It attaches at different heights on the Play Gym frame, so it can be adjusted for various ages and comfort levels as a child grows. It is recommended for children ages 3 and up, though it can also be used by children as young as 18 months, with a maximum weight limit of 150 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slide is built from beech wood in a sturdy wooden structure.
