Little Tikes Reviews

After looking at the online options, my wife went to the local Toys R Us. This one was available for the same price. It doesn't seem like the Bricks and Mortar stores carry any of the Spinmaster products. Since shipping is so expensive (~$50), we opted to buy it locally. Our daughters birthday party is in a month - we are looking forward to trying it out.

We looked at lots of different bouncers and ended up choosing this one. My daughter got it for her 4th birthday today and the kids love it. Even though it's "only" 8X8, we had 4 kids happily bouncing away all afternoon -- ages 6, 4, 3 and 2. We're very glad we chose the smaller one over the Jump N Slide. It was extremely easy to set up and put away. Definitely the hit of the party!

My 2 yr old daughter loves this because of the music and the lights. However, I think the mirror looks like a funhouse mirror, and my little tikes logo sticker was placed upside down already on the base of the vanity...that looks REAL nice! I am not 100% pleased for the $ I spent on it, but toys r us was no help in the store and I didnt have all day to search for the actual vanity i was looking for at the time. I love shopping online at amazon... the store we went to has terrible customer service.

As the previous reviewer stated, my daughter was begging for the Cinderella Vanity for Christmas. We were unable to get it since my order was cancelled and we could not find it anywhere. I found this vanity instead and I am so glad I did! I saw the Cinderella vanity at the Disney store and it was very flimsy. This vanity is sturdy just like other Little Tikes items and my 3 year old daughter loves it! She loves to sing into the microphone and I bought her a little pretend makeup set and she sits there and sings and puts on her makeup. The stool does not tip over and is great since it has storage space under the seat. It was very hard to put together since there are no predrilled holes, but it was well worth it. I hope Little Tikes comes out with an accessories set to go with the vanity. I highly recommend this toy!

My daughter just turned 2 (beg of Dec.) and she kept asking me for the Cinderella Vanity after seeing it on TV and in the store. I thought it looked pretty cheap and the price was pretty steep for the lack of quality. In the last few days before christmas I was searching online for a better vanity and I saw this one. I knew immediately this would be PERFECT for her. (She is all about putting makeup on, doing her hair and looking pretty all together, not to mention loves to sing =) I will agree with the review above. I was a little annoyed @ 2am christmas eve trying to put this together to find out there arent precut holes for all of the screws(????) but I will find a drill and drill em in. Its SO worth it. This morning (Christmas) my daughter went downstairs and had no interest in any other presents but this one! GET IT!!!

We recently purchased this playhouse, and discovered that it does not come with the peek-a-boo shutters (I don't see the shutters in the photo either although they are mentioned in the product description). Our 3year old and 18 month old both enjoy it, but I would say it is more fun for the 18 month old than my 3 year old since there is little to actually "do" inside the house. The doorbell makes fun sounds. It is very easy to put together!

Bought this toy and had a terrible time putting it together. THe manufacturer's instructions are a laugh, you need superman to assemble this one. My advice would be to stay away from this one

Bought this for my daughter for xmas. she had just turned 1. I put it together by myself (didnt' want the wife to see it untill she came down in the morning), would recommend using 2 people. As soon as I got it together I thought, my daughter will not be climbing up this for a while. Well, the next day she climbed right up the slide. I am using this inside and I have it positioned so that the ladder opening is up against the wall, so only way up is using the slide. I would say she uses it a little everyday. I did want to get a larger one...but buying in the winter, and close to xmas...selection was limited. I am not disapointed with it, will just be getting her and new brother a bigger one for grandmas house.

My kids were 2 and 1 when grandma bought this for them, so I kept it inside for a while. They had hours of fun on it. AFter about a year, it went outside where my kids still had a blast climbing and sliding and playing pirate ship. Now that my kids are 8 and 7, they basically hang out on the top of it and talk and goof around. Being outside, it got pretty grungy. I just finished power washing it and it cleaned up nicely. I would recommend that if you are planning to keep this outside, to punch a few holes near the bottom. Some how water gets in there (maybe around the steering wheel?) and doesnt come out. I should have put holes in there a long time ago when i noticed water at the bottom...it just dawned on me to get a screw driver and hammer and bang some holes in it...duh!)
Overall my kids have used this for almost six years...My daughter finally gave me permission to sell it.

This series of toys is great. They are well made and great fun, especially when combined with others from the series to make a dino construction crew! My five year old loves them!!

We bought this one for my daughter for a therapy toy to help here with climbing. She is a tiny 21 months she loves the blue climbing part but is scared to stand once she gets to the top and scoots around on the platform, which scares me cause there is nothing on the side to stop herfrom falling off! The big problem I just discovered was the platform gets VERY HOT in the middle of the afternoon at only about 82 degrees outside, she climbed on it and started screaming cause it was so hot! Although the play area under the platform has been a thrill for my kids all 4 of them fit in comfy! But I think we are trading it in for something else!

My parents bought this for my son's first birthday because he loves the slide and there isn't a slide at our local playground. He's too young to climb around on it, but LOVES to go down the slide. My best friend and I (2 girls in our 20s) put it together in less than an hour. The only bad part was putting the slide in...I wish the directions stated how to set it before you twist. We had it too low and it wouldn't go, but once we figured that out, it was a snap. Both of us played on it and sat on it (mostly while trying to put the slide on), but also when passing my son back and forth to slide. This is so strong it holds adults and is so cool. I'm so glad he has something that will last for years!!

I bought this climber for my almost 3-year old son last weekend. He's very active and loves to climb on structures and go down slides, but I wanted something that was less than five feet tall to avoid dangerous spills. After looking at several climbers online and reviewing customer feedback, I purchased the climber from our local Toys R Us store. The parts fit fine in my small SUV once removed from the box (thanks to all the previous customers who suggested that!). Once home, I found it incredibly simple to assemble and it only took me about 45 minutes from start to play time. That included several pauses where I had to remind my little "assistant" that it wasn't quite ready to play on yet! The only part where I really needed an extra set of hands was when sliding the rock wall pieces into the side walls and keeping it all together while twisting in the oversized plastic screws that hold those pieces in place. I am very pleased with the product and more importantly, my son loves it. It was exactly what we were looking for in a climber - sturdy, affordable, weather-resistant, and easy to assemble.

The remote on this car has nice big buttons that are easy for my two year old to use. One button makes the car go forward and one turns it around. The third just makes reving engine & squealing tire sounds. Not very realistic but convincing enough for a toddler. This car has been tossed around and dropped yet still looks and works great. It is a very durable toy that is simple to use. It is a great first remote control car.

I bought the camera for my 7 year old son for Christmas. From the first roll of film it was trouble. The button is hard to push and the film does not advance well. After much work we rolled the film up and developed it. The pictures were okay for a $14.99 camera. The second roll never has advanced and we have finally given up on it. I contacted Little Tikes and they do not actually make the camera, it is contracted out to another company. Needless to say my son is disappointed.

Although supposedly for young children, this camera makes taking pictures difficult even for adults. The shutter button is hard to press, the flash switch is tiny and difficult to move to the on or off positions, and the casing opening lever is small and difficult to move too.

A properly designed camera for young children will have large and EASY TO PRESS buttons and switches.

On the whole, this was a Christmas gift that might as well have been a lump of coal.

I purchased this toy for my son for Christmas. What a disappointment!! First of all, I could not get the film loaded. Once I got it loaded, it would not take pictures! I really wish I saw the other reviews before I bought it. Since it was purchased on line and the package is destroyed from opening it, I won't be able to return it. What a shame, Little Tikes usually makes such good toys!
