can be brought to store shelves and online retailers like Amazon. Submitted as an idea to Quirky, a place that turns ideas into products, by inventor Trisha Cleaveland, SlideRider is now being priced by Quirky’s community of inventors and members. When I first looked at the pictures, I wasn’t sure how I-I mean my kids-would get back up after sliding down, but it looks like there is enough room between the side of the slide and the railing or wall to get back up once you slide down. It’s also weighted at the top and bottom to ensure it stays in place. ( UPDATE: For the latest update on the SlideRider and where to buy one, make sure to check out the "update"section at the end of this article.)Ĭomplete with side bumpers and a cushioned landing for safety, SlideRider is a collapsible slide for kids that can easily be stacked and stored when not in use. SlideRider turns an indoor staircase into an indoor slide. How did we not break our necks or bite off our tongues? Trisha Cleveland has come up with an alternative to bumpy, potentially unsafe rides down the stairs.

Then that became boring and we progressed to going down backward on our stomachs and then to the ultimate, fear inducing thrill of going down head first, our heads bobbling and our teeth chattering. As a kid, my brother and I would slide down our carpeted stairs on our bottoms. I don’t have scientific facts to back this up, just memories of childhood.
