Editorial Review

The three-wheel Preschool Scooter is a good solution for toddlers who,watching older siblings, have contracted a bad case of scooter envy. In front,two 4-inch urethane wheels are placed eight inches apart for stability; at theback, there's a 3-inch wheel and a "spoon" brake just like on those metal "bigkid" scooters. This vehicle is mostly plastic, but sturdy enough for the job,with comfortable foam grips. A cleverly designed "lean-and-steer" mechanism atthe front axle makes it significantly easier to control than some three- orfour-wheel toddler scooters. This one resists the tendency to tip over whengoing around corners. --Richard Farr ... Read more

BEST SCOOTER!!!
I bought this scooter for my 3 year old son 3 years ago and it is still the most popular scooter in our neighborhood! All the kids, ages 2 to 9 like to ride it. It is much easier to ride with the two wheels in the front. It is an excellent first scooter and I highly recommend it!

I completely recommend this toy!
We purchased this scooter a couple of months ago for our 2-year old (he will be 3 in August), and after his 2nd try, he was zipping, executing turns and stops all around our cul-de-sac, just like his 10-, 11- and 12-year old siblings on their "big kid" scooters! I was amazed! This is the ONLY scooter I found anywhere with the 2 wheels in the front, instead of in the rear, and it has made a tremendous difference. Educational value comes from the fact that it has improved his large motor skills, coordination and self-confidence! I read the earlier review where someone had problems with the durability of theirs, but we have had no problems at all, and he gets pretty rough with it, at times.

The best preschool scooter around
My 4 year old son has been using this scooter since he was
2 years old. He has had a great time with this scooter.It
really turns well and is very stable for young riders.Most
preschool scooters have the two wheels in the back but this
scooter has the two wheels in the front making it easier
for the young rider to scoot.My little guy can keep up
with his older friends when they are on their two
wheel scooters. This scooter provides a smooth ride and
is very durable.This is the best preschool scooter around.

We love it!!
My son got this scooter for Christmas at age 2 1/2. Right away he had no trouble balancing and quickly learned to turn. We had tested other "little kid" scooters with the 2 wheels in the back and they were much harder to balance. He loves this and rides it every chance he gets, he has learned how to control it very well which is why I gave it 3 stars for educational value. I would have given it 5 stars for durabilty, but he has 2 big brothers that also want to ride it. When the kids over 50 pounds get on it, I can see the wheels bow, so they are not supposed to ride it.

Great toy!!
My two year old received this for Christmas. We just got it out since it is just warming up(April)and he loves it!! I never would have thought he would be able to ride it as well as he does. Very fun and a great introduction to a real scooter. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Radio Flyer’s Pathfinder is the SUV of little red wagons, sporting a rugged plastic body and offering tikes a luxurious amount of towing or riding space. The wagon’s convertible seats fold down for maximum storage capacity and then flip up to comfortably accommodate two children. Webbed seatbelts ensure that children don’t bounce out when riding over rough terrain. The Pathfinder’s interior also has four built-in drink holders to keep sippy cups and juice boxes secure during the ride. The extra-long handle has a large, loop grip that even kids can control and that folds under the wagon for more compact storage. Like all Radio Flyer wagons, this one has heavy axles to handle a lot of weight, heavy-duty casters for making tight turns without tipping, and durable rubber tires that provide a soft, quiet ride. The Pathfinder measures 39-1/4 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 16-1/2 inches tall. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

#1 Wagon
My parents bought this for my son last year for Christmas. We searched and searched for the right wagon for two toddlers. After receiving this one I would recommend no other. The heavy duty RUBBER wheels (not plastic)are great on any surface. We have a huge property and it's great to go to the garden, to the beach, and for walks. The seatbelts are a must with little ones and I don't know what I would do without them!!! This item is a must have for children and parents alike!

Best Wagon Out There
This wagon is great! My 22 month old and 8 month old love it! There are seat belts so we can go across busy roads without anyone escaping! The wheels roll beautifully and the cup holders are perfect. I would recommend this wagon to anyone looking at all the different ones out there! My older son can pull my younger son (with supervision of course) and feel like a big boy. The wagon is sturdy and smooth so there is no worry about the little one!

Best Wagon
We bought this wagon for my son for christmas last year and he was only 4 months old. Once he learned to sit well on his own we would take him for walks in it and when it was time to go inside he would cry. He absoulty loves it. Very easy to put together and wheels turn great. Easy to pull. Highly recommended.

The BEST Wagon!!
I just bought this for my grandson and it is AWESOME! Like one mom said the seatbelts are wonderful - I have not seen another wagon with seatbelts and being 11 months old and learning to walk he is always standing up! Now I don't have to keep turning around to check on him. Everything about this wagon is perfect - the handle is long enough to pull without having to bend over; the wheels make pulling SO easy (one review said they had problems with the wheels getting stuck- not me!) and we go off road adventuring too!! - neat cupholders for his bottle - cool storage compartment for all his neat little finds along the way - WE LOVE IT! You have to go get one - you will not be sorry! It is the best investment yet as far as toys are concerned. THANK YOU RADIO FLYER!

Best Wagon Ever!
I was searching for the perfect wagon for my daughter's 2nd Birthday. We decided to purchase this one. I love the fact that it has rubber wheels for a quiet ride. I also love the fact that the seats fold down to make a flat surface. That made it great for towing all of our gear into the zoo, such as our coolers, bags, etc., and then when my daughter fell alseep we layed a blanket on top and it was a perfect place for her to rest. While she enjoyed her ride in the wagon, we were able to strap her in with the seatbelts so she wouldn't try getting out while pulling the wagon. Great price for a great wagon! ... Read more

Wonderful Item for Babies and Moms!
I can't tell you what a lifesaver this play tent is! It keeps baby safe and happy while we're on the beach or at picnics, and it's FUN FUN FUN for her! The material is durable, and it sets up and stores away in a snap! There should be one of these in the car trunk of every parent of an infant or toddler! It's perfect for changing baby too! ...

Sand & Water Fan
Please read all reviews very carefully as most of them pertain to the "Easy Store Sand and Water Table" (which is 2 pieces). The Kingdom Table is great as it is one table with 2 areas of fun. This table provides hours of fun for the young children (and older ones as well - even me!) The plastic cover is great as it covers the entire table where the hard covers just "sit" on the box leaving room for bugs to sneak in! This is a must for those who love the beach, sand and water but not all the hassles that come with it!

Caution: Reviews in this section apply to wrong product
Read these reviews carefully. Some are talking about the Friendly Toys Kingdom sand and water table; others refer to a two-piece Little Tykes sand and water table that is not as well-designed.

Regarding covers: I prefer the soft cover on the Friendly Toys Sand and Water table to the hard cover on Little Tykes sand products. The elasticized cover keeps bugs out better than the hard cover.

Awful construction
In theory, this is a great table and my kids like playing with it. But putting it together is nearly impossible. The two sides have to link (because the water table has only two legs) and really don't. The table has crashed on my son's feet several times. When I contacted Little Tykes, they said "Yeah, that's hard to put together." The water side needs four legs or it needs to have a metal dowel that the water side can turn around. I would NOT recommend this product unless they fix this HUGE design flaw. I'm disappointed; Little Tykes products are not usually like this.

Great product just one small set back
My 2 year old loves this table. It's a great size, easy to assemble, easy to clean. Be careful with the flag inserts on the corners. One time she bent down to pick up a toy next to the table and one of the flags almost poked her eye. We were lucky it just poked the side of her eye. We still use the table, just without the flags.

too hard to hook together
My son loves this table, but I don't love trying to hook the water part to the sand part. It always seems to come apart, and the water side goes crashing to the ground. ... Read more

Editorial Review

If you grew up with a Radio Flyer wagon but lost it along the way, here's your chance to own abrand new one. The body and sides are made of finished wood. Painted bright red, the stake sides simplylift out, leaving you with a natural-finish flatbed. Steel wheels with big, inflatable pneumatic tires rolleasily on pavement or rough terrain. At 33.5 inches, the extra-long handle makes turning easy. The wagonbed is 36 inches long, 15 inches wide, 9 inches high, and 21 inches from the ground to the top of thewagon. The durable-tread rubber tires are 10.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches wide. If you're lucky, yourchild might let you borrow this wonderful wagon. --Louise Carter ... Read more

Very satisfied
This wagon was my second pick, but has ended up being my first choice! The wooden wagon bed stays cool even in the hot summer sun (unlike a metal bed), and the tall wooden sides keep "exploring" babies in their proper place. My son loves riding around in this wagon, and it has room enough for all of his favorite toys too. Walks are smooth and quiet (no rattling parts) and the large tires really make this wagon a pleasure to pull.

Great Wagon for Growing Families
We bought this wagon when we found out that we were expecting our third child. Since our oldest had just turned 2 when we found out about baby 3, we figured that we needed a way that we could safely transport three small children to and from the park, around the zoo, etc.

This wagon has been great. We've brought it to the zoo lots of times, and it fits right into the back of the minivan once you remove the siderails. The kids absolutely love to ride in it, and are looking forward to getting the cooler and the wagon trailer.

Wagon Canopy
... It looks like it cames from the horse and buggie era LOL but it covers the entire wagon definately worth it. I love this wagon but i am some what worried about the paint flaking off as i have read, but will make sure to cover the paint with car wax as told on the radio flyer site. We love this radio flyer! Its big you can fit everything in it!

Great #29 Wagon
I can't say enough good things about this wagon, but I also wanted comment on finding the correct wagon pad that will fit it. The pad sold through this site does not fit. You need to find the pad made specifically for Radio Flyer model #29, which I easily located through other online merchants. It is worth the effort to get the pad as it seems to make the ride much more comfortable and makes the wagon a good napping locale too.

GREAT GREAT GREAT
My daughter just turned 1. She got this as a present and loves it. It is a smooth ride on all types of terrain. We go to the park, the beach and around the block. There is plenty of room for all the extra stuff you want to take along. There is even enough room for a friend and their stuff too. I would recommend this wagon over the steel one to anyone. It is a quiet ride and there is no chance of rust since it is made of wood. ... Read more

Many of the Features of the Costlier Versions
I purchased the Supertrike 4 after seeing the top-of-the-line Kiddio trikes at the mall. I was impressd by the features, but the cost was a little high. I am very happy with the combination of features and value offered by the Supertrike 4. The seat, inflatable rubber tires, "dump truck" bed, and hand brake are identical to the higher end Kiddio trikes. The design is not as "tank-like", but it looks to me that the Super Trike 4 is very strong, and actually will be a bit lighter than the higher end versions. The grey/blue/yellow color scheme is a little less vibrant.

I was also happy that the push bar comes included with the price of the trike, not as a separate purchase. The bar works well. My daughter is a tall 2 1/2 year old, and in the shortest seat position (there are two), the trike is just a bit too long, so there is plenty of room to grow. The rubber tires are smooth and quiet on my driveway, and I even pushed her around the grass. The steering is limited so the front tire can't rotate too much and cause a tip hazard. The trike seems very stable. Unlike the more expensive versions, the front wheel cannot free wheel, so your child always has to pedal, or take their feet off the pedals.

Tools are provided for assembly, which took me about 45 minutes. The directions are fairly clear. Hopefully this will save people some time: The seat has a 3-point safety harness, and the procedure is to screw the harness to the seat. The assembly instructions show holes in the harness straps and seat. They don't exist. Little indents in the plastic seats indicate where you should put the screws. It turns out you can just screw right through the nylon strap with no problem, so you don't need the holes in the strap. The plastic of the seat gives and then forms a tight fit with the screw. So you don't need the holes there either. It took me a few minutes to stop looking for the holes and just try it.

Overall my daughter seems very happy with the Supertrike 4, it seems well-built, and I am happy with the features for the price.

Don't worry
I'm not calling anyone a liar or anything but I have this trike and it is next to freaking impossible to "get your foot stuck between the pedal and the wheel". Also you have to be an idiot to not be able to put this thing together. The trike ships in basically four pieces. With a ratchet you can put it together in 15 minutes no problem. Best value of all the Kettler trikes. Inflatable tires a huge difference. If you need the coaster wheel pay double to get a "real" Kettler model. Other than that this one is close to perfect

disappointed
I was in the market for a tricycle for my daughter's 2nd b-day.
I was going to buy a Radio Flyer, but the one I was looking at got bad reviews. So I found this Kiddio, had wonderful reviews!
Bought it, received it, put it together by myself (2 hrs). It was by far the hardest thing I ever put together!:( Next bike I buy will already be operational!! that's for sure!!
When my daughter and I tested it out, she was steering, so I COULDN'T!!! Not Good!! and we all of a sudden came to a dead stop, her foot was stuck between the wheel and pedal!! She wasn't hurt.:)
!!!!VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!

great bike for my son who has autism
We were looking for a bike for my younger son as he wanted to get on his elder brothers bike, so we thought he is ready for a bike and took him to toysrus there he just went and sat on this bike,and ever since we bought it home he loves it very much, he gets on the bike and asks me to take him out for ride in the evenings, this is a good sized one as my son is 2and1/2yr old is 42in and weighs around 38lbs, and as i said he is diagonised with ASD(autism spectrum disorder) so he wont stay in one place and wants to wander all around, but the belt on the bike helps him to stay in seat.
The only thing i didnt get is how to use the brakes on the bike other wise its really good one though bit pricey.

Great bike!
We just bought this bike for our two year-old. He was aprehensive about the pedals at first, but now he says "wheeee" as his feet go around and around. He's a little short at this time, but he will grow into it. I love the handle as it is easy to push and steer. It was worth the money. ... Read more

Lots & Lots & lots of fun
We got this table for our son for his 2nd birthday and he loves it and I'm glad we did. It was a hit at his Birthday party!
After reading all the reviews for other sand and water tables, I said this ones is the best and i'm right!
as for educational value, I rated it 4 starts, because It taught my son how play along with others and to share.
For durabilty, I definately can say it holds well.
My Husband had no place to sit and sat on top of the table and it held him!!Please don't misunderstand I did yell at him to get off, but it did hold him.
I would recommend this table to anyone!!!

GREAT FOR PRICE
this item was purchased for my 3 and 6 yr old. i got rid of the traditional sandbox as it killed all the grass and most of the sand ended up in the yard. I liked this one for the umbrella and for the fact that it was at kid friendly height. not as sturdy and durable as most step 2 products but great for price. There are little holes on the legs that i filled with water prior to putting together to give it more stability. the kids love it so that means i love it too.

hours of fun
We bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son so he would have something to play with in the backyard! I read reviews on all the different sandboxes/sand and water tables and ended up picking this one! After hours and hours of playing with this table and seeing other tables and playgroups etc. I know I made the right choice! The umbrella is a wonderful idea too!

Up, up and away
We purchased this table for our 3 year old daughter and she loves it. It was a smash with all the kids at her birthday party, not so much with the parents of the sand coated kids. My main reason for wanting a table was to prevent killing the grass underneath as a traditional sandbox would. I chose this one because it has an umbrella (which is very stable and adjustable) and because it has a hard cover. The cover attaches very securely thus keeping additional water, bugs, worms, leaves and various other things out...including my daughter, which comes in handy. My daughter is very pleased with the sand/water combo, rather I should say, the sand "in" the water combo. :o) Having a sandbox at her waist level seems to be very convenient for her. She scoots back and forth most of the time but can sit on a little chair and play too. I intend to bring it into the basement in the winter and fill it with rice (uncooked of course) so she can enjoy it year round. The drawback is the legs. They are attached with screws that can easily tear out and are not enough to keep the legs stable. Ours have not torn because I am very watchful of the position of the legs and prop them back up whenever I see them go askew. Other than that, I would highly recommend this table.

We use just water in this and LOVE it!!!!
I purchased this table a bit over a week ago and we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! I have twin 2 1/2 year olds and they can't get enough of it. We are using is as a water table only so I drain the one side and then just tip it up to dump the other, no problem. I love the umbrella to reduce their sun exposure. The nice stone color is great too, it blends in with the house rather than the red/blue/green of other molded plastic toys.

A couple things other people had concerns about that I found helpful to know-

Don't cut the black cords holding the lid on, these are elastic and just pull off so you can put the lid on tightly between uses. The instructions are inside so some people have cut it.

Someone mentioned not being anywhere to store the umbrella?!? I just put in back into the table before I put the lid on like it was when I purchased it.

As for the legs not being sturdy I think some people have over loaded with sand (only holds 40 lbs) and the other thing is when you install the screws keep turning until the plastic on the legs doesn't buckle in but is pulling back tight against the table frame.

Enjoy, we sure love it! ... Read more

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

so much fun
We bought this for our two year old daughter and she absolutley loves it. Not only does she play with it but my five year old loves it to. I even caught my eight year old in there with her friends .It is tall enough for the big kids to stand up .I looked over many of them and this one was the best choice I could ever make it is nice and roomy at least four kids are able to fit at a time and the telephone really rings and so does the doorbell .It is a great choice.A++

Great for indoors and outdoors
The grandparents bought this house for my 16 month old at Christmas (she's 22 months old now) and she absolutely LOVES IT! We have a small living room and we originally put it up in the house so she could play with it in the bad weather. It didn't take up too much room. The only "problem" we had with it being inside our house was the fact that our daughter would run inside and hide from us when it was time for the diaper to be changed. Good thing for the large window which allowed us to get her out of the house. Now the house is outside and I think it's a great value. (...) and I say buy it now if you are thinking of getting this house. It is well worth the money!!!

Brooke loves this little house
We purchased this house for my 22 month old daughter. One of her favorite things has been to ring the door bell outside of our house and now she has her very own, which she loves. I planted some flowers outside of her house which she is responsible for watering. One of the things that I was concerned with was that my daughter would outgrow it quicker than a larger (and more costly) playhouse. However, we purchased it on sale (...) so it was a no brainer!

We bought our daughter her 1st house at 2 years
We bought our daughter this house for her 2nd birthday last spring. We were hesitant at first, as this it an expensive gift, and money is tight with me staying at home with the kids. Looking back, it was an exceptional purchase(even better if you can get it on sale at Toys-R-Us, like we did). If you can splurge on only one big toy, this may be the one to get. There is lots of room inside for both kids and a parent. Because there's such a large window in the back, it's easy for poor old dad to get in and out. It's marketed as an outside toy; but we keep ours in the basement so the sun doesn't fade it. The only drawback(this only really bothers my husband)is that it takes up a lot of room. But, my girl LOVES her house, and so do we.

Great Playhouse
Santa brought this playhouse for Christmas for our 21 month old daughter. When we pulled the sheet off of it on Christmas morning her eyes lit up brighter than the tree. We have it in our playroom right now and she goes in it for hours. She loves all of the sounds it makes. She even has a mini couch in there and sometimes her tv/vcr combo is in there and she will watch her videos in there. It is roomy enough when we have our playgroup for at least 4 kids. My brother put it together on Christmas Eve in 1/2 hour. This was the perfect house for the money. ... Read more

Looks like you could ride all the way to the famed Milwaukee Harley factory and back on this toddler hog. Buttons on the frontproduce authentic rev-and-rumble, while another button (near the righthand grip) provides a single forward speed from the rechargeable 6-voltbattery. "Harley Davidson" flame decals decorate the sides, and the20-inch-wide rearend gives plenty of stability. Appropriate for a smallchild and a big flat area. --Richard Farr ... Read more

My son is a motorcycle man!
My son recently got this for his third birthday. I chose this one compaired to the full size Power Wheels Harley cause he is small for his age, and also cause of the difference in cost. He really likes it a lot. It's versatile enough to ride around in the house, and since it's getting cooler, that is great for us. He is really proud of it and it is so durable I can resell it when it's time to purchase a larger Power Wheels.

I am looking for a battery for a Harley Davidson I bought 2 years ago for my grandson. It has 6v 4-0 on it.run no-3070mv.It is blue. Yours looks like it is a cream colored one. I cannot find one anywhere I am wondering if the 6 volt for your harley davidson would work on this on of mine. also I bought a Lil Honda at the same time Cannot find a battery for it. It is a small black one. 6v number on it is 2-30096WM-A. The name on the Lil Honda is Tek Nek Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Christine Mooney

THIS IS AWESOME
We purchased this Harley for our son for Christmas. He is only 14 months old (started walking at 10 months, so he is mobile). He loves it. It took a week or so for him to figure out how to hold the "go" button down (he could only press it over and over before), and he is learning how to steer, but he giggles endlessly when it starts moving. I think it is starting him early on the hand/eye coordination. It is the perfect size for him and I am sure he will get a good 2 years out of it. You can't beat the price, either!

Great lil Harley
This is a great toy that teaches little ones to: stop/go, eye & hand cordination, etc.

Vroom-vroom
My 18 month old got this wonderful motorized bike as a gift. Initially, he was a little apprehensive about riding it but liked the buttons and the noise it made. It didn't take long for him to not be afraid of it and now loves it. Even though this is on the heavy side, this is a wonderful toy. I think it's geared more toward older toddlers and small children. ... Read more

It may not feature any loop-de-loops or terrifying hairpin turns, butpreschoolers will likely find this 10-foot-long roller coaster every bit asthrilling as grownups find the amusement park version. Molded in brightlycolored plastic, it's built for years of wear in either the backyard or theplayroom. The set's components fit together to form a downhill ride with anothersmaller hill about halfway through. What we loved most about this set is thefact that the individual parts are just as much fun as the fully assembled kit.The car, bright yellow with a sturdy handle, could just as easily be used aroundthe house if the child is too young for the coaster. And the ramp system isplenty of fun to roll cars, balls, or anything else. Perhaps our tiny toy testersaid it best: "Wheee!" --John Moe ... Read more

Hours of Fun for your Little One!
The Step 2 Up and Down Roller Coaster is a great toy, and yes, is hours of fun. The first day we brought ours home, our 14 month old had taught herself to climb the steps, hang onto the handle bars, and push herself off to get the coaster to move. The steps are easy for a little child to climb, and even if they fall, it's a VERY short distance, I sincerely doubt a child could get hurt on this. Our little one is now 17 months old, and the fun factor has not worn off. She now can push the coaster back to the top of the ramp, to go for another ride.....she's very independant, and this toy has been perfect for her. I think it's helped her and her urge to do everything on her own, and since it's an easy toy for children to crawl on, play with, they CAN do it on their own! Durable, easy to assemble, it maybe took us all of 5 minutes to get it together, and it moves easily. Washable, and our dogs have put the coaster and track to the torture test, too....you cannot hurt this toy! Highly suggest buying this. Plus, when she outgrows it, I know it'll hold up a long time, to be passed on to another child. Also, the coaster car can be ridden off of the coaster track, making it double as a great first "bike". We often see our little one riding it around the yard!

great investment
we bought this for our sons 2 year birthday. we had it out at his party and all of the kids loved it. it is a safe toy that kids of all ages can have fun with.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This toy was given to my then 2 year old daughter for her birthday. she just turned 5 and still loves it. To make things even more enjoyable, her older sister and brother love it. They are now 9 and 6 1/2 and still love to play with it. I took a ride on it and I loved it. They also have taken their silly pins and put them at the end and rolled the ball. They call the game rock and roll bowling. You can put it together in a "snap" and can easily be taken apart and stored.

Fun toy
My 2 year old got this for his Bday. I wasn't too sure about it at first because it is so big and the steps seemed like they could be dangerous. I was completely wrong! It may be big, but it is perfectly safe. He and the neighbor kid love to ride this and then enjoy pushing it up the ramp. They also like to send other toys down the ramp! I see this as a toy that is going to last many years!

Awesome!
Bought this for my oldest daughter when she was 27 months old. She loved it. My one year old didn't show much interest. But, just three months later, she loves it too! It's durable, easy to assemble and your kids will learn how to push the car back to the top. Too much fun! ... Read more

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

Hide & Slide Climber by Little Tikes
I like the product for its durability, but thought the kids (age 1 & 2 1/2) would play with it more. I think it is a little overpriced for what you get.

Happy Mommy
I just got this climber/slide! My 17 month old went nuts over it! It's perfect for my little girl to do her favorite thing (climb) and she figured out how to sit and slide with no problems. It fits great in her playroom and feels very sturdy. I am very pleased with this purchase. My favorite things about it are all the giggles, squeals and smiles! Yay Little Tikes!

Baby loves Hiding and Sliding
I bought this slide when my son was 14 months old. He loves it. We keep it inside since it is so cold and wet outside right now. It doesn't take up *too* much room in spare bedroom. He loves climbing up and down the steps. He is learning the steps of how to slide (1st sit down, then get one foot in front, then the other, then scooch forward). Just as the product name implies, he loves hiding under it and surprising me and playing peekaboo around the corners. It was a snap to put together maybe 15 minutes tops - if a piece is fitting too snuggly follow the directions and put a little soap on it to help it snap into place. I think son will enjoy this product for some time!

Perfect for little climbers!
Santa left this piece of equipment for our 15 month old son who was beginning to climb on everything. It was the first thing he saw on Christmas morning and was overjoyed. He spent a half hour exploring and climbing on it right away. He loves to play peekaboo and hide things on the top shelf or underneath.
We put it together in our (admittedly oversized) playroom, so he can have a gross motor playtoy indoors for inclement days. Though a young child should always be supervised on any climbing apparatus, I did just order a gym mat for the bottom of the slide, as the angle is steeper than forty-five degrees and provides a fast ride with a quick stop. It's also a nice way for practicing going up and down stairs.

good for all ages
We bought this slide for our daughter's first birthday and she loves it! She had just mastered walking and was starting to climb on our furniture, etc. This slide provided a safe indoor climbing outlet and has improved her coordination immensely. Her older cousins love it too.

The features I like best are the platform at the top of the slide and the fact that there is a bit of thrill in the slope of the slide: The platform allows kids to safely hang out (and seems like a fort) and the slide is tall enough that it envokes lots of giggles!

Be careful where you set it up as it is VERY difficult to get through a standard door frame. ... Read more

AWESOME!!!
We bought this for my 3 year old's birthday in December. He spent all winter riding it around the house! He absolutely loved it the minute he saw it, would go to it first thing in the morning, and ride it all day!! When spring came we took it outside hoping he would still love it as much. Well, he still drives it everyday!! He pretends it's a garbage truck, a newspaper delivery car, of course a loader..... It just goes on and on...I never know what he will pretend to do on this ride on!!!! I LOVE that he is getting excerise while "driving" it, too! He has battery powered cars, but prefers this one! How cool is that?!! As I remember, it was a little difficult to put together. The directions were not that great. I still had to give it 5 stars because it has held up great! My son absolutely LOVES it! It gets used EVERY day! He is getting excercise and using his imagination!!! What more could you want in a toy!!??!!

Great toy.
M 2 year old son loves this tractor. After his cousin got one for his birthday. He cried and cried for his own. His grandparents bought it for him and we can not get him off of it. He loves to pedal (actually ) he likes to pedal then riding his battery operated vehicles. The only thing is that he likes to get our gravel and dump it on the driveway so we have to clean this up but other than that it is great. I was really worried after reading some of the reviews that it would not hold up or be a piece of junk but it is just the opposite. It is wonderful

Eee gads! Are the other reviewers kidding me?
We bought this for our 3-year old after reading all the praises. I'll tell you what-- the hype, in my opinion, is ridiculous. Besdies null customer service from Peg Perego, here are my points:

> The instructions are absolutley the worst. Here's an example:
8) Remove the tape <---what tape???
9) Insert a retainer in the special device. <---What is a "special device"?? What retainer? No figures to help.
10) Insert the plugs in the handle bar <-- there are no plugs!

And it goes on and on like this. Even Toys 'R Us warned me about the instructions. I'm a pretty handy guy, so I was able to get it assembled (except for a stripped screw) in an hour. If you're not very handy or confident improvising, have Toys'RUs do it for you.

> Next, the hardware (such as screws) seem to be made of very soft metal. That means stripping during assembly and during use.

> Our boy is an aggressive digger (but not a rough kid). After one hour, the handle and retainer snap and wobble, and the steering wheel is stripped and wobbling.

This product is okay if your child is content just pedalling around, but try to pick anything up or use it like a tractor, and you'll find very quickly that most of the price of the unit does not seem to go into quality, but likely goes to John Deere for the licensing fee!

Ours goes back to Toys'R us.

Great outdoor toy, but beware of plastic parts!
This loader tractor was given as a Christmas gift to my son when he was 2 1/2. He has loved it to pieces! Back then we were stuggling to find a peddle toy that he could sit on the seat and reach the peddeles. The that summer he was 36" tall and it was easy for him to peddel. The chain drive allowed him to move at a good walking pace for his mother so that summer we put miles on this bike.
That being said, I must caution readers that this bike is all plastic except the chain drive and the screws that hold it together. The ROPS bar is for show. The fenders can not take weight. The loader is not for hauling heavy things.
We have had durablity problems with this toy. My son rides it hard but I'd say the problems stem from plastic-to-plastic connections having too much flex and eventutally the screw or bolt falls out. The seat keeps coming off. And ours has not been a loader tractor for quite sometime as the end clamp fell off that and we've not replaced it. Lastly the tires are plastic too. Our rear tires have holes in them because of hard use.
Finally, My brother said it was an adverture to assemble and he is very handy.

Overall, I recommed this tractor. Its not too offen you can say your child wore a toy out! All that peddeling, uphill and downhill over and arround has been quite a benifit, too.

A great toy for a boy
My 3-year old son is absolutely happy riding this tractor on the playground. I didn't install the loader for safety reasons / maneuverability (the playground is crowded, and it's hard to steer the tractor precisely with the loader attached). One strange feature of this tractor (which appears to be shared by other ride-on toys and carts for some unexplained reason) is that only ONE rear wheel is connected to the chain transmission. The other three wheels are free-spinning, so this is essentially a "one-wheel drive". Sales reps. at Toys R Us were clueless as to the strange design, so it remains a mystery. Nevertheless, the traction of the left rear wheel (the driving one) has so far been sufficient; no skidding. Pedal-drivennes of this tractor is one good feature I want to mention; besides giving the kid an exercise, it eliminates the pain of having to recharge the battery after a day's drive and wait for another day till the toy can be used again. ...

Big Fun, Huge Castle
I bought this for my 2-year-old son and he absolutely loves it. We bought the suggested pump for it ($9.99) and it was worth every penny, made set up a breeze. I wish I had known how big the castle was set up, as we planned on keeping it in our living room and soon found out it's way too big. So I will give you the demensions for the actual product 85"Lx76"Wx45"H. Hope this helps, if you've got the room, the kids will have a great and safe time jumping. We are strongly considering the box of 100 balls at this time because the 25 balls that are included are dwarfed in this giant castle.

COOL!
Our 22 month old grandson loves this and it only took him about 5 seconds to get truly into it.

Very difficult to blow up. Took a very long time with 9 chambers. Should include pump ... Read more

let's get ready to roll
I just bought this bike for my 2 1/2 yr old son as his little red trike got stolen. He was devistated until we found this at the store. He would not get off it and has been riding it around the house since. He quickly learned exactly what each button does and can mimmick them. He has learned that they should be pushed in a certain order, first turn on the bike, then decided what the weather is, find out where you are going, turn on the music, use your turn signal and get ready to rock and roll. It was a little difficult to put together, I am a single mom and I need someone with a little more muscle power to get some of the screws to go into the plastic but all in all easy to follow. Not sure if it will last as long as a metel trike but I know he will have just as much fun if not more. One word to the wise the noises it makes are LOUD! I really suggest this be an outside toy.

GREAT PURCHASE!
I added wood blocks to the pedals and my two year old is grasping the concept. He rode this bike through the house all winter and is really enjoying it now that he can ride outside. he has a ball with the blinkers so he is using his turning signals. My son is fasinated with motorcycles so any bike related item is sure to be a hit.

Great Bike!
I bought this for my 2 year-old grandson and he loves it. It assembled very easily and quickly. He loves to push the different buttons and listen to the variety of sounds. His feet don't quite reach the pedals yet, but he is still able to push himself around without his feet getting stuck or caught on the bike. The adjustable seat is a bonus too, because he won't outgrow it too fast. ... Read more

What a great playground!!!
I have a two year old and a three year old, both boys. They got this for Christmas and have played on it everyday since then. All the rounded corners and smooth plastic means no splinters. I would tell anyone with little ones that love to climb, this is the one to have! They love to crawl in the tunnel and slide on the slides!! I have to say, make sure you get BOTH boxes!!

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.

Small for the money, but fun
The instructions are very hard to read, with mostly dark colored pictures to go by. It takes two people to put it together and one must have strong muscles to lock the walls in place. Also, it seems much smaller sitting in the yard than it does on the picture, especially with the price of it. It is very colorful though and it has a great wavy slide.

Lots of fun for lots of kids!
This playground is just terrific! I have a two year old, almost five year old, and 6 year old and this is great fun for all of them (and the neighbors' kids, too!). I ordered mine through BJ's and so didn't have to pay shipping, which was great. (...). We have a Suburban and put the boxes on top, but shipping right to our front door would have been great, too. Assembly time says 60 min. but maybe that's true once you've done it several times! It took me about 1 3/4 hours to put together with some occasional assistance from a neighbor. The pieces just slide together and lock in place, though this takes a little muscle at times. I started with the pieces laying down and then stood the whole thing up once the first 4 sides were together, and turned it over another couple times as needed. I don't think it's particularly difficult to put together, just the pieces are large and cumbersome. Also, it's helpful to really study the pictures that come with the directions, and also to know that the numbered pieces go from 4 to 1 during assembly. The only major assembly problem I had was with the very last piece, the support to the large slide. The holes were drilled incorrectly on one side so the company is sending me another one. They were terrific when I called, I didn't even ask for another slide, I was going to ask if I could just drill another set of holes. I envision lots of playtime on this playground and I really wish I had gotten it a couple years ago! If your kids love to climb like mine do, I highly recommend this one!

2 Year Olds BEST FRIEND!!
Just purchase, received and put together this playground for our soon to be 2 yr. old (May 9th) and he is all over it. He even climbs on top of the tunnel! The only problem(s) we had were after reading the reviews, we couldn't find it in stores anywhere! (...)An 18 wheeler brought it which was pretty bad because he coulnd't turn around on our Road and he dropped the 2 HUGE boxes off at the end of our driveway! So, if you get it from these people, make sure they don't bring it by the Yellow Freight Trucking Co.! But other than that and trying to build it (at least 2 people and 2 hrs. you will need) - my kids and neighbor kids love it! My other son is 8 and he is able to fit through the tunnel which looked pretty small to me! The max. weight for this is: 100 lbs. each child and can hold 8 kids! This is well worth the money and we can see many years of fun with this as they don't play with anything else they have in or out of the house! I thought the price was pretty steep but the peace of mind is well worth it! Relax while they ENJOY!! ... Read more

Got Our Son Walking EARLY.
Love this.. got it as a gift and it was great. My son started pushing it around at about 8 months.. just a little at a time and by 10 1/2 months was walking on his own. He still loves this wagon, he puts his toys in it and then takes them out, and now he likes to climb into it (much to our dismay of course) Some of the reviewers said it wasn't great bc the wheels don't turn but a beginning walker doesn't need that really. This wagon is great bc it is heavy and really helps with balance, they will plow over anything in their way!

Sturdy little walker...
I wish we had gotten this little wagon/walker. We bought a plastic Fisher Price walker and my son obviously senses it's lack of mass. Our friends bring this Radio Flyer walker to the park and my son (11 months) pushes it around. Even though the wheels don't adjust, it's sturdy enough that he can put some weight on it without it flying out from under him. It's a winner.

High quality, but a little hard to maneuver
PROS:
- high-quality, sturdy construction
- wooden "sides" are removable, for more versatility
- great for learning walkers (wheels offer slight resistance)
- good for indoor or outdoor play
- little ones can sit in it, if one or two sides are removed
- easy to keep it moving in a straight line

CONS:
- a little hard to maneuver around turns (none of the wheels "turn" to the left or right) ... Read more
