Little Tikes Reviews

My husband and I got this toy for our 2 year old son. He loves it. He has mastered the climbing walls, and loves the slide. We have a small backyard, and this fits perfectly. Plus, it is not very heavy, so my husband can move it when he wants to mow the lawn. We have also found that underneath the big slide makes a great spot for storing outside toys. If your children love to climb and slide, then this is the toy for them.

We bought this for our 2 year old little boy and he absolutely loves it. He really likes the tunnel and tall slide. He also likes to pretend with the steering wheel. My husband was more than a little frustrated at times while assembling it but after it was all said and done he was happy to see that our little guy loves it. We also got a free sand box which our son also enjoys.

I have always liked Little Tykes stuff anyway, and this slide is definitely no exception in quality, durability and enjoyability!!! I have 22 month old twin boys and they love it. They love the slide, the tunnel, the little footholds on either side to climb up and down, and they also love to jump up and down together holding onto the rails on the top! The steering wheel is also fun. They roll all their cars down both slides, even their huge cars (another plus about this slide is that it's wide!!!!) and the long slide is super fast. It's great. Well worth the money. We've only had this thing for a month now, but I think they'll play with this for years.

This toy is cute and well priced...but it is not for children under 2!!! We purchased the slide today at toys-r-us. On the sticker is says 1 1/2 to 4 years old. My daughter is 18 months and within the first 10 mins she fell off the top of the slide! There is NO room for her to sit down. She has played on other small slides at friends homes with no problems, this slide is to steep and needs some major improvements!!

I bought this slide for the little one I babysit a few months back. At the time he was only 23 months old but he loved it from the moment he saw it and plays on it daily. We used it inside for about a month then took it outside. The only problem we came across was when we took it outside he had sneakers on and the handles on the sides weren't high enough for him to hold on to while he was trying to get his feet pulled up to sit down and his sneaker got stuck and he fell backwards. He was fine, got up and tried again. He only fell that once and managed to figure out a way to get into a sitting position without his sneakers getting stuck. We also use this slide in his kiddie pool and he spends hours climbing up and sliding down into the water. All and all it's a great slide for inside or outside.

My daughter is just over 2 and is obsessed with this slide. She has had it for over a year and has never tired of it. We have never had a problem with the durability, size or safety of this product as others have stated. If you have an active child that likes to climb, I HIGHLY recommend it!

My son received this as a gift for his 2nd birthday last summer. After getting the ball inflated and adding sand to the base we put him on the toy. He could not touch the ground so there was no whirling or bouncing last year. We decided to pull it out from the corner of the garage and give it another shot this year since he will be 3 this summer and has grown quite a bit. Nope...he still doesn't touch so there is no whirling or bouncing again this year. I decided to give it a try and I am 125lbs. I could barely get it to bounce and whirling takes quite a bit of effort as well. This toy is going back into the garage until I get sick of looking at it then off to the dumpster it goes.

I agree with the other reviewers...I thought this toy would be great for my son to play with outdoors. WRONG! The ball doesn't even get close to the ground for it to bounce. My son has no interest in it...money wasted!

Like most people, I thought, "Wow! Looks like a great toy." Wrong! I found this at a thrift store for $15.00 and in my opinion, it was $15.00 wasted. It doesn't really bounce, doesn't swivel, and sits in my backyard collecting bird droppings. I called Little Tikes to tell them how bad this toy is and the customer service lady said that noone ever complains about it, which I find hard to believe. She said that it is suppose to be a strength building toy. Now, I ask of anyone out there who bought this toy, did you buy it to build your child's strength or because you thought they'd have fun on it? She also said to try cooking oil on the base to help it swivel. I have a better idea. I'll save my cooking oil and throw this "toy" in the trash. Ugggh!!!

I was just about to purchase this since it said it was award winning, when I decided to check the reviews! Thank God I did! More than one review that says it cuts the childrens heels is enough for me!!! To the lady who says the mothers of these children are crazy???? Maybe if it happened to your child you'd feel differently! Have some compassion! Maybe your child doesn't ride it as forcefully as the others! Any area sharp enough to slice through skin should be a major concern on any toy!

My 20m old son is a stunt man by nature and upon receiving this bike for his first birthday he was instantly compelled to stand on the seat with both feet! He loves this bike but the problem is after only 3 months one of the handle bars broke off due to all of his stunts. Aside from that he thought it was great fun to switch on the "motor" (confetti) and take off all over the house. Also wonderful that there's only one wheel in the back so as not to catch his shoes or feet on the wheel wells. Probably a great bike for the average child!

My 20 month old daughter received this as a Christmas gift this past Christmas (December 2005). She has thoroughly loved riding around the house on this toy and espeically loves watching the glitter and shapes spin around when the toy is moving. We have even had it outside on our driveway and sidewalk which is sloped and haven't had a problem with it trying to turn over with her. I too have no idea how either of these other children have sliced their feet open as the plastic on this toy is rounded at the edges. I would recommend this toy to any child in the correct age group, and I'm a protective mother... :)

My son has just starting playing with this at six months and seems to really like it. We lay the box on the floor in front of him, place the pieces into their proper spot, hand him the hammer and let him bang away. With each piece that falls through music and lights are triggered. He watches in amazement every time.
I love that this toy is interactive and teaches cause and effect. All the pieces pack up neatly into the tool box for easy carrying and storage.
The reason I only gave 3 stars for fun is because the pieces don't fit into their appropriate spots well. Each space is fitted with a button that causes the lights and sounds and that button can cause the pieces to lay sideways making it hard for baby to pound them through. If they could fix that, this toy would get perfect ratings from me.

My son started playing with this toy at seven months old and really loves it. I had to help put the shapes into their places but he understood right away to push the shapes through to make a noise and can easily move the inside piece back and forth. Like any toy with pieces I often have to search for the scattered blocks and put them back in. I also use this toy when traveling and add other bloks to the case. He loves to open and close the case and dump all the blocks.

I will note that my son is a large boy and is fairly strong for his age. He didn't have any problem lifting or handling the case at all.

I have 3 boys ages 4.5, 3 and 1 - all of them play with this toy. I like that all the pieces can be stored inside the tool box. The button inside where you place the shapes is great, because with younger kids you can get the shape started and the button holds it until the child pushes it through. My 1 year old loves the lights and the sound isn't annoying for parents :)

My daughter received this wagon as a gift and absolutely loves it, however, she was fast asleep when I assembled the monster! The directions were awful and I was so frustrated at the end of the process that I almost returned it! The front two wheels do not move simultaneously when pulled and often go in two different directions. I emailed the company with questions as to how this might be fixed and they have not responded. I pull her in it and she loves to ride and climb in and out of it. From a little person perspective, its the cats meow...from the more discerning adult perspective, I wouldn't buy it again.

My son got this wagon for his first birthday. He will be 7 soon and we still have it and use it. I also have a 2 year old and he loves to ride in it. It has never tipped over. The only thing I don't like on mine is how the wheels are wobbly. They started doing this after about a year. They don't look like they are going to fall off or anything, they are just really loud when you pull the wagon. I like how the sides come off too. We have used it at the parade and just take one side off and the kids hang their feet over and use it as a chair.

We were looking for a wagon for our kids to play with together NOT for us to use very often to transport them around. This wagon is perfect for the kids. My kids ages 6, 4, and 2 have a blast pulling eachother around the backyard. The wagon has never tipped even when they ram it into a wall. It does not tip when they get in and out either. The wheels stay still as they climb in and out but it seems to pull easily for them. My 2 year old can even pull my 4 year old in it. The back and sides are a great height to not worry about them falling out backwards or sideways if they keep their bottoms down in it and it is so much fun when being pulled, they are usually giggling until it stops rather than thinking about standing up. The side rails may be removed easily and put back easily but they don't fall out on their own. I guess it is a bit easier to climb in with the rail off but my kids don't mind climbing over and never remove the rails...even the 2 year old climbs over fine although she is a climber. I have fit all three children in this for a short pull and it is very cramped with them complaining of "whose sitting on whose this or that". But two fit comfortably and would be able to be pulled around face to face for quite awhile. The wagon is also easy to maneuver. This wagon is awesome for kids to just play with and we plan on keeping it in our backyard for our grandkids. It has been 6 months out in the weather and thus far, it shows no wear. A great buy!

Yes, this toy is very affordable BUT you might break a finger trying to hammer the pieces on. Whoever designed the accessories to be installed with a hammer and a piece of wood should be fired... stickers would have been alot easier and safer.

STAY AWAY!!

I have a 1 year old little girl and a 2 year old boy and they both love the rockin puppy. The dog is so close to the ground so getting on and off the puppy is easy for those short little legs. The rockin' puppy is durable, safe and fun. I recommend it highly.

We actually have the old green horse, but it's the same concept. We got ours 4 years ago for our first daughter when she turned 1 year. She was able to get on and off by herself and just bounced on it but liked it. Within a very short time period she was rocking with her feet on the ground and overnight with her feet on the footrest area. We only put it away when she was in her late 3's because of space for other things. When our 2nd daughter turned 1 we got it back out and she loves it too. She did the bounce thing and then rocks on it daily. Several times a day she goes over to it and rocks. She did use to ride it backwards but she liked it so we didn't do anything about it and then she corrected herself on her own. My 4.5 year old still rocks on it too. And does stunts on it. It has lasted through the years and has been outside for some of the time with only a few scratches on the bottom side from concrete, but still looks and works great. Wonderful item for the price.

I plan on buying one for my niece who is turning one.

The first time I ordered this and received it, it didn't work. It was a Christmas gift for my grandaughter to match the tv I got her also. I didn't have any trouble returning it though and received a replacement right away that did work.

my 5 year old son mastered the use of this dvd player instantly. not all the extra buttons that you find on most dvd players... it is a little on the bulky side but that is not a big problem!

My son recieved this DVD player as a christmas gift and we have had no problems with it. It has played every movie that we put in it. I love being able to let him watch his very own DVD movies in his room without me having to watch Shrek and whatnot over and over again. Great product!

This "guitar" plays poor quality noise. There are no strings so your child pushes buttons that play pre-recorded non-electric-guitar "music." Volume is too loud even at the lowest setting. Why bother?

My little boy loves guitars and this one is great! He enjoys the preset beats and the percussion section. He loves the strap so he can wear it, play it and still be able to dance!

I love this gift item ,its functionality is wonderful and kids loves this toy
