We bought this set for our 16 month old daughter. She is a climber and loves to swing. The slides are perfect for her, she can climb up on the smaller platform by herself and slide down without any help. She loves the bridge and the pretend steering wheel. Putting it together was not too hard but you do need an electirc drill/screwdriver and it will take a few hours. A great buy!!!!!

I purchased this item for my son for his 1st birthday. My husband and a friend put it together in about 2 hours and didn't seem to have any difficulty with it. We purchased two infant swings and replaced the big kid ones that came with this item as most of our friends have infants or toddlers so it seemed to make sense to have 2 infant swings available. My son was not much of a climber at 12 months old but did love the swings. He appeared to be afraid to slide down the slides as well. He is now 16 months old and is an expert climber lol. He loves to climb on his gym set and slides down his slides over and over and over again. He plays on this set often and can climb and slide independently now of course with mommy close by. This item is very sturdy and appears to be a perfect fit for him at his age. We looked into the more expensive wooden sets but they all seemed to be a bit too big for him at such a young age. I can see him getting plenty of use out of this item until he is about 6 years old at which time we plan on upgrading to a larger wooden set. It seemed to make sense to buy this as a beginner set because anything larger would be difficult for him to get as much use out of until he was a bit older. As with most larger items I recommend that you purchase it at your local toys r us or target because shipping on this item is very expensive. Buy this item in the store, save the money on shipping and use it to buy your infant attachment swings instead :0)

We bought this for our son when he was 2 years old and now he's 5 and won't use any other swing set. I thought he would like a wooden one that was bigger, but he gets so much enjoyment from this one and it's durable, was easy to assemble (even for my husband) and he gets hours of enjoyment from it. We did anchor it into the ground because I was afraid it would tip over as he got older, but it works just fine and we're all happy, even mom!
