This is super fun! Great choice for a four year old. You do need to slightly kink the hose leading to the mat to get enough pressure up to the sprayer at the top of the slide.

My grandchildren love it

The water does not go through the tubing to the top of the slide, so you cannot slide down properly. We are taking it all apart and redoing the water lines, hoping to resolve the water distribution issue. If Little Tikes has any solution to this problem - please let us know!

You can use the slide by itself inside on a rainy day, or you can hook up the mat for some cooling play in the hot summer days! Easy and fast assembly.

Since it is February when I am writing this review, we didn't get a chance to utilize the "wet" aspect yet of the Little Tikes Wet & Dry First Slide. Although we plan to once the weather warms up. So I will focus on the "dry" part. First, the slide is very colorful and attractive. My almost 3 year old got super excited when it arrived. The slide requires no tools and snaps together fairly easily. Just be sure that the ladder and handles actually "snap" together because, while I thought I had done that, my daughter was able to pull one of the handles off on her way down the slide. So listen for that "snap." I like the wide base of the ladder. It makes it easier for smaller children to climb up. The ladder isn't too high, but just enough for small children. As for the plastic slide, it isn't soo steep. The slide is fun once you get it going. My daughter had a hard time sliding at first. It seemed that she got stuck about mid-way so we remedied that with a sheet of wax paper. I had her slide down with that a few times and that made the slide more slippery. The "dry" slide is great for indoors or outdoors. I am sure it is even better once you add water. Again, while we didn't get to use the slide with water, I did read the instructions and they seem pretty straightforward with regard to attaching the hose to the slide and velocro-ing the vinyl slide to the plastic one. I like how the instructions also include directions for storing the slides, since I am sure that this will be one toy that will be used over and over again!
