Step2Panda 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.

Might need a string arm to help snap these in place. Which is fine because it is wellBuilt 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.

This is a great indoor climber to get out energy. Not too big for indoor use on rainy days and winter.

Great for my 2yr olds birthday!

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 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!

My kid loves this. I decided to get this one instead of the other brands version because two small kids could be on this one and the other brand had a lot of reviews saying one kid could barely even turn around. It was very easy to put together I did it myself before my husband got home from work. And my friend has an older version of this same brand and hers is still going for their third kid and it's about 10 years old. Age wise my son is 15 months I got it when he was 13 months. It depends on your kid. My started walking at 9 months and then climbing and running shortly after. I also love that it's small enough and light weight enough to move into our spare bedroom during the winter.

Bought this for my slightly delayed toddler to have outside to play and climb, and it’s perfect! It’s easy to get up on, the slide isn’t to big or steep and he can do it on his own, and it’s teaching him how to use a ladder situation to climb and play! It’s nothing fancy, but enough to keep a toddler, and honestly my 6 year old too, busy for a while!
