I just bought this for my one year old daughter and she loves it! I was looking to get her a toy that would help her burn off some extra energy and I thought this would definately help.

My husband and I put it together in about 20 minutes, it really wasnt very hard. If you have bought a lot of furniture from Ikea then you know have an idea how to build something.

The slide is a great length for a beginner, short enough so they can build their confidence but has enough zip in it to be fun.

I was pleasantly surprised by the swing, I had read so many bad reviews that I thought once I put her in it we would have to take it back. My daughter measured in the 70% for height at her last checkup and she still has plenty of room to grow both in the seat and before her feet touch the ground.

This is a great toy for a beginner. The swing is not intended to send them to the moon, thats for later. This will help instill confidence, coordination and help their imaginations soar with the lookout post at the top.

MY daughter loves the slide on this toy...but when i bought it i didnt realize it has a small climber instead of steps..she has a hard time climbing it herself, and falls often. She is 12 months old..the toy says 1 year to 4 years, but i would not buy this toy for a young toddler.

Our two year old weighs about 25 pounds and is about 36 inches tall. This toy was perfect for him. He loves every aspect of it. Most children are afraid at first to go down the big playground slides because they are too long. For a toddler this length is great because it is in a way a "training" slide. It prepares the child for the longer slide but still gives them the thrill of going down a slide plus it gives them confidence and ownership of their abilities. Right now our son wants indepence more than anything and this toy gives him the chance to be independent and we don't have to hold his hand to do that. With the swing his feet don't quite touch the ground but they are close enough that he can get out of the swing himself and he likes that. We went to the store before we purchased this to see one set up and we were quite pleased with the product. But just the picture on the web site and some of the reviews didn't properly represent what the toy is. He would have missed a lot of fun if we just went by the reviews on this web site and the pictures.

I got this toy as a gift for my 1 year olds birthday and we are taking it back.
The swing catches when it goes back so her head bangs on the plastic.
The steps to the slide are awful, she can't clamber up them and she has been walking for 3 months so she isn't just beginning. The only fun part is the telescope on the top. Save your money and buy something else!

We bought this for our 15-month old son and he loves to climb the rock wall and slide down the slide.

One complaint is that this is lightweight - my son pushes it around the room! We keep it inside because we don't know how we could anchor it outside.

Also, the swing must be uncomfortable, because my son will not sit in it.

I recommend buying the slide and rock wall combo - without the swing.

My 21 month-old got this as a first birthday gift, and he began to use it after he was 15 months old. He enjoys climbing on the platform, looking through the plastic telescope, and sliding down the colorful slide, but the swing is no bigger than an infant swing you'd place a 3 month-old in. My son much prefers the swing set at our neighborhood playground to this pathetic little excuse for a swing.
Assembly was easy, albeit long, and it is durable enough to be dragged around my backyard and has weathered a few months outdoors in extreme temperatures.

I just bought this for my 13 month old son and he has so much fun on it. Its the perfect size so, if he were to fall it wouldnt hurt. He loves climbing the rock wall to get to the slide. The only complaint i have about this is, the box said 20 minutes to put together and it took me about an hour. I would recommend at least 2 people to build this. Over all this was a great buy.

This being my son's first gym set, is perfect for him. He loves both the slide and the swing and its perfectly mobile both as an outside play set or inside. i would recommend this to anyone looking for their first gym, which is both fun and functionally safe !!

My son got this as a gift, & it is everything you'd expect from a Little Tikes toy - durable & fairly easy to assemble. I do recommend, however, that you IGNORE the age requirements. Little Tikes says it goes up to 4 yrs, Amazon says 6 yrs.... My son was 3 ft tall at 2 years old, & was too big for this toy. His legs hit the bottom of the slide before he does, & he was never able to go on the swing. We had a 1 year old fit perfectly on it. This is an excellent first yard toy, but don't buy it if your child is 2 or older.

My husband and I just purchased this set for our 18-month-old and he absolutely loves it! He has had no difficulty climbing the "rock wall" - in fact, we had trouble keeping him off it while we were putting the set together. My son is tall for his age and he fits in the swing fine. Altogether, this is a great set for the investment.
