Disadvantages: Due to the characteristics of metal, the slide easily absorbs heat in high-temperature environments in summer, and the overall surface temperature of the slide will be relatively hot, easily causing the risk of burns; and in low-temperature conditions in winter, children may easily get frostbite.
Plastic slide:
Advantages: Plastic slides are usually made of safe and non-toxic materials, with a smooth surface and no barbs, making them easy to clean and maintain daily. Moreover, plastic slides have good plasticity, can be made into various shapes, and are colorful, which can better attract children.
