    The product, in the report: Little Tikes First Slide

    I am reporting a serious safety concern with the Little Tikes First Slide. My 1 year old son was using the slide under direct supervision as well as my 21 month old niece. As my son attempted to sit at the top, he lost his balance and fell backwards because there are no handrails or grips to hold onto. Even my 21 month old niece struggled to sit without losing her balance and fell back but was caught before she got hurt. The design offers no support for toddlers during the transition from standing to sitting on the slide, which creates a major falling hazard.

    He fell and hit his face on the ground, resulting in a bruised face and a black eye. We are grateful his injuries werent more severe, but this situation could have easily led to a head injury or worse. This product is marketed for children starting at 18 months, yet it lacks even the most basic safety feature: handrails to prevent backward falls.

    This slide should be recalled and redesigned to include handrails or other safety supports before another child gets seriously injured.

    The product, in the report: Little Tikes Seek & Explore Expedition Climber Outdoor climbing apparatus with climbing plank and slide.

    We purchased the Little Tikes Seek & Explore Expedition Climber in December 2011. Due to the winter time my daughter has just now been able to get outside and play on it. 5 months after we purchased it we realized that the slide is very dangerous for toddlers. The slide is too steep and the bottom is not long enough so when the little ones slide down their feet hit the bottom flat part of the slide which causes them to flip head first on to the ground. My daughter landed on the top of her head on the ground which could have caused neck and back injuries. We tried raising the bottom part of the slide but this didn’t help at all.
