Step2 Kid Alert Visual Warning Signal V.W.S - 32-Inch Caution Go Slow Children At Play Signage - Durable Plastic Outdoor Playtime Safety Signs for Kids with Flag

I run a run club with children. We have tried many solutions in years past to let drivers know they were entering an area where we would be running. This guy is the perfect solution. It was easy to put together. I was worried about assembly since I had seen a number of reviews stating its difficulty in assembly, but I did not find that to be an issue, at all. This is large and visible enough, thanks to the color choices, to be easily seen. This guy is light weight and easy to move around when needed. I have not used sand nor water in the base and I haven't found a need to, yet. I'm sure on a windy day we might find ourselves needing to add something in to the base for stability, but so far that's not been necessary.Overall, I find this guy to be great! I simply added a laminated note to him that states "Run Club in Progress" and drivers are more aware of the situation they are driving upon. He was easy to assemble and light weight for moving about. This is finally the solution that perfectly meets our needs and I am very pleased.

I don't personally think others should review this item as a 1-star because it got ran over, because some cars are just going to be reckless no matter what is in the street. Since we bought this and put it out, we notice about 95% of the cars slow down and most slow down to extremely slow speeds (very appreciated). Our daughter knows she can't go out to play until we put out "Sammie" the turtle. It can be used as an educational tool to help them understood the importance of street-play.When factoring in the extra protection for your child, you can't complain at all for the low price of this V.W.S. Other signs we looked at were too flimsy or not worth the price at all.Note: I see many parents put this sign out and then feel comfortable just leaving their child(ren) outside to play by themselves. This doesn't give you an excuse to be a lazy parent; it simply provides extra protection in addition to ADULT SUPERVISION. Be smart, people..In short: Great protection and educational tool at an affordable price!

I really like this and am glad I bought this, although I think it's pretty sad that I've had to in the first place. After talking to my HOA President about what we can do to try and stop the drivers who fly down our roads, he basically said it's up to the police department to install any stop signs or speed bumps and suggested I buy one of these to put out when the neighborhood kids are outside playing. Whenever my kids go outside, I place this at the front of my driveway and I've noticed it helps a LOT (yes, we still get the occasional a-hole who is driving way too fast) but I'd say 90% of the cars that are entering the neighborhood slow down. It's a very obvious thing to notice when you're driving, it really sticks out and grabs your attention (how can it not, esp. with the flag?) The base of it needs to be filled with either water or sand so that it won't blow over. I have mine filled with water and it holds up great! Trust me, if you have a problem with a-hole drivers who insist on speeding through a neighborhood, definitely buy these, they really do help.

The little green guy, "Sam", is working hard to control the traffic speed in our small gated community. He gets the attention of the absent minded who have their minds on things other than their speed. Sam brings them back to reality.I move him to different locations so people don't become complacent seeing him standing in the same place every day..His name is Safety Sam, but we just call him Sam. He works seven days a week without complaining and his resume is impeccable. He has vast experience in traffic control, and although usually very friendly, he should be considered armed and dangerous by all who would dare to exceed the posted speed limit. He is neat and well groomed, doesn't eat much, doesn't drink or smoke, and sleeps in the garage. He has passed extensive background and credit checks, is licensed, bonded and insured, and has no political or religious affiliation.I recommend him to anyone with a speeding problem.....

This product met most of my expectations, and serves it's purpose well. My husband had to snap the main part into the base. I definitely did not have enough strength to do that! Everything else was easy to put together. The plastic is light enough for my two year old to drag it into the driveway when he wants to play, but that means a good gust of wind will knock it over as well, so we frequently have to set it back up. The base can be filled with water or cement, though if that's a big problem. I did have to contact Wayfair because the "Slow" sticker that was supposed to be included was not in the box. Fortunately they responded to my e-mail right away and sent me a replacement. Overall a good product, and better than the other options I looked into.

This thing costs way too much. However, it is unreal how effective it can be. Our 25-MPH street is a cut-through from two major roads in the suburbs, and during the day, we see a lot of traffic from people trying to save a few minutes and a light or two. When the kids are playing in the front yard or riding bikes on the sidewalk, I put this guy out as far as the edge of a parked car, right in the street. People actually slow down. (I don't keep this little guy out, I only use him when we're actively playing out front, so he doesn't become part of the scenery.) When I think about how it seems to make drivers aware, and reduces the chances of an accident - I'd pay much more than they're asking for this hunk of plastic. This particular design seems to be a well-enough-known symbol for "Slow down! Watch out for kids!" that even at a glance, or peripheral, drivers get the message.
