WE LOVE IT!!!
My MIL just bought this for our noq 21 month old sons two months ago, its terific! They love it and its by far the best house out there. WE use it every day and it holds up to much abuse, but we really bought it because it wasnt pink and frilly, a must with two BOYS

Our sons are still a little young to climb all over our very large wooden swing set, and we wanted more for them to play with, this house is just soo awsome. Its a little large, so I dont suggest you purchasing it for indoor use (especially since every side had an activity so it wouldnt be as fun against a wall). It can fit both my boys in it and the weather doesnt do any damage... we plan on covering it with a tarp in the winter though... before our sons go inside we wipe it down with dissinfected wipes and get all the little bugs out for them, no biggy...

Now for all the extras!!!

SPORTS SIDE->
* Basket ball hoop, now we dont have to buy a little one that will just tip over anyway (we have one inside) and our sons love to play with it (they are only in the 32nd percentile) so its a bit tough to make a basket on the highest setting, it can adjust to the top of the house, or to right abouve the soccer net, great for toddlers or older children!!!
* The soccer net also doubles as a little window and our sons really love to peek in and out of it... its very durable and there is no ripping in it *yet*... but they like it when my husband shows them to kick the ball inside, and it keeps the air flow throughout the toy house nice and fresh...
* The little number game is cute, my sons dont understand it yet, but for older family and friends its a big hit

SUPERMARKET->
* A little ATM machine, so adorable and my sons cant get enough of it... although the older kids have more imaginative play with that part of the house
* The little window alot of the younger toddlers enjoy, its one of their favorite parts of the house, all little kids love opening and closing things, yet again older kids like to make this a McDonalds drive in window or something... great fun
* The big window makes it easy to see how the boys are doing inside, and it also keeps it nice and fresh, not too moldy and stuffy like some of the other houses, we like the big window

GAS STATION->
* The tunnel is a big hit wiht the toddlers, they like to peek through it, its my sons favorite way to get in! The older kids like to chase through it and try to "fly" through...
* The little pump is great for kettrikes and cozy coupes, my sons and the other toddlers like putting it into the cars gas tank, they think thats cute, but the older kids sometimes pretend its a hose or something, very cute imaginations
* The little telephone is a big hit with everyone, they love pretending with it and I usually find it everywhere but the base, but hey thats no biggy
* YEt again more ventalation with the window... I think thats why this house doesnt get too much mold or little bugs... theres just no really dark and damp spaces!

SCHOOL HOUSE->
* Theres not too much to this side of the house, and it doesnt really look like a school, but the younger kids like slaming the door
* The older kids make it a barn and like to pretend its a stable door, very very imaginative
* EVEN MORE VENTALATION AND ANOTHER SPOT TO SEE EVERYONE, TWO BIG WINDOWS AND A BARN-DOOR...

This house is perfect for toddlers, and bigger kids (up to about 10-11ish) there are just endless possibilities for this house and everyone enjoys it... I always know theres something for EVERY one to have fun with outside... the perfect playhouse out there

Our boys love it
My 15 month old twin boys (at the time) got this house for christmas! They are now 20 months, and since the weather got nicer, they REALY enjoy this house.

* It is very big, and can hold about 4 kids in it
* There is more than just a "house" to it
* Its very durable and can withstand harsh weather
* WE keep a tarp over it, so we dont get too many bugs and gross things in it
* My boys love the little basket ball hoop, now we dont need to buy one separatly
* The soccer net is adorable, but my boys love peeking through that
* the little games on the outside of the house are just too great
* Along with the wooden swingset, built in and kiddie pool, and the watertable, this is the "big" outdoor toy
* The colors make it appropriate for boys and girls
* It is VERY adorable, not too big or small
* The price is a little steep, but we got a very good deal

We love this house, its soo much more fun than the others, as its got much more to it, its pleasing to the eye and my twins love it, I wouldnt trade it in for anyother one, never

Worth the Money!
We bought this for my son's 1st birthday. He loves to be outside and we figured this would hold him until we bought a larger swing set later on. I can't say enough about it. He loves walking in and out of the door, opening and closing the window and laughing at the dog through the soccer net. My husband crawls in and our son walks around looking in all the windows and laughs. At his little party, his friends (ages 9 mos. to 3 years) all enjoyed inspecting it and looking in and out of the windows. The three year old tried to get them all to play school. I'm confident he'll play with this for several years. And we set it up in about 30 minutes. It does help to have a second person to hold things while the screws are put in. ... Read more

My kids love it
I have three children...ages 1,3 and 5 and they absolutely love this bounce house. I purchased this one after the Sponge Bob one we had for three years split at the seam. We love the slide feature especially for the one year old. The only few things I noticed compared to the other bouncer is that the sides are significantly lower than the previous house and I worry my 5 yr old could flip over. Also it does not get nearly as firm and like a previous writer I have noticed some air leaking out at the seams. Although I think they purposely do not want it to get as firm to prevent splitting as there is an air valve to tie on the bottom which the previous models did not have. All in all a good buy. Also the bag it comes with actually fits the house with some manipulation vs some of the other models. So you have to outweigh the firmness of the house (which is less) vs the slide feature (which my kids like to run up!!)

Good Night's Sleep
Although I haven't had this very long, I've been impressed with its durability and usability.I had been concerned that my very active 5 & 3 year old boys might find be too much for this bouncer, or that the bouncer might be too small.However, I have now had 5 kids in there at the same time, 4 boys (2,3,4,5) and a 6 year old girl, and it's held up quite nicely.Even though this is a lot smaller than the full-size rental bouncers, the kids seem to be able to avoid each other if they want to. Of course, they usually prefer some form of tackling each other :-)

Packing up and setting up are a breeze -- the whole thing takes me well under 10 minutes (1 minute to inflate, and about 5 to unroll the bouncer and stake it to the ground.)

The bouncer for the most part seems pretty safe.The only thing that I found less than ideal is the back mesh stays together with a single velcro fastening.My kids quickly learned that they can get in and out this way, so it's not always fastened.The problem then is that sometimes they will jump against the mesh and fall out.This has yet to be a problem, but the parent in me always worries that they'll bounce out a little too hard one of these days.Still, that's probably not too much of a concern, since they'll likely get more bruised just jumping on top of each other.

Love it!

This takes the plastic playhouse to a new technological level. Impressed by the hipped4-foot-8-inch roof, red-shuttered windows, and doorbell with 20 different sound effects? Wait for the kids toget inside. First there's a complex, multi-buttoned wall phone. Then there's the motion detector. That'sright--as kids move around, the house senses where they are and responds with different sounds. Otherfeatures include a table that flips over to turn into a stove, and a back wall with a crawl-in hole. Theplayhouse requires two C batteries, not included. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Great Toy!!!
My husband and I bought this house for our sixteen month old for christmas.He loves it!!We have a little couch in it for him and he'll go in there and sit on the couch and talk on the phone or to his stuff animals.It's great for the imagination and it's big enough for my husband and I to go in it and play with him.The only downside is that it gives him a place to hide when bedtime comes around!

My girls totally love this!
After looking at about 20 playhouses and reading about a million reviews, we bought this for our 3 and 1 year old daughters. It's a good thing, because they LOVE it! It was very easy to assemble, my husband and step-son put it together in about a half hour. It's in our living room! All of our kids (from ages 1 to 11) LOVE to play in it. We put our daughter's play kitchen in it too and now it's even more like "mommy's house" We don't use the phone feature too often, but the kids don't mind. They read stories in there, play "house" and just about anything else you can think of. It can fit my 4 kids in there, but then nobody can move. However, for just two of them, it works out fine. They also play "McDonalds" with the stove/table feature. It's so cute! I absolutely recommend this play house for anyone who's not sure which to get. It's sturdy, easy to assemble and fun for all ages.

Great Playhouse
I purchased this playhouse for my 2 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. She loves to pretend play with Mommy.She loves the doorbell/play phone and loves to play house and "cook supper" with Mom.It is sturdy like most Little Tikes products.The only complaint I have is that there is no floor to keep it dry inside.It is a little pricey at $199, but my daughter plays with it every day. ...

If your child (or your budget, or your yard) is too small forone of those monstrous cedar outdoor play structures, check out theHide & Slide Climber, a miniature version of the same idea. Itsbrightly colored (yellow, red, teal, and purple) plastic sections snaptogether quickly, and they won't rot. A red 40-inch slide leads downfrom a platform 26 inches high; underneath there's a crawling andhiding space. It's very stable--the two large "feet" on the side panelsmake the unit almost 60 inches wide. Requires adult assembly, but not asecond mortgage. --Richard Farr ... Read more

A good, basic climber and slide
My in-laws purchased this slide for my son's second birthday.He has enjoyed it quite a bit already.It's durable and not too big if you have a small space.

Great slide and climber
I bought this for my twin girls who are almost 2.5 years old and they simply love this slide. I was trying to decide between this Hide and Slide Climber and the Kangaroo Climber and I chose this one, and I am glad I went with this slide. Six months ago my girls played on the Kangaroo Slide at a friend's house and loved it, but I found the Hide and Slide Climber to be better for older toddlers as they have to climb two steps to get on to the slide, and then the slide is higher and of greater length, so they can slide faster and longer. I would not recommend this slide for young toddlers (less than 2 years) but certainly for preschoolers, I think this slide is a great buy.

Happy Dad
I just purchased this for my daughter which will we turning two in a couple of weeks.She loves to slide and climb on things so I think she will like it.It took me along time to pick one of these out,I really liked the age range on this toy.I think you get more for your money this way. ...

Editorial Review

Over 10 feet long from end to end--with portholes, doors,ladders, slides, nooks, and crannies galore--this molded-plasticplayground promises years, if not decades, of entertainment before allof its possibilities can be exhausted. A 2-foot-long climb-throughtunnel connects two separate, open-topped towers (one is 4.5 feet tall,the other 5.5). The shorter tower has a swinging door and windows, thelarger one has two separate levels and two smooth-plastic slides (one is 3feet long, the other 4). It's the perfect investment for bigger andsmaller kids to play with together. But best of all, the playground canbe disassembled and rebuilt into eight different configurationswhenever the current setup loses its charm. With Little Tikes' typicalrock-solid, kid-friendly construction, you can bet this sturdyplayground will be around long enough for that to happen.--Paul Hughes ... Read more

Note for Husbands
OK, here is a review from a guy who bought this thing for his daughter and nephew, and I think I ought to just make a quick comment to those husbands out there looking at this.On a side note, the one they sent me is not nearly as colorful as the picture in Amazon.com, no hot pinks or anything like that, mostly blue, dark green and tan.Fine, but not the color explosion it appeared to be.As far as assembly - crud.Give yourself 2 hours, have a hammer or rubber mallet and you would be best off with at least two good sized friends.This thing is just hollow injection-molded plastic pieces and the parts barely fit together.You basically need to press and bend the plastic pieces into one another while forcing them together to make the thing work.That seems to be what then keeps the thing "durable". I ended up having to literally stand on and jump up and down on some of the pieces to get them to fit into one another.Even then, one or two minor parts just do not fit tightly. On a pain in the butt scale, I give it a 7.5, maybe an 8.Be warned.

Not in wasp/yellow jacket territory!
We got one of these when we bought our new home.It came with the house.We love it as do my boys (4 and 16 months) but unfortunately, the wasps love it too.The bright colours attract them and the gaps left where the pieces join together are apparently considered prime real estate for wasps to build their nests.I'm allergic to bees so I am in fear whenever we go in our backyard.I do a walk-around the structure every day, but between morning and nap there have been industrious wasps and so we can't play outside till my husband comes home and gets the nest down and sprays the living daylights out of the wasps or whatever these nasty things are.We are looking into getting either a metal structure or a wooden one...something not as bright and cheerful looking and something without all those little holes.

Adjustable, but not easy to adjust
For the most part, it was easy to assemble though there are quality control issues with some of the plastic seams.I had to shave off some of the xtra plastic on two of the panels connecting 'locks' when they snap together. But most of it was pretty to assemble withone person. DO follow the directions when it comes to attaching the'tunnel' because it is a VERY tight fit, for safety reasons. The reconfiguring of the slides is very easy to unmount, but the 'tunnel' is a different story, you pretty much have to disassemble the panel from one of the towers to get it off.One other thing that that you can do with this playground is that you can just keep it separate, it is very stable, and have 2 towers and one slide on each one without the tunnel attached in which they could have marketed it as a 10-in-1.I actually had only one of the towers assembled with the slide attached in the livingroom for my 2-yrs daughter to play with since it rained all weekend and we couldn't set it up outside. ...

Great fun for all.......
We have had this playground for a couple of years now and it is still a big hit. We have three boys ages 2 1/2, 6 and 10 and they can all have fun on this. The 10 year old is getting a little big for the tunnel but the big slide, which is bigger and taller than most slides on other climbers, is still lots of fun for him. The small slide is perfect for smaller kids, too. When we first got this the youngest was too little for the big slide but we loved that there was also a small slide for him. And he has now mastered the big slide just like his older brothers. All the kids like the bubble window on the top level, especially the littler ones who are not yet tall enough to see over the sides. They also like to climb and hide in the spaces underneath the climbing area. It is lots of fun for all three boys and their friends and cousins love to come over and play on it too. We have several climbers and slides but this is the biggest and everyone's favorite. This climber is also designed for a few kids at once so it has a higher weight limit which is good for the bigger kids.

Great toy-Overpriced though!
I received this today with much fuss with Yellow Freight over my driveway. (Their 18-wheeler was too big for my driveway) I thought "Wow my son is going to love this toy. Look at the picture!There are 5 kids on it.It's going to be huge!" Wrong! The picture is an illusion. For the price, you are better going with the 8 in 1. I was upset about the size. $600--I'd want it to fill up 1/4 of the yard :) If you can get this second hand, I DEFINITELY recommend it. It's durable and the kids will have a lot of fun. One final note: The only directions you are going to get with this is a set of 26 pictures with NO WORDS. They are really dark so you may want to have a phone handy to call Little Tikes consumer service. (Also needed for set up-another person, a screwdriver, a hammer and a block of wood--NO KIDDING)! I think this toy will last forever. THUMBS UP FOR QUALITY-THUMBS DOWN FOR PRICE.

awesome
Both my children, ages 17 months and 4 years old, LOVE this. The smaller slide is perfect for my little one and the bigger one is fabulous for my older son. All I can say is AWESOME. The only thing I wasn't pleased about is the cost of shipping and that Little Tikes now only distributes this to online stores so you'll always have to pay the shipping. Luckily, I was able to find this used at a day care that was closing down, otherwise the price is definitely worth it. ... Read more

We love our log cabin
We love our log cabin, (...) Well we keep ours inside in the VERY LARGE basement/office. We also like that this house is not, "gender specific" being that we have two sets of twins, 3 year old b/g and 8 month old b/b. Our 3 year olds VERY MUCH enjoy this. Its great for imaginitive play,for an example, after they heard the story "little red riding hood" in nursery school, they came home and acted it out! They love to open and close the shutters, and I like that the "door" is really like a gate, so I can hear and see them. They have climed on the roof, which isnt recomended, but we dont bother them abnout it unless it gets dangerous (we have a soft ABC puzzle padding underneath to keep it from ruining the carpet anyway!)We dont face the bug and weather problems, and we needed this for indoor use anyway. When its not very nice out this is a GREAT toy to play with. OUtside we have a swingset, sandbox and a pool. This really isnt great for outdoor use in our opinion. I have seen MANY playhouses like this one, that are soley kept outdoors and no one p lays in them because there are bugs and yucky water and its a little gross. Inside there is no problem!. It was VERY hard to dissasemble, so I am glad we wont have to do that for MANY years, but putting it back together just took some dishsoap! All in all this is a very cute and durable playhouse, but I recomend all houses like this to be kept indoors if you want people to actually play inside it :).

Good Sturdy Product, but also a bug magnet
My husband and I bought this for our son when he was 3. It was one of the few play houses he could walk into without having to duck. (he's very tall for his age) So that was a plus! Not too bad to put together, but after a few times, he never played in it. We realized (and guessed) becuase it was so dark inside that there were tons of spiders and webs in there. When we finally decided to get rid of it, we discovered it was infested with spiders.
The next play house I would by for outdoor use, I would make sure it was very bright inside, and or partially opened on top.

GrandParent Best Gift Ever
This has been the best gift ever.It did not take my son-in-law any time to put together.My grandson who is 2 1/2 years old LOVES it.
Thank you for a great product Little Tykes!
Shipping cost is a bit high (...).That was a big draw back for me. ... Read more

greatest toy to keep the kids from being tv junkies
I must say!!! this is the best thing i've purchased for my kids yet!!!. I dont know what some people are complaining about with the platform not being very strong. While we were building it which took a nice 5 hours we had to stand on the top platform to work some of the screws in and it held my brother inlaw who's pushing 200 lbs without a problem. the ladder is spaced far enough apart so my 18 month old cant get up without help but my almost 5 year old is all over this thing. All they want to do is go out and play. I highly recomend this toy. My back yard looks like little tykes land.

Awesome Set for Kids
My kids are 8, 4 & 2 and they absolutely love their playset.We bought it back in the spring and they have played on it everyday that they possibly can. Sure, it took us about a day to get it together, but it was well worth it.My kids will play all day on this thing.Even the neighbor kids come and play with no problems.We usually have kids from age 12 and down on the playset.It holds my weight on the swings/teetertotter.The fort does seem a bit unstable, but it does hold a lot of weight.The only problem I have with it, is my 2 year old can't climb the ladder on the back or the rope ladder, so we have to lift her up.We even removed one of the big kid swings and put up her baby swing.

Well worth it
I don't agree at all with the negative product reviews for this swing set. Although it took my husband and father the better part of a day to put it together, once assembled it was obvious that this was a quality product. We did have to anchor it to the ground, but I would have done that regardless of the type of swing set we bought. The fort is solid and is able to hold my 4 year old and her two cousins at the same time. The slide is a good height, the rope ladder is tight and shows no signs of wear after months of play, the swing spacing is adequate for kids to get on and off when others are swinging. I question whether the other reviewers had the swing located in a proper place in the yard to allow room to move in front and in back of the swings. The only problem I had was that water collected in the teeter totter-a simple hole drilled in each side eliminated that problem. I'm very happy with the swing, much prefer this over a metal set that might rust or a wooden one that would splinter. I would definitely recommend this set to others. ... Read more

The Swiss Family Robinson's treetop pad has nothing on theJungle Climber. This hideout has it all: a wavy, 4-foot-long slide; asecret revolving door; a rope-mesh wall for climbing; passagewaysgalore; and different levels set at staggered heights. Playfully castto look like colorful rock, wood planks, bamboo slats, and junglegreenery, the component parts of this 4.5-foot-tall climber assembleinto a circular configuration (6 feet in diameter) that has threeseparate dividing walls radiating out like spokes. With Little Tikes'usual tough, molded-plastic construction and smooth,kid-friendly edges, this playground will survive years of heavy-dutyplay.--Paul Hughes ... Read more

Truly Durable
My brother and I bought this Jungle Climber.It took a while to go together, but because it was so tight, I could tell that it was sturdy.My sisters are five and three and are rough on all of their toys, but this one has held up for quite some time.It was so sturdy that all four of us could sit on it and not worry.This toy is worth the pain of putting it together.One year later it is still in great condition.

my nephew loves it!
This jungle climber is a life saver, my little nephew who will be 2 next month just loves climbing and going down the slide. He spends hours out in the yard and he hasn't got board and he has almost had it a year. The only thing i didn't enjoy was putting it together. We had a little trouble getting the pieces together once i got out the veggie oil it went together fast.

fun to play, a pain to assemble
This toy is fun for my son who enjoys climbing, but a pain to put together and not all of the pieces are machined correctly. The instructions show two people assembling the toy with ease and no tools, but my wife and I tried to assemble this toy on Christmas eve, and we could not. It finally took my brother and I and several prying tools to get it put together, and while my son has a very good time with this toy, make sure that when you go to put this together you have two or three very able bodied people and some leveraging tools or it may not work. ...

Young children will get the hang of hanging with this cute swing from Little Tikes. Its blue plastic body sports sturdy yellow shoulder straps and a red T-bar to keep babies and toddlers safe; the T-bar can be removed for older kids. Parents should make sure not to hang the swing above concrete or another hard surface, and they should check that the support structure is secure. (The instructions don't specify how to attach the swing to the support.) The swing holds a maximum weight of 50 pounds. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

Poor strap design
We purchased this swing 4 years ago.The strap design makes it extremely difficult to get children in and out quickly.After four years the straps are completely gone.My two boys (5 and 3) enjoy it now with the middle harnass tucked under; however, I am now shopping for a new swing to use with my 1-year-old.This swing is great for the older children, but I would not recommend it for small children who need to be strapped in simply because of how difficult the straps are to undo.

Baby slouches
Like other reviewers, I purchased this swing because of the harness and the fact that it looked easy to get my child in and out. But my one year old slouches down in it a lot. It looks so uncomfortable. I just think it needs a couple design tweaks. I will probably return it for another swing.

Great fun and easy assembly
I got this for my son's 4th birthday.I was nervous about putting it together because the box was so large it didn't fit in our truck with the cap on.And i saw other reviews about this problem and we did what they recommended which was take everything out of the box.We put it together the night before his birthday after he was asleep and it only to us about 30min.(His father read the directions multiple times so that took most of the time)All the kids at the party loved it i highly recommend getting this toy.I also love the colors much more modern look.

Worth the money
I just bought this toy and put it together, with the help of my 10 year old ds, in an hour.I got it for my 20 month old monkey girl.This is toy is big enough for my 10 yo and small enough for my 20 month old.I had a wave climber 10 years ago for my ds and I like this so much better.It has a bigger platform to play on, the silde is high or low and the rock wall is much more fun to climb.Also the hideout underneath is bigger. You won't need a truck if you have them take it out of the box.I have a sport utility and it fit if with the seats folded down when it was out of the box.I know this toy will provide years of enjoyment.

Highly Recommended!!
This gym is wonderful.Our little boy is almost 2 and loves this gym!!He could barely wait to climb all over this while my husband and I were putting it together (actually, he didn't wait).Very, very, very easy to put together, took us less than an hour from start to finish.We read some reviews of other outdoor gyms and were very nervous about buying one, because some of the horror stories of families returning the gym, because it was so difficult to assemble.But, we were very happy to find out that this gym was not like that at all.He loves the slide and the climbing wall, and my husband and I liked this gym so much because both the climbing wall and the slide have 2 different settings, so the gym can grow as our little guy grows.We highly recommend purchasing this gym!Worth every penny! ...

Very pleased!!!!!
My son got this for Christmas when he was a year and a half old and he absolutely LOVES it!!! It is the first thing he plays with when he gets up and the last thing he plays with before he goes to bed. It is worth every penny! It is well made just like every other little tikes toy. I highly recommend this tool bench!

Mom, this workbench is SO COOL!
We got this workbench for our three year-old son, and he quickly pronounced it the COOLEST WORKBENCH EVER. His favorite part is, of course, the table saw. We used to have the Little Tikes Action Power Workshop, and I believe the Swirlin' Sawdust workbench has several advantages over the Action Power one: 1) the table saw on the Sawdust workbench is quieter because it is not battery-powered, 2) the piece of plastic wood that comes with the Sawdust bench can actually be sawed into two pieces, 3) the screws on the Sawdust workbench are easier to drive in, 4) the vise on the Sawdust bench holds things better, and 5) the colors on the Sawdust workshop are less garish. The Swirlin' Sawdust workbench also has a few disadvantages when compared with the Action Power Workshop: 1) the Sawdust table saw is not quite as easy to use as the Action Power one, 2) unlike the Action Power workbench, the Sawdust bench has no drawer, so there is not as much storage space for extra tools, and 3) this is a big one--there are not as many accessories, such as the level, birdhouse, and power tools that come with the Action Power bench (this is the reason I gave this workshop four stars instead of five). We already had some power tools (circular saw, nail gun, and sander) to use with this workbench, but without them, the Swirlin' Sawdust bench might be lacking in things to do. By the way, I have seen the Little Tikes power tools sold separately in some stores, and I have also seen them on Ebay. In summary, this workbench and its accessories, like all Little Tikes products, are very safe, sturdy, good-looking, and fun. You just can't go wrong with this brand. ... Read more

No Problems here!!!!
I bought the sandbox for my son's 3rd birthday, that was two years ago. It is still in great condition, it has been through some bad weather, even some hurricane force weather. Still, in great condition. No problems with rain getting in the sand and the scoop works still. And i havent notice rust the metal parts. This sandbox is wonderful and Little Tikes has great products.

AWEFUL AWEFUL AWEFUL!!!
I hate to repeat all the other reviews.The concept is great with the scoop and dumper BUT it doesn't just leak, it FILLS with water!!!The mold is absolutely disgusting, not to mention a health hazard to kids.I called little tikes several times and spoke with several different customer service reps and supervisors.Originally, they would only give me replacement toys (EXCLUDING OTHER SANDBOXES) worth the purchase price of the sandbox.The replacement toys not only COULDN'T be sandboxes, but they also couldn't be larger "truck ship" toys.After much complaining, they finally agreed to replace the sanbox with their dinosaur sandbox as well as other toys of my choice totalling the original purchase price.Little Tikes' response/explanation, "The construction sandbox is only designed to keep out animals and debris, not water".HOW RIDICULOUS!If I wanted wet sand, I would take my son to the beach!

We love it.
My 2 1/2 year old son and I love it. It's a lot of fun. The excavator scoop is a little hard to use but, beyond that... this is a sensational product. Easy assembly too. I highly recommend it. ... Read more

Just What I wanted!
My husband and I decided to by a swing set for our very active daughters 2nd B-day.While the price is kind of steep, its a lot better than $500 and more for the lumber ones that would take days to build or the cheap metal ones that will rust within the next year.So, I believe we made the best decision.Plus our daughter just loves it.And it should last a very long time.

backyard climber
I bought this climber for my 2 children, ages 28 and 14 months, 2 weeks ago.It is a nice climber, but not for the price and my kids don't play with it as much as I thought they would.The age recommendation was 3 to 6 years, but I think 2 to 4 is more like it.My cousins came over to play on it, they are 4 and 6 years old, and they looked way to big to be playing on it.Putting it together wasn't too bad.I did need a hand with the swing extension.Overall, I am disappointed.My kids love the park and love climbing on everything, but this doesn't hold their interest.

AWESOME!!!
We just got this for our 18 month old.She just had a liver transplant and you could say that it is a "guilt gift."The set up went VERY smooth until the last step.The poles (that the swings attach to) had a small dent where we were supposed to attach them - so it took a bit longer than anticipated.But all in all turned out great.She LOVES swinging on it, we did have to buy a toddler swing for her. And LOVES going down the slides. ... Read more

Wonderful Slide!
We got this for my son, age 2 and my daugther age 1.Both of their birthdays are in May so we figured they wouldboth love a slide.My son seems to love the one at the park we go to.My daughter is a little hesitant but I'm sure as she grows she will be more willing to slide with her big bro.My son LOVES this slide.He loves to turn the steering wheel and pretend he's driving a car or as he says a "vroom vroom".I don't think in his 2 years of life I'd ever seen him so happy.We keep this slide inside and it is not too big to fit in our playroom.Lots of space left for the other toys.I did however need to put a blanket at the bottom of the slide because my son would just about fly off the end of the slide and land hard on his backside.But the blanket works great and he just loves this toy! I recommend this for both inside and outside use! The price was great too! I mean you definitely get quality.The assembly too me maybe 15 mintues and doesn't have any small screws that may come off and become a choking hazard! I LOVE THAT FEATURE! Excellent product! Kudos to Target!

Perfect for my 15-mo-old b/g twins
I didn't want to like this product, this pictures really turned me off.But it's the perfect cross between a climber (which would be too big for safety) and a slide (which wouldn't have the ledge at the top where they can position themselves).Plus it's the right size for our living room.

The "rock wall" is fun, but my twins both love climbing up the slide.The trip back down is fast enough to be exciting.My daughter slides all the way to the floor & squeals with delight.

What I particularly like is that they can master this toy. It's so frustrating to be at the park with them & everything's too big or too difficult.This is perfectly scaled to a young, active toddler.

Reliefat last!!!
My busy 13 month old son has had serious separation anxiety. None of the many 'stations' in my home seem to keep his attention for more than the moment I am beside him.However I finally broke down and bought yet another chunk of plastic and hello!I made dinner, ate, swept the floor, and am sitting to write this review without the guy clinging and screaming on my leg!Miraculous!My 7 and 4 year old are equally involved in the play.They have guided him as he mastered the rock climbing and the slide climbing.I pray the interest lasts until Spring!Easy assembly too!My husband will be surprised when he gets home from work!Buy it, you deserve a break too! ...

Editorial Review

This bright red and blue slide is one of those backyard investments that children will incorporate into their play for years on end. The small four-step hike up to the top (36 inches high) makes it safe for toddlers, but the 60-inch-long slide will keep kids as old as 5 well entertained. A slight dip in the slide controls speed while adding a playful tummy-tickle feeling. Even after they turn 5 years old, children will probably find ways to use the slide in obstacle-course play and chase games. Because it's made of thick plastic, it can stay outdoors season after season without fading, rusting, or splintering. --Gail Hudson ... Read more

Come on Little Tikes...fix these assembly issues
Once together, slide was great...but come on now, Little Tikes -- what is the matter with you guys?Whoever invented their "hammer this pole into the metal clamp caps" approach should be fired ASAP.I've noticed they use this on other toys as well...It's extremely difficult to hammer those on (at least with other toys the pole piece was metal, which could actually bend the metal clamps... this one was plastic)...

I nearly returned it just on principle...only the eager eyes of my son saved it.He loves it now, but I don't plan on buying any more toys from Little Tikes without validating it does not use this assembly method.

My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves it!!!!!!!!!!!!
We picked it up today and my Husband assembled it in 22 minutes. My Daughter loves it. It's really strong and sturdy. My 15 month old is a little young to go up the stairs by himself but he too loves going down the slide with my assistance. I'm glad we bought it.

VERY hard to assemble
It took three adults an hour to almost assemble the slide. We still haven't figured out how to get the base connected, and hammering the red caps onto the pole proved impossible. We ended up filing down the ends of the pole and smashing the caps on. They are barely on though, so I am using duct tape over them. Putting the bar through the holes was also quite a challenge. Very frustrating. ... Read more

As any parent knows, a strong, durable, easily cleaned piece of furniture canbe an incredibly valuable thing. This friendly plastic picnic table and bench set fromLittle Tikes fits the bill. With bright, friendly colors, it's big enough to fit up to foursmallish kids for a quick snack or art project. When you're done, it collapses flat for easystorage. It's light enough and flat enough to throw in the hatchback or minvan or tuckunder the couch. Since it's plastic, stains wash away easily. Although it comes in onepiece, assembly can be a bit tricky and is best left to grownups. --John Moe ... Read more

a table for ALL the kids!
We wanted a picnic syled table for our 3 year old b/g twins and our 8 month old b/b twins. We were in luck when finding this gem, our basement is ALWAYS cluttered so the more the compact the better. Well they love this table (though the 8 month olds pull up a little tikes chair, they need a back). There are no chairs that get in the way and windup away from the table. You can fit alot of kids here, and there is a nice workspace. We use this for arts and crafts and for eating snacks. Its really easy to collaps and to bring back up, (we keep it under the couch downstairs, just barely fits! well the couch is about 1 1/2 inches infront of the wall, so its a little extra room). The kids climb on it, color on it, jump off and on it, and pull it around, (its light weight) yet the table still held up and looks like new. I likethat its not another piece of furniture that you have to keep out constantly, (i.e kitchens, toy houses, tool benches, ect...) this my easle and my pop-up tent are the only pieces of toddler furniture/large toys that fold away for easy storage. I recomend this for a family with multiple children, or for an outdoor table, though I wouldnt recomend this for a kids bedroom table, as its a little TOO big for that!

Cool Play Table for Kids !
Well I know that I am 9 a teen ,but I like to sit in this table even I can still fit.It's a great table not only for kids up to 5 also for me who's just 9 yr old teenager.

A good, sturdy table
We purchased this table for our 20 month old son for Christmas.He loved it right away.We have used it inside through the winter for crafts and whatnot and put it outside on the deck this Spring.My son loves to eat at his own table like a big boy.It's great for a kiddie table when we have company with kids. ...

cottage playhouse
This house is very easy to put together. Only took bout 20 minutes. My 3 and 6 year old girls love it. They pretend to cook and clean. I put two little tike chairs inside for them that I had purchased earlier. It is not as big as expected. And the box that it comes in is large so keep that in mind when you are hauling it. We had to take the pieces out of the box and haul it without the box in a small suv. Overall, It is fun and good playhouse for the money you spend on it.

fun house
This house is very easy to put together. I did it myself and it only took about 15-20 minutes. Very easy. You do need an electric screwdriver to attach the roof. It comes with a stove top with play sink. It has a full door and 3 windows. Only 1 has shutters. My 2 year old loves it. It also has a phone but it doesn't do anything. It was well worth the $$. ...

Editorial Review

It’s hard to overestimate how useful a solid plastic picnic table can be to any household that has young messy children running around. Indoors, it can be a perfect place for youngsters to sit and have a midday snack or get out the coloring books and engage in some creative play. On a hot day, haul the whole thing outside and use it as a pit stop for kids to fuel up on some fruit and water before heading out into the sun for more excitement. This collapsible picnic table from Little Tikes holds six small kids comfortably and looks like it can take quite a bit of the pounding that kids are bound to dish out. Collapsing it was easy but is not likely to happen by accident. The red, blue, and brown color scheme can fit in with any room décor and absorb the juice stains, crayon marks, and ball ricochets that it’s bound to receive. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

falls apart
This is by far the worst product I have ever owned from this company.It stays together for days and when my kids lean on it wrong it falls apart...and I mean all pieces a part.I would never suggest this table unless you really need to have one thatfolds up.Ours did not have the center hole so I guess ours was an older one.But buyer beware.

Great table!!!Recommended!
We bought this table for our twins when we moved and sold their high chairs.They've used it since they were 18mth (are now over 2 yrs old) and it still looks new even after *MUCH* abuse.Often I catch them standing on it jumping - but it still holds up fine.Very durable.

We don't fold it and put it away as the latches are a bit stiff and we really don't need to keep it in the closet or anything.We purchased the table because of the folding option for when we move again (military...) as we never know how much space we'll have at our next place.

We also have a 6yr old and she sits at it fine also along with the babies.We were orignally concerned that they'd outgrow it within a year or two but that doesn't seem to be the case.It will probably be around for several more years...

Just like Mommy and Daddy!!
This picnic table idea is just what the doctor ordered, to coin a phrase, and not only is it a durable item, but it's also mobile, and you can bring it outside or put it on the porch.Our girls have colored on it, ate on it, and played with their toys on it, and it's so easy to clean up after them, and the table has these great primary colors and is very attractive.We love it.And we recommend it, too!! ...

Great Climber but not easy to assemble.
We bought this for our 2 year old little boy and he absolutely loves it.He really likes the tunnel and tall slide.He also likes to pretend with the steering wheel.My husband was more than a little frustrated at times while assembling it but after it was all said and done he was happy to see that our little guy loves it.We also got a free sand box which our son also enjoys.

Twin Mama Rejoicing!!!!
I have always liked Little Tykes stuff anyway, and this slide is definitely no exception in quality, durability and enjoyability!!!I have 22 month old twin boys and they love it.They love the slide, the tunnel, the little footholds on either side to climb up and down, and they also love to jump up and down together holding onto the rails on the top!The steering wheel is also fun.They roll all their cars down both slides, even their huge cars (another plus about this slide is that it's wide!!!!) and the long slide is super fast.It's great.Well worth the money.We've only had this thing for a month now, but I think they'll play with this for years.

Some Great Outdoor Fun
We have two boys ages 3 and 20 months. They have throughly enjoyed this toy. It took my husband and I only 1 hour to assemble. My older son enjoyes the higher slide while my yonger son enjoyes the lower slide. They also love hiding underneath. It is very durable and well made. I know that our boys will enjoy this for years to come. ... Read more
