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

So happy we bought this toy
We bought this climber for our daughters second birthday. It was recommended for 3-8, but the smaller climbers did not look like she would enjoy them. The assembly instructions were not great, but once we figured it out my husband was able to get it together pretty quickly and it did take 2 adults and some muscle. It was definitly worth it..our daughter took no time in figuring out how to get around on this...and is having so much fun! The design gives the child 3 different play areas. She is under the recommended age but has had no problem, and can even climb the cargo net. We plan to purchase more Little Tikes toys for the yard.

The slide isn't the best!
We looked at all of the different little tikes climbers and decided on this one....not so bad to put together and it's fun for the kids to climb on but the slide is too bumpy. It doesn't roll like on the wave climber it just has 2 big bumps. Any way my son is very rough and tumble and loves slides at the playground but doesn't care for this one. Too bad because it was our favorite out of all of them.

Easy to assemble and great fun!!!!!!!!!!!
I just bought this gym for my daughter's 2nd birthday and she loves it. It took maybe 15 minutes to put together, no problems with that and no WD-40 needed. All the kids at the party had a ball with on it, we took it apart and brought it home and reassembled it in her bedroom & it took about 5 minutes that time. Great toy, in fact some of parents at the party are considering buying this toy for their little ones.

Great fun
I bought this from a yard sale and it was not put together. All we had was 3 pictures of it that the previous owner had taken and NO instructions. Needless to say, come time for the birthday party, my husband and a friend had it up in about 45 minutes and the kids loved it. It is a LOT bigger than I expected and extremely hard to get the children off because it is so much fun.

Stronger than I expected!
The 'assembly' warnings are real. It does take 2 people to assemble it. You might also have a coarse circular rasp file handy to take off rough plastic edges and file-down some joint surfaces that are not assembling easily. Also a belt-clamp turned out handy to bring the first three pieces together @ the same time. Had to file down some of the holes for the net-ladder to fit into, but once we smoothed the edges, everything came together fine! Our daughter loves it. ... Read more

Good investment
I was skeptical because of the price, but my 2 1/2 year old and all of her same age friends spend a countless amount of time in here. They read, play with toys and I sometimes put a little table and chairs in for supervised snacks. I recommend this highly if you have the indoor room to spare. Folds and reshapes nicely.

Help!!!!!!!
My kids love this playhut. Not only do they use it to play "house," but we also take it camping with us. It has been very durable......but I CAN'T GET IT TO FOLD DOWN. I have tried the directions listed on this site, I have surfed all over the web(...). I still cannot get this thing to twist into 3 circles. I would say that this was still worth the money, and I would buy it again even if it doesn't fold down. (...)

Instructions on how to fold
This thing is the greatest. I bought this for my 18 month old girl. She absoultly loves it. Like everyone else said, it is quite large ~10' X ~5'. Although we have not used it outside yet, we will be. As for as folding it I wont lie, it took me almost 30 minutes to figure it out. Here's how I did it:

--Stand at the top of the house.
--Grab the Bottom of the house, one hand near (not at) each corner.
--Fold it down until shape resembles a "C".
--Continue until the top and the bottom almost touch each other.
--Now here the tricky part, slide your hands toward the middle and move the bottom metal rod inward toward the middle of the house.
--The sides will start to fold up and to the center.
--Once the the middle rod is in the center of the house.
--Grab the sides and fold them down one on top of the other.

Not for those with LOW IQ
Don't get me wrong. This place is huge... not for a small home. You need to have an entire room to dedicate this too. I actually bought it for my small yorkshire terrier dog to play in outside. But this is the kicker.... if you were one of those kids that bought a RUBIX CUBE, twisted it once and never got all the colors to match up again. Then this is EXACTLY like that. Pick something else. I am actually trying to return it right now, because it was just too big for us. However...I've been trying to twist and fold it back in the bag for 3 days now. After 30 minutes of trying ...I keep giving up. If I have to cut it in half to get in back in there I will. Basically my point is.... ONCE you set it up. Don't expect to ever take it down. It is fun though. Bigger than I ever imagined.

Great Fun
Our granddaughter loves this little house. We love it because you can put it away after she leaves. Biggest problem is that you can't get it back in the bag the same way it came out. I consider myself pretty intelligent but trying to fold this thing up is worse than a really bad day at work. But with all the hassle of folding it up I would still buy it again. ... Read more

Great Toy
I bought this for my one-year old tomorrow grandson and he loves it! It's much more stable for him than his other stand up walker, and he is able to get over the threshold dividers between rooms, which he couldn't do with his other walker. He has no problem scooping up the blocks on my hardwood floors - - just have to push further. He also thinks it's funny when he scoops up a cat toy instead of a block. Highly recommend this item, great value!

My son's favorite toy
We bought the hippo for our son when he was 6 months old. He is now a year and he still loves it. He pushes it all over the place. When he was first learning to stand/walk, this helped him. He was so proud of himself because he could walk with it's help. I am going to buy this for all of my friend's babies! Highly recommended.

OK....but better if picked up blocks
My son received this for his 1st Birthday...he liked the blocks more than the Hippo. It doesn't pick up the blocks on the wood floor. My 4 yr old tried it on the carpet...and he was only able to get it to pick up 1 block. It is OK, but after seeing it's lack of performance...I wouldn't buy it. The Wagon in this series is much more fun.

Excellent!
We just bought this for our son who will turn 9 months in just two days. He has been cruising the furniture for a few weeks already and as soon as I brought this out, he was taking his first steps forward (w/the help of the hippo) within five minutes. It was so cute to see him take those first awkward steps forward! :-> Also, I have to agree w/what another reviewer said about Fisher-Price making the best quality toys. In my younger days, I worked for a couple years in a toy store and the one thing I vowed after working there is that I would always buy Fisher-Price toys for my kids because the quality is so much better. We almost never got returns on Fisher-Price toys, but some of the return rates on other brands are as high as 75%! And, all the recall notices we would get for other brands are also scary! Really scary because most of the parents who buy those toys never realize there was a recall. Not saying that Fisher-Price is perfect, but they certainly are at another level when it comes to safety and quality. Now that we have a son, almost all his toys are Fisher-Price or LeapFrog and we have not had any problems w/those brands.

Great toy!
My son received this for his first birthday and loves it. My three year old also loves it and they fight over this a lot. It is very sturdy to push for beginner walkers and also fun to ride on. The only negative to this toy is that it doesn't pick up blocks very well on hard surfaces. It is best used on carpet for that reason but it is still fun without picking up the blocks. ... Read more

Great Toy!
This toy is great! We bought it for our daughters 3-year birthday and she absolutely loves it. It's a great outdoor toy, well worth the money.

My Son loves this toy!
My son recieved this toy for Christmas and plays with it all the time. I like how there is an adjustable feature where he can grow with it. My son's eye hand coordination has also improved so much since recieving this toy. I highly recommend this toy!!!!!

A time honored tradition
Any child will have fun with this. Both my son and daughter can't get enough. And since the ball is stationary and the stand is height adjustable, children can actually hit the ball, thus building their self-esteem and confidence. Such a modest price for loads of fun. And educational? I think so. The rate in child obesity is higher than it's ever been (thanks to all those video and computer games). This teaches children from early on that fitness doesn't have to be chore- it can be really fun!

geat toy!!!
My son absolutely loves this t-ball set. It is very durable and can be beat to death. He has improved greatly on his hand eye coordination. We bought this for him when he was 15 months old and he has been playing with it ever since. It is easily stored too. I definately recommend!

love it!!!!
our son is 18 months and loves his new t-ball set... he is able to put the ball on the tee and swing the bat. Great for children 18 month or older ... Read more

Great Buy!!
Bought this on sale at Target for $79.00. Saw other bike trailers at bicycle stores for around $300. Easy to assemble, and easy to use. If you are a recreational rider, don't buy a more expensive one, as this model is all you need. My 2 year old daughter loves the ride, and now doesn't feel left out when I take her older brother bike riding.

Quick N Easy 100%
I love this bike trailer!!. I purchased it on sale for $69.00 and I will tell you that is a great price!!! This bike trailer took me less than 5 minutes to put together. It is not flimsy or cheaply made. It is very durable. Brightly colored and well designed. It folds to compact and the wheels pop off at a click of a latch. You don't have to work at it to get the trailer to compact. A++++ Worth every dollar even at full price.

Excellent Buy!
My dh and I have been researching the different types and brands of infant/toddler bike trailers out there for several months. All along I kept looking at this Instep Quick 'n EZ trailer and thinking it was the best out there. Not only did I find it to constantly receive high marks on quality, but I also found it to be quite inexpensive. Not cheap and shotty, just not nearly as expensive as some of the other makes and models. After all our research, we decided on this trailer, and so my dd received it for her 1st birthday a couple of weeks ago. And let me tell you, we have NOT been disappointed with our choice. The trailer is very well made, extremely easy to put together/take apart, a cinch to attach, and even easier to pull. There is plenty of room in the trailer for us to stash our daughter's bottles, a diaper and wipes (incase she needs a change), and couple of toys for her to play with along the way. The 5pt harness is a breeze to work and leaves no question as to weather baby is in securely or not. This is definately a great trailer to own!! We give it 2 Thumbs Up and 5 stars across the board! :D

Quality and value
Although I didn't find this on sale it is still a good deal for regular price. Set up is an absolute breeze. Even attaching the coupler to my bike, after some muscle from hubby to get the nut off, was simple and quick. I feel very confident of the hitch as I ride and the kids are secure in the harness. It folds easily and the wheels detach simply to fit in the cargo space of our mid-size SUV. I'm a recreational/fitness biker and use this on very nice paved trails not off-road so I can't comment on bumps or dirt.

It gets a 4 rather than a 5 only on some comfort issues. The web straps would be better if padded. I have to watch the crotch strap on my 20 month-old or it can ride up and cut into her leg, particularly if she has a big wet diaper. Same with my 4 year old with the shoulder strap and his neck. I'll figure something out though. Also if it is going to be made to hold up to 100 pounds it really could be just a couple of inches wider to give room to bigger kids. Two kids are sort of smushed. The sling seats also could be made to recline. I had a jogging stoller with that feature. Lastly, since I live in FL, I would prefer a longer hood or some sort of brim for more shade.

Having complained, I WOULD STILL RECOMMEND HIGHLY for quality and value and fun. The kids do enjoy it despite my nit-picking!

Great for the money
My 10 month old son loves this trailer. It is very light and was very easy even for me to put together. The only problem we find is that the rear tire of the bike throws up rocks and dirt through the netting. Gets kinda dirty in there!! Otherwise a great buy though. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Just about every child loves to dribble and shoot basketballs, but not every household with children has the right space for a court. This freestanding basketball hoop might be an ideal solution. Since the height of the hoop can be adjusted according to your child's height and skill level (the hoop goes as low as 42 inches and as high as 5 feet), this is a great investment for children as young as 3 years old. The large backboard (22 by 28 inches) helps keep the ball in play. You can make its heavy-plastic stand even more stable by filling the hollow base with sand or water. Wheels on the bottom make it especially portable. --Gail Hudson ... Read more

It a family toy for everyone
AS soon as the boxes got to my house my wanted me to open right away. They played for hours. His family got together at our house and my sister-in law was playing her son who is 10 year old was out the girl next door. It was a crowd pleaser. Everyone had so much fun even my husband who is big on basketball. You also can bring it in the house in the winter as long as you keep under 5 feet. If you have anyone in the house who love sport this the perfect toys . the biggest thing I like about it is that is mobile. I have a three years old and four old and just love it.

THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED!!!
I have had this product for some time now and have called Fisher Price three times to have the rim replaced. They won't replace the rim anymore and have asked for me to ship the unit back to them to examine. IF any weight ie. tugging on the rim (or trying to emulate their NBA role models by hanging from it) or using a heavier ball, the rim will drop down because at the back of the rim the plastic is thin and crushes like an aluminum can. When the rim drops more than 45 degrees, the rim falls on the child and the heavy backboard then falls down like a guillotine on any child near it. Very unsafe in my opinion. I am going to see what other brands look like and I'm retiring this one.

What's NOT to like?!?!
I can't believe anyone would complain about this product!!! It is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! The wheels let us move it all around, it easily adjusts to whatever height my son decides he wants it at (depending on whether he wants to shoot or dunk) and it has already lasted for 2 1/2 years and looks brand new. We're debating about buying a second one for outdoors so that we can keep the current one in his room! It is his favorite toy...

Its pretty good...
I found this toy very hard to adjust to varying heights. We ended up leaving it at just one height, which kind of defeated the "grow to pro" aspect. It certainly did hold up well and it had a place to set two basketballs, which we also liked. Adjustment was odd and awkward.

Built So Well I needed a HAMMER
My wife and I just purchased this for our son for Easter. He loves it. "BASKETBALL FUN!" That's his exact words and he's only 2.

I'm sure as my son gets older the educational value will increase to build teamwork and basic skills.

It's so well built I needed a Hammer. On their scale it should have a scale to rate how hard it was to put together. My wife and I put most of it together with in a couple minutes. The problem started when we put the first section of plastic in the front section. Well after we reviewed the situation I thought it would be better to put it in the rear position. My wife and I wrestled with that thing for 15 minutes until I said, "GET THE HAMMER!" I pounded on that thing until it came undone. I was heated. Anyway it's all worth our sons enjoyment. Just make sure you put the post in the position your sure you want it. :) ... Read more

Editorial Review

Hey, even Michael Jordan was a toddler once. And just think of how many more millions he might have made if he had practiced on a hoop-and-ball set like this one when he was a height-challenged hoopster. With the Easy Score Basketball set those impromptu dunking clinics will be challenging, but no longer impossible. Future MJs can now practice their skills with ease, because the Easy Score adjusts to height, has a size-appropriate hoop, and is made of durable plastic. The over-size rim (1 foot across, with a nylon hoop) can be set anywhere, as it only rises from 2.5 to 4 feet high, putting lay-ups and treys just within reach. A sturdy 15-by-19-inch base keeps the basket from tipping; this is important for young hoopsters who get a little too exuberant. The set comes with a tot-sized (6-inch-wide) rubber b-ball.--Paul Hughes ... Read more

Darn good toy, my 20m old girl LOVES it!
This basketball set is great. As long as you attach the rim according to instructions and fill the base w/sand (use a wide mouth funnel), it will not come apart or tip over easily. My 20m old girl uses it almost every day, many times twice a day. Her 8 yr., 5 yr. and 2 yr. old cousins also love it. People who have had problems with the rim coming off did not attach it properly and those that tip over did not put sand in the base. It would be a good idea to buy a couple of extra same size balls and a small hand pump for them, especially if more than one child uses it at a time.

Great toy.
We bought this for our 22 mo old son for christmas. He loves to play ball...any kind. An even younger child, like 18 month would be a good intro for this toy also. He really likes this. I think it will endure his roughness. It was easy to put together. Santa appreciated that. Enjoy.

We Keep this in the Family Room!
I highly recommend this toy! I purchased this when my son was about 15 months old, and it still looks brand new even though we use it just about every day. We keep it in the house in the family room, and on rainy days when we can't get outside, it makes a wonderful physical activity. Every child who comes in this house can't resist playing with it! My nieces have enjoyed this as much as my two boys. My husband certainly has enjoyed it too. . .

Excellent Toy
My toddler loves this. Very durable, but must make sure the rim snaps into place.

Super fun for my son!
This toy requires no tools for set up. I was able to set it up in less than 5 minutes. My 2 year old son loves it. I like the fact that you can adjust the height. I put this in the front yard of my home and all the toddlers in the neighbor play with it. It seems to be very durable. Had it for about one month now and it's still holding up. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Your child will love it. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The parachute gambit is a teacher's secret weapon--a tried-and-true way to annihilate the afternoon blahs. At approximately 9 feet in diameter, with handles all the way around for little (or big) hands to grab, this sunny Playchute Parachute is just smaller than the classroom standard. Fling it into the air and watch it drift down. Run underneath it and watch the colors rain down. Throw a few stuffed animals in the center and bounce them around. Simple, satisfying thrills, and worth every penny. --Claire Dederer ... Read more

Play Can Be Educational
I bought this parachute to take to Ecuador, South America with me to use in the Elementary school. I found it to be a huge help witht the language barrier and the children had a blast. I left it at the school when I came back to the states and I plan on purchasing another one for my own classroom. This is such a great investment!

Dimensions
I bought this parachute despite not being sure of it's dimensions. The description did state it is about 9 feet but others I had found on-line (10 or 12 feet) seemed much more expensive so I expected something smaller. Anyway, I just received it today and I am quite excited. The parachute is actually 10 feet in diameter and has 12 handles. So it is much larger than I had originally expected. This is a great deal and I can't wait for my kids to wake up from their naps so we can play!

Great Value
I bought this as a party game for my daughter's 4th birthday. The nice thing was that she got to use it over & over again after the party. The kids loved it!!!! Her 2 year old sister asks to play with it all the time. We drap it over the table and they play under it and they even love just sitting on it outside. It was played with all summer long and now that winter is here it's coming back inside. It was well worth the price. I was actually suprised how durable and large it was. One of the best toys I've bought!!

A Blast from My Past
I remember playing with the large parachute when I was in grade school in PE. The entire class had such a good time!

I purchased this for my 5 year old godson and his 3 year old sister for Christmas. Now, it's not as much fun with just the two of them, but when the neighbor kids come over, their mom brings it out. That's when the fun begins. It's amazing how long a piece of material can keep a group of kids entertained!

So much Fun
We have this car for my Grandson who is 1 yr old. He has so much fun with it, we have a hard time getting him to get off. He learned how to make it move very quickly. The wheels could be alittle more heavy duty for driving in the grass and on gravel.
I think the size of the car is more suited for 1 to a small 2 year old. 3 year olds would be to big to sit in the seat, unless they are unually small for their age.

son loves but read before buying
My son and I absolutely love this car.He was so excited when he first got into it (he's 1).There are only two problems with it though- there is no on/off switch, so even when he's not in it he can press the button and make it go.Well that's not good because he rolled over his feet once and the second time he was leaning against it and pressed the button and it dragged him and caused him to fall.The other thing also is that the sides aren't high enough so he sticks his feet out of the sides.Also, if your child is tall (mine is 31 inches) they may not fit comfortable in the car.

My Son Loves This Car!!
My son cruised around wal mart for about an hour in the tot rod before I actually decided to buy it for him for his birthday. He just turned 1 and absolutely loves it! I have to pry him out of it. He's the envy of all the neighborhood kids!!

Little Tikes Playcenter is great.
After carefully researching various playground alternatives for our 3 year old, we decided on the Little Tikes Playcenter. We were not disappointed - the high quality is just what you would expect from Little Tikes. It successfully bridges the gap between your standard home improvement center-style wood sets and the more industrial playground models. When compared to building a wood set, the cost is not that much higher and there are many benefits - ease of construction (it took us 4-5 hours), it is much safer (no splinters!) and there should be resale value for the item years down the road. The only downsides - shipping took almost 2 weeks versus the week that the website mentions and wish this could be bought in the store to save on shipping. Time will tell when it comes to possible fading, but currently the colors are rich and vibrant. My son really loves this set.

Not happy
I have always been a HUGE Little Tikes fan until this purchase. I have the Little Tikes Playground and the Playground Playcenter doesn't even compare in durability. I also have many other Little Tikes items. I always believed the name Little Tikes stood for quality.
On my Playground Playcenter, the plastic is very thin and has holes/perforations in the seams of the molding. The base is hollow with the 'bottom' out of it. The platform 'gives' when a child walks on it. The sandbox cover is out of shape, flimsy, and thin also. (It collapsed when my two year old granddaughter climbed on top of it.) I also don't feel that the 'legs' for the swing area are sturdy enough.
The teete-totter, swings, and slide are up to standard for Little Tikes.
I had to order this item on line, due to no one carrying it in the stores. I didn't get to SEE it before I ordered it. It was delivered directly to my home.
I feel that this item is way over-priced. Too much money for all the more your getting. I don't mind paying for quality, but in my opinion this item is NOT quality. Definitely not Little Tikes quality.
I would return it if it wasn't for trying to explain to my grandchildren 'why' we didn't keep it - esp. when they waited for several weeks for it to come. I don't look for it to last long, unlike my other Little Tikes items.
Remember, this is MY opinion - concerning MY experience with MY item.

Very Disapointed!
We purched this set for my 2yr old son and I am very disapointed. We chose this set because we plan on moving in the next yr and wanted one that we could bring with us or re-sell when we move. The set up time was abut 3 1/2 hours with my husband and I together, it was pretty easy, clear directions, all the parts were here, and it helps that my husbands VERY handy!
The poblems I have had are with the sandbox, the lid leaks when it rains and the sand takes forever to dry since its covered by the playhouse. I have called little tikes and they have offered to send me a new lid but I know there is nothing wrong w/ the one I have.
-The bamboo on the climbing net has also started to crack (not causing any problems now but I dont see it lasting too long in the outdoor elements) Little tikes has also offered a replacement.
-The floor of the fort is not sturdy at all.
-The swings are definitly too close together for two kids to swing at the same time.
-The screw covers also keep popping open or come off all together.
-We have changed one of the swings to a little tikes toddler swing and its way too low to the ground. Im afraid to adjust the ropes on the swing since it swings crooked to begin with.
-My son loves climbing the rope net and playing with the steering wheel, and he does swing on it every day, but the sandbox is a major disapoinment and he doesnt understand that its wet so he still wants to get in and its like mud! (I bought him the little tikes sand and water box and have transferred most of the sand to this and he loves this!
I would suggest to shop around and maybe look into the one from Step2 I have heard good things about it and it can come wih a pool and its cheaper! I wish I had!
This set will definitly being put up for auction on Ebay next spring!

My daughter LOVES it - lots of summer fun!!
We bought this for my daughter, 2 1/2 years old, because it seemed to have a lot to offer- a sandbox, swings, cargo net, etc. Also, we wanted to stay away from wood due to splinters and rot. My husband and 2 incredible neighbors put this up in about 4 hours. It wasn't easy, but it was not as difficult as some of the other reviews state. The instructions were fairly clear and all the parts were there. My daughter LOVES this and the neighbor kids come play on it too. It is super durable, though portions of it I expected to be solid 'little tykes style' plastic and they turned out to be a bit flimsy... pressed and shaped but not solid. This will last her for a while, since she still needs a little help on it now. Overall, I recommend this if you don't want metal or wood sets. It is a great entertainer for any kid 3-8.

great durable playset
We bought this playset for our children (ages 4 and 2) - so far it has been a great buy - it was pretty easy to put together - you will need at least two people - it is not so high off of the ground that i even feel comfortable with my 2 year old climbing it, yet it is challenging enough for my 4 year old - it easily holds 3-4 small children - the sandbox is terrific and the climbing rope is durable enough for a 4-6 year old to climb - it took about 2 half days to put it together - this is a great product! ...

My Grandson Loves it!
My 15 month old grandson simply loves this toy. And though he doesn't "squeal" with the ride...he always insists on riding until the battery is very low!! I beleive he could ride it all day! Great toy...but it does take up quite a bit of space.

roller coaster
I got this for my 8 1/2 month old son, ,, he loves this, this is one of the few things that can hold his attention for more than 2 minutes and he crys to get in it...

Very disappointed. What a dull toy
You need to push a button near the bar in front in order to play the music. Keep in mind you must push it while the ride is going. Quite annoying. My 10 month old is just bored by it. From the start, he would just stare at me as it went in a circle and yawn. It was so "thrilling" that he fell asleep on it twice. Other children in the neighborhood (from 7 months to 2 years) have ridden it and also not liked it at all. To be blunt, I could not even give it away. For people interested in buying it, I would suggest waiting and getting the Perego train.

My son LOVES it!
My parents bought this for my 10 month old son for his upcoming birthday and of course, we couldn't wait to open it already... He loves it dearly... He loves ride-on toys and this is the best one of his little collection. He likes to go up and down the track and even waves "bye-bye" as he goes by. It was very easy for my husband to put it together... we couldn't wait to see him on it! Note: you do have to charge the battery for a minimum of 18 hours beforehand. Too bad they didn't have this toy at the store, so we ordered it online, which took a while. But I'm really glad that we got it, well worth it.

Music in Motion Roller Coaster
I bought this for my triplets when they were 10 months old. They all enjoy it so much. They are now 2 years old.They keep asking for the "car". Although, it is hard for them to share, they do get 5-10 min. increments on the "car". We keep it in a separate room, so they won't try to start it up when another is in the way. I think it is an excellant toy and one I would sincerely encourage parents to buy it for fun and entertainment. Not to mention they learn at about 1 1/2 years to operate it themselves.

The SUV of wagons, the Radio Flyer Discovery Wagon--in traditional redwith the familiar Radio Flyer logo on each side--features everything thatexplorative, toy-hauling kids need for getting around in style. The 8-inchdiameter, solid rubber wheels support a durable, 3-foot-long plastic wagon thatcan tote up to two small kids--or a full load of beach or yard toys--inside itsroomy coach. There's even enough space for the neighbors' kids to toss theirgear. An oversize 34-inch handle makes the massive wagon easy to direct in astraight path or around corners. --Diane Beall ...

!!!!!!TOY OF THE YEAR FOR OUR HOUSE!!!!!!!
I had shopped for a wagon and done all my home on every single one out there. I really wanted one that would fit my three girls 2, 4, and 5. Discovery Wagon by Radio Flyer is great. It has the no-tilt steering, and the storage compartment that fits anything you need. The removable sides are great for my young girls for easy in and out. I am a very picky shopper but this wagon is everything and more. Fits in my van with no problem. Removable sides make it so easy to tuck it away. We use this wagon for zoos, walks to the park, carnivals, or just for the kids to play around with. I highly recomend this wagon as Radio Flyer has a great reputation.

Great Wagon!!!
This is a really great wagon. We shopped around quite a bit before buying and this was our favorite! It is much quieter than the ones with plastic wheels and is easy to steer both on pavement and the grass. I would highly recommend this one.

Most expensive Plastic I¿ve ever bought
I bought this after reading many good reviews by customers (last time I listen to them). It is a very attractive looking wagon, easy to put together. However I was quite disappointed by the construction. The moving parts are made of either by plastic to plastic or plastic to metal contacts. Therefore, these parts will wear out fast. It is a good wagon, not worth [the price]. (...)

What a bargain!
I purchased this wagon as a Christmas (2003)gift for my then 15 month old granddaughter. We filled it with toys and put it under the tree for her. It was the best thing I ever bought for her - worth ever penny. She has enjoyed it so much. Now that spring is here we have enjoyed our outdoor time as well. She loves being pulled in it or climbing in and out and pulling it herself. We live at the beach so I can see it is going to come in very handy this summer. I would HIGHLY recommend this product. I can already see that it will be used for years to come.

check the size dimensions first
One thing you should keep in mind before buying a wagon like this one is the dimensions. It's huge, basically as large as a whole bath tub.

It maybe isn't the best size for pulling around a baby under a year old, and of course it isn't small enough for a baby to push around him or herself after learning to walk. It really is meant for carting around toddlers only. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This classic is still spinnin' after all these years--and now it's better than ever. The Sit 'n Spin we all know and love has been spruced up for the new millennium with flashing lights and fun tunes. Just press any of the four buttons on the handle, and you're spinning to one of six classic tunes. Sure, it may be a little snazzier than you remember (thanks to the new colors), but the goal remains the same: hours of dizzying enjoyment. Your kids will love taking this whirling wonder for a spin just as much as you'll enjoy watching them. Requires three AA batteries and a Phillips screwdriver for assembly (not included). --Melissa Wilson ... Read more

I think this toy is a bunch of crap & false advertisement
My son received this toy the other day on his 2nd birthday. I think I was more excited than he was about receiving it. I had always wanted to get him one, but never got around to it. All I can say is I'm glad I didn't waste my own money on this. What really gets me is that it says from 18 months to 5 years old. Yeah...RIIIIIIIIIGHT. There's no 18 month old that can understand the concept of how to turn this thing. It took me awhile to figure out why the wheel wasn't turning. Come to find out, it's like the teacup rides at Disney World. The wheel doesn't turn, everything else turns around it. Well I wish they had said that on the box rather than "Turn the wheel to start the spinning action". What a load of crap. Also, like I said, my son just turned 2. He's a big 2, but he's no bigger than a 4 or 5 year old. So there's no way that a 4 or 5 year old can get on this comfortably. I have to agree, the music IS annoying especially cause I had to disassemble it to get the music to stop. It really upsets me that I have to take this back to the store because I was so excited for my son when he opened his gift. This is definitely a toy that I would avoid buying if your kid is less than 2 & a half years old or over 4 years old. Oh wow, I guess then it would really only be good for 3 YEAR OLDS!!! WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY...PLEASE.<br /> <br /> P.S. I only gave it one star because it wouldn't let me give it negative stars.

Still fun after all these years!
Sit N' Spin is still a great toy! Durable, easy to clean, and fun for a wide range of ages. My daughter got this as a gift at age 4 or 5, and she still plays with it at age 6. Yes, the "rockin' tunes" are annoying for parents (my husband HATES the music), but we solved this by making Sit N' Spin "basement or outside only" toy. Ours has even survived getting wet on the light panel.

fun toy, annoying noise
Our 23-month-old daughter got hers. As a number of reviewers noted, the music is loud and annoying and does not come with an off switch (though it'll turn off after a while, and one can just not press the top of the Sit 'n Spin which turns it on, but the child of course WILL press it). She didn't seem to like the music either--she asked me to take the batteries out. But I found a nice arrangement: I cut one of the wires leading to the speaker (they're easy to see when you open up the battery compartment) and now it has flashing lights, which she likes, and no noisy music, which everybody dislikes. (Why they couldn't put a in slider switch for it, I don't know--it would probably add two cents to production costs.) A bonus is that I assume that with the speaker wires the 3 AA batteries will last for a long time--four red LEDs don't take much power!

Anyway, it took her a bit of time to get the hang of spinning herself, and she does like it. She's not utterly enthusiastic, but it clearly IS fun and looks good for motor development. And today she was entertaining her toy puma with it, so it looks like she can use it for imaginative play, too.

All in all, decent but not outstanding. It probably all depends on the child's interests.

It's an okay toy.
I bought the rockin' tunes sit and spin for my son and he loves. He was 17 months old when he got it and it took about 2 weeks for him to figure it out. He's now almost two and this is still one of his favorite toys and he plays with almost everyday. He loves to push the top to make the music and lights come on. I do not like this toy much myself. Amazon describes it as playing 9 different songs but it only plays 6. The songs it does play are not any of the ones in the description. The music is very loud and annoying after a while. I think Amazon put the same description from the classic sit and spin on this one. (...)

Love it!!
I purchased this for my 23 mo. old girl for her "new room", and this is her favorite toy she has EVER had! She spins by herself for a bit, then she wants me to spin her so she can go a little faster. When she edges off to the floor, she giggles and says "more". It's usually the first thing she runs to in her room. It's also fun for my 5 yr old boy to spin on. Another game with it is to put dolls and animals on it and spin them (not very fast) to see who stays on the longest. I don't think my little girl cares about the lights and maybe even the music right now. She just likes to go, go, go. It does seem a little easy to tip. Give ample clearance from the wall. Good price for spinning fun. ... Read more

Caleb loves it
My son (3 yo) has had this for about 8 months now and still loves it. Whenever his friends come over to play, they all inevitably end up inside the toy and take other toys in to play with. It is fairly durable and has been fought over and pulled from room to room many times. If your child loves Thomas, this is a good (if fairly large) toy to have.

Kids LOVE it!
I have not had the bad experience as the customers below. My son got it a year ago when he turned 3 and my daughter was 1 and they both love it. So does the kids that come over to play. Now a year later and they still love it, also it's still in great shape. I am now getting it for a friends son. I find that it's easy to fold up, although the kids don't leave it like that very long.

This tent is AWESOME!!!
My husband and I ordered this for my daughter's 2nd birthday. Let's just say she doesn't come out of it much. She Loves It!!! It is so cute and worth every penny. She has gotten so many hours of enjoyment out of it. She likes to take her books and her Thomas trains in there as well. If your child loves Thomas, they will love the tent.

HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED
I bought this for my 14-month old because he likes to crawl under tables, chairs, etc. I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened it - what a piece of GARBAGE!!! It is made of some paper-like product (like a Bounty paper towel) and it smells horrible. My son had ink all over his fingers after playing in it for just a few minutes. I am definitely returning this item. How annoying that the material of this product is nowhere to be found on the box or in the online description.

confusing
My 2 year old son got this for a gift, he loves it, but it falls over very easliy, and I spent half the time standing it back up, also the directions on how to fold it and put it back in the bag are not very clear, ... Read more
