Due to the slope of a play slide, even some of the most compact designs for young kids take up a significant amount of space. In order to help kids and parents get the most out of this type of indoor toy, Fisher Price developed the '2-in-1 Slide to Rocker.'
The multipurpose toy is able to take on two entirely different forms, depending on the way it is configured. When propped upright, the design provides kids with a 32" slope to slide down. Alternatively, the entire slide toy can be flipped upside down and turned into a rocker, complete with an extra wide base and easy-grip handles. Because all of the design's pieces are fixed in place, the clever design only needs to be turned over and parents don't need to fold or rearrange any pieces.
