fire escape ladder?

Jon and I need to buy a fire escape ladder for the children for the second story of our new house. Their bedrooms are all upstairs and ours in downstairs.

So I went to order one online and there are so many different kinds that I have no idea what to buy. Anyone know anything about this? What the best kind is and where to get them?

Perhaps you could call your local fire hall. I heard a couple of fire fighters talking about these the other night and I'd be they know which ones are best.

I think Home Depot sells them.

The best rated is Kidde--you can get it on amazon.com too! 25' retractable and its $69.99. We have two. We also have Kidde smoke alarms. The amazon site is http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007O7DUY/sr=8-27/qid=1154726125/ref=sr_1_27/102-0983344-8604960?ie=UTF8

We have the ones from the One Step Ahead catalogue and really like them.

Carrie, why do you "really like them"? I hope you have never used them yet?

Of course she has "used them", how else would you practice Exit drills in case of emergency? Do you think the kids would get out the instructions during a fire and read them?

Anonymous, I can vouch that naming yourself after your favorite hero of fiction (or real life, for that matter) is extrememly satisfying. I fail to see why you don't give yourself a handle so people can tell which anonymous you are.

Some suggestions:

Lawrence of Arabia
Joan Fontaine
Zorro
Anakin Skywalker

How about a firepole/batman pole instead?
