Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I am not sure why these slides didn't work for one reviewer, but it might have been her carpet. We have three different kinds of carpet at our house: Patterned berber, flat berber, and plush carpet. Surprisingly, the FunSlides worked much better on the plush carpet. I figured the flat berber would work best, but nope. The slides still slid around on berber, and berber is actually a good carpet for a non-skating child to start on. But... the fluffy, fuzzy, plush carpet works best. Also, the heavier the child, the better the slide (to a point--an obese child might end up smashing down the carpet too much for them to work).
We were snowed in for a long time here. The kids had fun indoors with this product. I used them and they really worked my thighs--I could really feel it.
Now, these don't feel like regular skates, so if you are expecting that, you'll be disappointed. It feels like socks on a just-waxed floor, or close to it. If you don't like them, you're not out of much money. Or you can buy the track to skate on and skip the carpet altogether.
