Easy Store Junior Table in Yellow & Teal by Little Tikes

Compact convenience

Avantages:

* This exceptional little picnic table is perfect a child.

* It folds and stores so Moms and Dads can actually put their house in order for company.

* It fits into the trunk of my Nissan Sentra (1997 version), and is not heavy to lift.

* It is stable because the weight is distributed.

* It can be set up in a park so that your little munchkins can draw, color, or paint.

* It is small enough to be completely covered by a piece of butcher paper -- and the kids really love coloring everywhere on that!

* Since the unit is one piece, you don't have to bother with chairs that take up space and are easily dragged from one place to another by a toddler who wants to climb up everywhere.

* As far as size -- it takes very little space even when left in the opened position. Mine is in the dining room; a fairly small area; and there is still have room for company.

* Children are drawn to "just my size" toys.

Drawbacks:

* After many crayon marks the top is marked permanently.

* This "feature" create an intrinsic value though. Nothing compares to a sentimental memory when "my child colored there. "

* My hands are tender and weak, so I had a very hard time folding and unfolding the table. There are small notches on the bottom of the table that must be locked into place to keep it steady and safe. I always find help from someone who is stronger to put the plastic locks in place.

5 stars -- children love their own table.

5 stars -- it is a safe place to help expand a child's imagination and creativity.

5 more stars -- portable convenience.

This single unit picnic table serves many purposes, and I would not be without it. It is a bargain at any price.

I bought this table based on the positive reviews it received and its very reasonable price. I am so pleased with it. It folds into a very flat space, and it takes a little muscle to pop the latches into place when unfolding--but that it what makes it so safe, sturdy and durable. The table is a PERFECT size for babies ready to leave the high chair. The attached bench seat prevents falls. The letter prior complaining of the lack of durability needs to realize this table is not made for 40 lb children to use as a trampoline, rather for young toddlers to eat, do activities, and climb on. It's only a ... table, and very, very well worth it. Best of all, my daughter LOVES this table!! Because of this the table earns a 4 star educational rating--she uses it enthusiastically for her educational activities, and to learn how to behave at her own little dinner table.

This is probably one of the best purchases made for my one year old daughter. She has snacks, colors, and plays with small toys on this table. The best thing about this table is that the benches are attached. This prevents her from tumbling over in a chair. This table is a good height for young children. My daughter has survived many falls from the benches as well as the top of this table, many without a tear shed. This is the sturdiest table around it has stood up to my daughters newest hobby of climbing and bouncing on everything. The color of this table is good too, it matches my new "Little Tikes" decor.

After reading some of the reviews and much thought, I bought this table. It's great. My 18 month old loves it. It's low enough to the ground that I don't worry too much about falls. Also, since the bench seats are attached I think it's safer than a table with chairs if your little one is a climber (like mine). It's small enough that it can be moved easily and fits most anywhere. My little boy likes to "picnic" at it, and he eats much better at the table than in his high chair. It says it seats 4, but I think that would be crowded-- get the bigger one if you need seating for 4. Worth every penny.

I bought this table for my 18 month old son. Because the seats are set too close to the table top, when children try to stand up they cannot straighten their legs which forces them to sit/fall back down. The bench seat is too narrow which caused my son to go over backwards and hit his head on the ground. I noticed this problem when I purchased the table but thought maybe on grass or under constant supervision it would be ok. Because of the lightweight nature and the seat/table configuration children are also able to fall back and pull the table over with them. Table top also moves somewhat although this probably wouldn't be a big problem if the rest was Ok. We used it twice and then returned. Great idea and great storage but the potential injury isn't worth it. Also, I don't think this would fit any child over 2, and definately not to age 5.

It is just the right size for our breakfast area. During the summer it is out on the deck but in winter, we brought it in and our daughter prefers this to her booster chair. It gives her a lot of freedom in getting on and off the bench rather than climbing onto her booster chair perched way up high. Not too obtrusive, and has nice colors too. Not too bold. Easy to clean, ans very sturdy. We just love it.

The table itself fits great in the kitchen but it has proven to be very difficult to open and fold properly, leaving it unstable. My children, 1 weighing 40 pounds and 1 weighing 26 pounds have used this for only a few weeks for their snacks, not for climbing on, and yet the support for the seat has cracked in 2 places. Wish it was easier to use and more durable, will be replacing it with a different product.

My daughter got this table for Christmas. I thought it was going to be great for her. We had limited space and I liked the idea of her having a table her size. Well I was wrong, during Playdates I could only fit 2 children at the table. Several times the children fell back and hit their heads or they would trip. The worse part is that it was hard to keep anything on the table. The top angles down and the drinks would slide right off. bad table and bad investment.

I am writing this review because I want make sure that you understand that this table is not comfortable for an average sized toddler. My daughter weighs just about 30 pounds and this table was uncomfortably small for her. It's a cute table and it seems a reasonable purchase to keep from having to buy the large one, but it is quite small. My daughter was able to fit her legs underneath, but when she tried to move, she almost fell. There was no room for movement. I bought the larger picnic table and am quite pleased with it. My daughter has plenty of room to grow and it's a great starter tablewhere she can both eat and draw. My other suggestion...go to Toys R Us (which is what I did) to try out both.

We bought our then 10 month old daughter this table for crayoning and other activities, she adores this table. She is now 19 months and stil plays with this table that grows with her. It is very sturdy and folds up semi-easily, not that we can put it away. Now when she has her little friends over to play they sit at her table and play. This table will be around for a while because it is able to grow with the child. Hop this review was helpful in making your decision.
