Doubles as a full-size rocket ship!
VinnyVeritas
Good parents understand that a good cardboard box is the most versatile toy/amusement that any kid really needs - and always appreciates!
Jmankjp
Just send them down in a laundry basket like I did with my brother! He still can't remember, but I learned an important lesson that day.
Archeron
This is from "Story of this Life". Site the sauce and check them out!

Way to go mom! Big up to dad washin' up in the back too
lowfunctioninggenius
I like Dad in the back there. Like it wasn't his idea in the first place.
BunchaCrunchOfHuman
Now show the tantrums as it is being dismantled
giho970205
I bet you dad had a go at it
Dude229
I kmow im getting old cause my first though wasn't "looks fun!", it was "that single cushion at the bottom isn't gonna be enough padding"

the first 5 minutes of Antman 2
Juroopiloo
We'd shove each other down, in big plastic totes/bins. Half the time the front end would catch and we'd go tumbling haha good times
Traquaire
I did this a year or two ago and it was extremely dangerous. 100 year old houses have too steep stairs...esp using cardboard as the sled.
huffnpuff72
Used to line the stairs with couch cushions when parents were out. Told them years later and get said ‘we knew’
IWAHALOTMORE
Notice how a couple extra cushions were added between cuts.
ElRealElGuapo
I too would take this kids mom
elbac
pissed dad on the background..guy who never built any of his lego gifts- mom did
CommunCreator
Dad’s busy installing the appliances from which those boxes came.
pfunk81
How in the hell did painters tape hold that together???
Tall4APanda
Good job, mom.
herejusttopointouterrors
This. If it were a man this site would lose their minds about "AWESOME DADDING!" and other bs instead there's criticism about the stairs
landisfloatingrock
My mother was like that. Heard stories of stuff like that for my brother and sisters. Then I was born, and she went to work to pay for them.
Out of necessity, of course. She loved us all.
BruceMan200
Painters tape is expensive
Ricdesan
Thats a wholesome Mom benchmark right there!

LoTRFanatic42
Anyone else remember the alternate ending to this one?
Merky600
Way back I had something shipped w huge sheet bubble wrap. Laid it out on sidewalk, called neighbor kids over w bikes. Looked at me like I
bendaresall
That was awesome! You a rockstar!
..was a goofball. First kid slowly rode his bike over it, Pop! pop pop pop! Chaos ensued after. I was cool adult on block.
Mr21782Man
My first thought is damn that's a big house.
WienerFart
My first thought is damn that would suck for an adult to use the stairs
yn44367
Yep! Rich people playin like their poor. lol
BrickShakes
Spoiled brats, back in my day we made it ourselves by ridding a mattress and it was mandatory to get injured!.
NotTinyPancakes
We didn't get anything and ours curled around, you rolled with bruises and ran back up on fors until the pain was too much lol
disposabledom
You got a mattress? Lucky brat. I got an olive green plastic laundry basket that would forward flip half of the time
Percules
We used a sleeping bag
Onlyhereforthelaughs
You kids and your cardboard tunnels. When I was a young teen I went sliding down the stairs on my tibias and I liked it! Also -
I have no idea how my knees are not fucked up. They should be super fucked up from that.
I know they were burning from how much fun I was having.
RedNightHawk
Huh, thought it was going to go straight out the door. Back to school and all, y'know.
toddscat
I built one that ended at a busy road. Kids never came back for another ride so I took it down.
clamdriver
Did Mom or the dog give it a try?
mrputter
moodring
Exactly what I was thinking. PBF for the win!
Nykidemus
I tried the 'sled out the door" thing they did in home alone when I was in grade school. The door was about two feet to the left though.
I guess I thought I could turn a little at the end? I did not think my clever plan through
At least you were able to mark where the new door should go...
RetrogradeLlama
Get the dog in there.
counterintel
Bludabeagle
'Blu' went once, but wasn't able to get an pic, until after....sorry.
CobraGuy
I was so disappointed the dog didn't get to go
blaze1984
That’s what I was thinking; Send the dog, SEND THE DOG!
KeyMasher
cactuskid1956
Yea!!
dogboybastard
Did that minus the cushion. Can't coddle kids, toughen them up through pain from fun. We also gave them boxes to toboggan down the stairs
Livetinydienever
Yea how's your back doin
AllWeAreIsDustinNguyen
Needs a giant stone ball chasing them. And blow darts.
Rips4w
Teaching safety isnt coddling. There are plenty of opportunities to get hurt in this life. Teach them how to lessen those chances if posible
Safety is for adults. Kids are made of rubber and teaching them to not be a baby and cry when things hurt is good for them
throwawaysAreForCowards
You can teach kids to do that without hurting them when given the chance. Kids hurt themselves enough with out external help.
PapiChuloNumeroUno
It's not black and white. And nowhere did I say anything along the lines of what youre insinuating.
Sorry. Had some drinks tonight and said something I didn't need to. My apologies again
Not a problem.
Davidnfilms
As kids... we just used the stairs. My ass hurts just thinking about it.
BeatsBearsBattlestarGallactica
We used the laundry basket as a shed and dirty bedding/laundry as the cushion.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
My kids still do that.
Magus25
I still have back problems. Thump, ow. thump, ow. Thump, ow. I'm okay...... owww
Fritoe3
I just took my twin mattress and used it as a sled
Badprenup
We pulled our mattresses and couch cushions on the patio and jumped off the roof onto them
FaithAlone
Tuck your arms and legs in and let faith determine how many times you land on your head going down the stairs was my philosophy
cheesecakelove15
We used the top of a toy box. Didn’t work out too well.
neospor1n
Laundry hamper that flips the second you lean forward and the bottom catches on a stair.
erne1
We rode down on a mattress
Ree81
Apparently me and my brother used to 'bicycle' with our feet pressed against each other, and kick the other in the nuts...
voodoofu
We used a suitcase
Rehjee
We went head first on our bellies.
Isotab
We used clothes baskets, broke a few of those and put a hole in the wall
PURPZxBUBBALOO
Laundry basket ftw! That is until we put a hole in the wall.
kjb72
Loved every minute of it when I was little. Bump bump bump bump. The banister was fun too!
rebmafire
We hauled the mattress from one of our bunk beds, lmao. Ride toboggan style. It used to make the loudest RRRRRR noise over the bumps. 10/10.
Darthchibikyo
Every blanket we could find overlapped to make a smooth ride. Lots of adjusting required after each ride. Very bumpy
I'd ride my snowboard down the stairs
GarryrGarry
Crazy carpet went fast and it hurt but was fun lol
LadyLink
We just used a sleeping bag. We had stairs that took a corner at the end. We'd pile that with blankets and pillows. TALLYHO. 1/2
We never hit the blankets. XD inevitably we'd always face plant the wall. It's a miracle we didn't fill it with face shaped holes
darxide
We used to do it while going "UHHHH" all the way down and thought it was hilarious "uhhhHHHHhhhhhHHHHhhhhhHHHHHhhhhhHHHHhhhhhHHHHH"
Persmo
Yeeees! This! For some reason i had forgotten about it. Weirdly i don't remember it ever hurting. Guess that's how young bodies work.
RunsWithScizrs
The rug burn was so bad!
robotobo
We got in sleeping bags and ran into the closet door that was right at the bottom of the stairs.
oogaloogalooshka
Once my brother zipped my sister up in one of those sleeping bags, tied the top shut with a belt and pushed her down the stairs. Fun times
harryht
I used to go down on my knees lol
WyldStallionz1
Shoot, we just got in the box and pushed it down the stairs hoping it would slide without toppling painfully. They always toppled. Painfully
alcaray
And we liked it.
garzacalypse
We used a laundry basket and made sure to lean back.
JustAnotherUsername1234
All about using a sleeping bag,
aFlailingTuna
We tried the same with a laundry basket.
AShartInTheWind
My grandparents had one of these at the bottom of their stairs. We hit this thin so many times growing up.
ShamelessSeamus
Why did all of our grandparents seem to have these?
cornzilla
We rode a twin mattress down the basement stairs and hit a wall. No ragrets. Just maybe less brain cells.
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Cast iron school desk! Jesus, those things weighed like, 75 pounds!
My cousin has a nice scar on his forehead that can confirm.
