This teeter totter looks cool and unique, and seemed like a good deal at the time. I wish I had gotten something different thought. I have a 6 year old, 3 year old and 2 year old. They never play with it for more than a second or two. It's hard to keep it upright and go up and down as it is kind of heavy for the littler guys. Even my 6 yhear old has a hard time on it with his friends.

Assembly on this thing is a PAIN! I agree with the previous review about having to watch the video and the swearing etc. I did it by myself and it started off great, but about halfway through I just got stuck. Let's just say this toy has not been worth the headache.

Not recommended.

toy took more time than expected to assemble. kids do not use the toy very often. smaller child falls off.

I thought this would make a fun outdoor toy and that the kids would get a kick out of the new spin on the classic teeter totter. My daughter and her friends liked playing on it, but I am not sure it was worth the 2 hours it took to put it together. Two hours, lots of sweat and swearing. Oh it took two people too. We even had to watch the video instructions that can be found on the Little Tikes website.

It's a fun teeter totter, good luck on the assembly.

I have two three-year-old granddaughters who will get on the teeter ball for a few seconds and they are done. Maybe they are too young but it doesn't seem suited for lighter-weight children either.

We bought this as a Christmas gift for our two grandsons, both age 2. Fortunately, we decided to put it together a couple of weeks ago when it first came. Good, thing, because it arrived without the screws and stickers, so we contacted Little Tikes and they shipped the missing parts right away. They were very nice about it. We have now watched the online instructional video several times, pausing and rewinding as needed to put the thing together. We've put about three hours into it so far - really glad we did not wait until Christmas morning!! Grandpa is so aggravated, it may not make it under the tree because he may toss the thing into the trash can first!!!

I purchased this for my preschool classroom. It looked like a great toy that could be used indoors when the weather was not the best outside. Assembly was easy until I got to the ring. After getting two helpers and some industrial C clamps, we finally got the yellow ring on and tightened! My students love it, but the seats don't seem to be very durable. They are all well under the 60 lb. per side limit yet the seats are bending almost to the point of breaking. Not sure I'll get my money's worth out of this purchase.

The kids like this toy, but we couldn't assemble it according to the instructions. We ended up just drilling holes to affix the ball to the base because nobody could get the yellow ring on properly, not even the professional assemblers at the store where we purchased it! Very cute idea, but flawed design.

We have tried more than a dozen times to assemble the ball to the rings and main body... We have not been able to do it!!! ...We watched the video to ensure we were doing it right. No luck! The ball is thicker and larger than the diameter of the main body and thickness of the rings... Terrible engineering!!!

I purchased this after seeing it mentioned in a magazine and looked like tons of fun. I then got home and read the reviews and second guessed my purchase. This Teeter Ball wasn't that hard to put together, there is a video to watch on the Little Tikes website that makes it even easier. My husband had it together in less than an hour. So far my kids LOVE IT! I can see lots of fun in our future.

My only complaint is with the plastic screws that hold the top on the center, several of them stripped when we were trying to put them in.

Great toy and just follow the directions when assembling - it wasn't that hard!
