Here’s something that would make you want to be a kid again. The brainchild of inventor Trisha Cleveland, the SlideRider is a set of foldable mats that will turn your boring, old staircase into an all-weather, impromptu indoor slide. Why walk down the stairs when you could effortlessly slide down, right?

Parents need not worry about safety. It comes with built-in hand rails that prevent riders from sliding off the mat. It’s also built from a lightweight but sturdy foam that could support a child’s weight. Pillows at the bottom of the slide would be a good idea too. Or better yet, a kiddie pool! When not in use – which would be zero percent of the time – it can be folded and tucked away.

Cleveland is currently working with Quirky to make the SlideRider a reality.

When he was a baby, not much older than 2, he found out a way to get down the carpet staircase FAST!

He would go on his stomach, and slide all the way down on the carpet stairs. It would freak us out, be he was in control.

Funny as hell.

Damn, I must be getting old, reminiscing on how cute my younger siblings were, when they were kids.
Oie.
