Step2 Panda Climber | Outdoor Toddler Activity Playset, Tan/Red/Yellow/Blue

Well, the notorious 7 month long Michigan winter is fast approaching, and if your tot is anything like mine you absolutely without a doubt need this climber. My 17.5-month-old daughter is a little ball of energy, running, jumping and climbing on absolutely everything. After removing her from the kitchen table and catching her scaling the top of the recliner for the umpteenth time, I finally cracked and bought this climber. I researched a few other models, but ended up deciding on this one because of the curved yellow bar that snaps into the back of the climber, helping to enclose it and hopefully prevent falls. Most of the other similar climbers do not have this feature. Assembly was not bad, most of the pieces snapped together like a giant puzzle. It did take a little work to get one of the side pieces snapped into the standing platform, but keep in mind that these things are all manufactured in plastic molds, so the edges are not always going to be perfect. It popped in after some force was put forth. Like most toy instructions these days, we had to flip through several languages including Spanish, French, Dutch, Polish, Chinese, and Italian before finally finding English. It's your standard step by step list of pictures, with the parts labled A, B, C, D and so on. The screws were all included, and there were spots to screw them in, but no actual predrilled holes, so be prepared to put some muscle behind your screwdriver, or use an electric one. We currently have this in our living room, and our living room is not large by any means. My daughter loves this thing, she climbs up it and goes down the slide all day long. She likes to put her pillows and stuffed animals in the little hidey hole underneath and crawl in there with them. She has not quite gotten the concept of the ladder yet, she kind of puts her belly on the top of the platform and wiggles herself in, but I'm sure that this skill will develop with time. My daughter is small for her age, and on the very young end of the age range for, and she is the perfect size for this toy. I do not anticipate her being able to use it past the age of 3, by that time the child's feet would most likely almost be touching the floor when they sit at the top of the slide. But for 18 to 36 months, this is definitely the best climber available, and Amazon has it listed for $30.00 below the original price listed by the company. Buy it, you won't be disappointed and it will bring you some much needed sanity.

We got this for our active kiddo for his 1st birthday and WOW he loves it! A little challenging at first, but enjoyed going down the slide if we helped him up and then he would try to climb back up the slide. Now that he's 15 months he can climb up the steps and pull himself up the other side as well and loves to go down the slide all by himself. He plays underneath a little bit, but he's super tall so it's a little cramped. I can stand on the tower and go down the slide (100lbs) and it feels very stable and well made. Even though our kiddo has already "mastered" the steps and slide, he still plays on it everyday! He'll experiment sending different toys down at the same time to see which is faster, he's recently trying out new ways to go down the slide himself, on the belly backwards and head first too! Really fun and already worth it. This would be good outside or inside- it's not very large and fits well into his little playroom area. It's also lightweight so it could be moved around if necessary!

My one year old granddaughter loves this play climber. The slide size is perfect so they don’t get hurt. Fast and easy installation too!

Our one year old loves this! She still struggles sometimes in getting up the climber part, however, she has only had it a few days and is getting better each day. Once on the climber there is room for her to play on the landing and of course go down the slide which she loves. This is on the small side which is great for her now as even if she tumbles off she won't get hurt, but it will probably be too small for her before she is 3. The assembly shouldn't have been difficult but because the holes in the sides were not large enough for the landing to snap into it took a lot more work than it should have. My husband had to enlarge the holes and then it went together great. Seems to be quite sturdy, however a child that has some power could likely tip it over.

This was perfect for my little one. He climbed and played all over this climber.

Might need a string arm to help snap these in place. Which is fine because it is well Built and strong. The kids spend many hours playing on this. It has been really good for our toddler learning to climb and coordination. I highly recommend this. It’s not tiny or huge. Fits in the corner of apartment living room.

My toddler loves this climber! It’s been a lifesaver this winter and gives him a designated space to climb. He loves it and we keep it inside. It’s relatively small which is great. It’s easier to put together if you are a larger person or have 2 people. I really struggled getting the floor and 1 wall to attach together properly. The peg and hole didn’t match up at all. I used a hairdryer & body weight which helped. The last part- the piece that goes across the back- I couldn’t get to line up enough to put it together. My husband got home and was able to use his larger body weight to get the last piece in!

Perfect! Using as an indoor toy and it’s perfect for a 2-4 year old!!

This is a nice sized climber for a toddler. Easy to put together and very sturdy. The ladder steps, as opposed to staircase steps, are a little challenging for the younger ones - they have to learn how to climb them. Overall, very pleased with the product and play value.

Llegó mucho antes de lo esperado en excelentes condiciones. La verdad fue muy fácil de armar, aproximadamente en 10 minutos ya estaba listo. A mi hijo le encantó, y ha sido una maravillosa adquisición pues no ocupa un espacio exagerado en casa y resulta muy atractivo para los niños. Lo recomiendo mucho. Por cierto, cabe destacar que el precio que tienen aquí en Amazon ha sido el mejor que encontramos después de buscar en muchísimos sitios web y tiendas departamentales.

Good

Very good toy. My baby 2 years old loves it a loot. Thank you!

Great climber for our 1 year old. Husband had no problems assembling. Think it is more for the 1-3 age range.
