Family man and entrepreneur Jacob Webb is the creator of the 'Stairslide,' a toy for kids that allows them to descend their stairs at home in a fun way, which is much safer than the laundry baskets, sleeping bags, or the cardboard boxes they might otherwise use to make their way down.
With its patent-pending design, the Stairslide is able to securely attach to any straight staircase, without the need for permanent anchors or other installation pieces that could cause damage to the home. For a longer slide, consumers can simply extend the pieces that are nestled under one another—allowing it to grow with kids of different age groups. With its versatile design, the Stairslide can cover as few as three steps, and as much as nine.
