Little Tikes Reviews

My daughter received this when she was 16 months old. At first she had trouble climbing the rock steps (it would be nice if they stuck out a bit further for better footing).

And even though she loves to swing at the park, she's never cared for this swing. It is pretty much impossible to put her in it without pushing the swing back and up, and it is very difficult to buckle her in before she just slides forward and off the swing. And the few times I have successfully gotten her in the swing, it isn't much of a thrill for her cause it doesn't swing back hardly at all. I basically have to just keep pulling the swing forward for her. She mostly uses the swing just to give her dolls rides on it.

Now, at 21 months, she does love the slide and the captain's wheel. She seems to feel pretty proud while she stands up on the deck, and even prouder when she sits down and goes down the slide all on her own. But as she gets taller the slide is quickly becoming less thrilling to her.

This is a very strong and sturdy toy, and it is small enough we kept it in my daughter's bedroom during the winter months. I would recommend just buying the slide, which you can buy seperate from the swing, and to buy it early so you can get the most use out of it.

We purchased this toy for my son's first birthday because he loves to swing and slide. The other reviews are right as far as the swing goes. It barely swings and is low to the ground. It is good for a smaller child, just be sure to get it early enough to get some use out of it.
The slide is great for a small child, it is fun and not too scarry. At one my son could not climb the rock wall to go down the slide by himself, I would have to assist him, now at 18 months he has no problems.
It seems to be durable and well made. I keep ours outside in Florida and it has not begun to fade or crack like a few of his other plastic toys. Overall I give it 4 stars because of the swing. In our case, we would have been better off with just the slide and a totally separate swing.

I bought this for my 8 month old son because he loves to swing, and all of our trees are too small to hold an infant swing. It is the perfect size for him, and he should be able to enjoy it all summer. Hopefully we will get some use next summer also. He is too small for the slide now, but it seems to be great for beginners. I will admit that it is too small for 3-4 year olds. The assembly was fairly easy. I did it by myself in an hour. Overall, it is great for my intended purpose.

I expected more of this product. Assembly to be done should have and could have already been done by manufacturer. The clip for the paper is terrible - there should be two. The paper falls to easy. The side bars are too easy for the kids to lift.

I purchased this for my two year old twin nieces. It was almost perfect, it only had a clamp to hold drawing paper on one side so I took a clamp from a clipboard and installed it on the other side. The children love it.

I bought this for my great-niece's 2nd birthday (it was on her Amazon list). She loves this easel. She uses her chalk on one side, her markers on the other (she fancies herself quite the artist). And it is fairly light and easy to move from room to room if needed. I highly recommend this easel.

very durable. my son uses it for a step stool more than he plays it. we had to remove the sticks cause the string was too short.
but it has been good for a little fun for my son. 25$ is a little high.

He is 8 months old and I put away the sticks because I am afraid he will poke his eyes out with it, plus he still does not have the coordination to use them. He likes to bang on the keys to make lots and lots of noise. So far it is quite durable and light enough for my son to pick it up, flip it, and bang on the bottom of it. I do not know about other parents but I still think that the sticks are a hazard if they have it near their nose, mouth or eyes and trip or fall over. I wouldn't chance it but then again maybe I am over sensitive. I got it for cheap, 19.95 shipped and buy one get one free. One for my son and one for his cousin. Good bargain, great toy (one of his favorites now)and I feel pretty good about purchasing it with the exception of the sticks, although he likes to bang on the xylophone with his hard plastic balls.

This is one of her favorite toys that she received for her birthday. She will dance to the background music non-stop.

My daughter loves this car. However, my husband felt that the instructions needed words as well as pictures. He didn't get it together as easily as we thought he would. But, it's worth it to see her happily riding!

We bought this even after reading reviews of the difficult assembly. Solution is - don't follow the manufacturer's instructions!! The instructions tell you to assemble the large vertical yellow pieces to the top and then push all four yellow connections into the bottom of the coupe. It works much more easily if you assemble the verticals to the body and then assemble the top to the verticals. The whole thing goes together much more easily - just a few taps with a wooden mallet. The steering wheel ring is a pain.
The Coupe, once assembled, is a fantastic rider - can't be beat. Our grandson loves it.

My cousin had this toy for the children at a family barbeque. Once my 2-year-old spotted the car, he wouldn't leave it alone! He loved steering, moving around, but it seemed his most favorite thing to do was to opening and closing the door and getting in and out.

I would like to warn parents - Good luck getting your child away from the thing! My son even hesitated to stop playing with it for lunch - and that NEVER happens as he loves his lunchtime! :o)

My (...) daughter received this kitchen for Christmas. It was really easy to put together, however the refrigerator door won't stay closed and the dishwasher, oven and microwave are hard for an adult to open and almost impossible for a toddler(...). The quality of Little Tikes isn't what it used to be.

I disagree with some of the previous comments that the doors of the dishwasher, oven and fridge are difficult to open. The unit I received has no issue at all. I must warn that to assemble most of the pieces, pre-drilled holes aren't provided. A lot of elbow grease is needed to complete it without a power drill.

Also, my bag of accessories was missing the cordless phone and coffee pot pieces, so I had to call customer service immediately. For now, I have to convince my son that the ear of corn is the phone.

Well at first I had a hard time putting this together. But it was worth it after seeing my daughters eyes and smile. I have to say out of all her toys I ever brought her this one gets an standing ovation.

I purchased this car for my godson and so far he loves it! It was easy to assemble!

This toy is so great! My son got it for his first birthday and the only thing I would change is to have them make it earlier so my 2 older kids could have had it too!!! He LOVES to drive this car and I love to push it! The seat is level with the detachable floorboard, so no more babies slipping off the seat. There is so much leg room that even my 4 year old can stretch out her legs in it with the floorboard in and I can still push her easily. Goes good on any surface, even grass. My 7 months old niece cried when she had to get out of this car! Great for all ages! Just be prepared to bring it inside because they'll love it so much!

Bought this for our 13 month old son, he loves it! I researched alot for the perfect ride-on and think that I've found it. He wants to ride it every day whereever we go (not so good during the morning rush). It's very durable and extremely light to manuveur, even around corners. I find not so loud as others complained. The only thing of course is a lack of seatbelt, but we don't move the car unless he's sitting in it. If he becomes really persistant about getting out, it's because he wants to push it from behind. I wish the handle lowered to his size, but he holds on at the bottom. Smooth over concrete and grass. He loves the buttons and the shade is practical. I paid the extra $10 and had TRU build it for me. It fits fine in my Jeep Liberty without having to take off the handle. Everytime we're at the playground, kids want to ride, even 3 and 4 year olds. I can even put my son in the back (wouldn't recommend for all the time or at top pushing speed), but it can be done. Our second child will be able to ride on it also. Great toy.

I original bought this for an extra B-Day present to have. It was on sale for $5 with free shipping. When I received it I had to try it out. I have 2 boys 4 and 6 and they love it. My older one loves the adding/subtracting problems. What a fun way to learn by stepping on the mat to hear the silly sound if you are correct. My younger one is learning how to identify his letters and numbers. They play with it for hours on end. I wish I had bought more for that price.

I thought this would be GREAT fun for my daughter; however, it was broken staight out of the box... There was a hole in the front NO patch kit to be found, and it was small. Another problem was it was such thin plastic, we live in 120 degree weather for summer, and it became very thin while we blew it up already. I would not buy this again!

I bought this pool slide for my 4 year old son, which he enjoys very much, but you have to keep filling up the bottom part of the slide. Everytime he slides down and splashes water, the water spills out from the sides. I had to keep the water hose in the slide for him to enjoy it.

Had read unfavorable reviews for this product before I purchased it, but took a chance on it because it looked like the kids would have a great time. Have the product for over a month now and no major problems to date. Every other day I may need to add a little air to it, but no unexpected deflation problems or holes (I do use a ground cloth under the product). My two little ones just love it (ages 2 & 4) and they are pretty rough on it. Overall I would say it's a pretty decent splash pool for little ones. It holds about 6- 8 inches, maybe a bit more, water in the pool end (I think it would have been better with more water), but like I said, the kids love it. take a chance and you may find quite an entertaining splash pool for your little ones as well.
