Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
The instructions were very vague and it was difficult to assemble.
My grandson loves it.
Very well made.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
This was a Christmas purchase for our 1 year old. We love it! I would say that if you have wood floors you might want to look into a foam play mat or rug for indoor use.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
Great activity for cold winter days indoors.
Would be nicer to have steps to access the slide for small toddlers
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
This is a must. We got this for my son when he was 9 months old. He is now 21 months and has loved playing with it since he got it. Lots of different fun activities that keep his attention for long periods of time.

Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
My 18 month old daughter loves her climber! it's a challenge to her to get up since there is no handle, but i think she likes that! i didn't think she would be interested in the goals yet, but she does like to "swoosh" in the basketball goal...we're still working on the soccer part. highly recommend this climber for those kids wanting on tables, tubs, chairs, etc!
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
We purchased this product as a birthday gift for my 2 year old son. It's design is so creative that we are able to set it up and let him play inside as well as outside. Cons: My son loves it so much we can 't get hihm away from it! He even cuddles with it! =)
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
Purchased for 3 year old granddaughter. Loves to shoot baskets and climb up the wall to slide. Love the Little Tikes brand because of sturdiness and availability of replacement parts.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
This climber is alot of fun but, wish it had steps for the slide. We have to keep helping him onto the slide. The ladder will take a lot of getting used to. He has only had this about 2 weeks and has already fallen off the side numerous amounts of times. Seems like it's missing a safety belt or something for the side. Good toy but definitley made for 2 year olds plus.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
We got this for our 20 month old twins and their cousin. The basketball hoop is not as tall as I would like--they are as tall as the hoop. I am still having trouble putting on the soccer netting. They enjoy playing with it in our living room, and it is light enough to move around in the house as needed. I had some trouble folding it up to get through the door, but I think it's a matter of folding it up before trying to fit through the door. I plan to take it to ball games to keep the little ones entertained (we have a fence that will go around the climber). The slide is fast, so kids need to know how to slide or they will get hurt.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
Folds away easily. Nice to have sturdy climbing device for physical activity indoors.

2.5 yr. old girl loves to make baskets and slide with her ball [included with set]
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
This is a great climber. My daughter is 14 months old and got it from the Easter bunny. We can't keep her off of it. It works well inside as well as outside. The only thing that I would have liked on the climber would have been a safety bar or another wall on the platform. All sides are open and she does fall off it easily. Other than that, We love it!!
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
this is great it is in our living room. easy to put away. wish the seat was a little wider. we have dare devil for a child. but great
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
On the whole, this is a great, compact playground. We used it outside for a month or two in the fall when our toddler was learning to walk, and has been set up in our basement the past 5 months or so - great in the winter! It required a couple of us to move it easily but it folded up well. Though not particularly difficult to assemble, it was time consuming (especially screwing on the soccer net). My son (nearly 2) loves to play basketball with his big brother (10) and his friends, going down the slide, trying to climb the ladder (a little tricky, as another viewer mentioned, due to it's straight up design and closely spaced toe holes), using the platform as a table for his toys (partly due to the lack of guard rail which would be a great addition as he can fall off even when I'm supervising!), and racing his cars down the slide. He also hides things under the slide for fun. I too would like another height adjustment for the basketball net as he has mastered the maximum height already. All in all, though, it is a great idea and has served us well. I feel that close supervision is necessary however, due to the lack of guard rail. I like that it folds up compactly and is relatively easy to move. Great in our winter climate! Also just right for toddlers before they move up to a bigger playground.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
Excellent for indoor use, very nicely made, relatively easy to assemble and to fold to put away (very easy if you are handy). Two drawbacks: no guard rail on a platform - so has to be very careful with little children, stairs to the platform almost impossible to climb for a children of the smallest age it recommended. Otherwise very good.

Wonderful exerciser for our little guy!
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
Loved this product ever think of making the hoop taller not very challenging for 2 year olds. Everything else I loved, He LOVED.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
My son loves this. He had some friends over and they all played on it together! Had a great time!
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
We bought this for our daughter on her first birthday and she has played with it every day. She is now 18 months old and the product still looks brand new. It is by far my favorite toy because it gives her a chance to burn all of her energy while stuck indoors for the winter. She loves to climb and we had trouble keeping her off of furniture, etc... This does this trick and she loves climbing on it, sliding and playing basketball. It is even sturdy enough for our 5 year old to play on it with her. I would highly recommend this product for hours of fun!!!

Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
Dad likes it as much as his 13 month old!!!
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
My one year old got this for Christmas and absolutely loves it. He will play with it every day and loves the slide and also likes to hide underneath the landing part of the slide. His two older brothers will play basketball with him and he thinks that is awesome. Just wish it had a soccer ball to go with it also. This is a perfect toy for kids 1-2 years old because they will get plenty of use out of it. Even the fold up part of it once you get the hang of it is easy to put away for awhile. This is a great buy!

Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
This product is great for my boys! My 3 yr old loves the basketball hoop while my 1 yr old loves the slide. I love how easy it is to store away and takes up little space. The only issue I have with it is it came with a missing support leg for the platform to go down the slide. I found this out on Christmas Eve and called Little Tykes the day after Christmas. They did not give me any problems and said it would be shipped out to me. Well it has been almost 3 weeks and no leg yet so I hope it is still on its way!
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
Our grandson loves the slide.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
bought it for grandchildren 9 mos and 18 mos. loved it on christmas day and it is still a favorite. just the right size for little ones - put pillows around it. they feel so independent climbing and sliding. difficult assembly however.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
My granddaughter loves it. The only thing I would change are the steps. They are a little difficult to climb because they are so straight.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
Good variety of activities in a compact design. Especially good substitute when the toddlers want to climb on tables and chairs (because they can!). We put a playmat beneath it for some extra padding.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
We care for our toddler grandson three days a week. The climber is providing an outlet for indoor physical activity during this cold, snowy winter...the climber is the centerpiece of our living room!! It will be fun to use outside in the springtime.
We wish that the plateform had a safety rail of some sort around the two open sides as a tumble off, even onto a carpeted surface, could injure a little one.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
I love this climber for our small playroom--I can put it away and set it back up in just a couple of minutes. Perfect.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
My son is 18 mos. and really loves this climber. We don't have a yard, so it is great for him to play on inside and I can just fold it up and put it away in the closet when he is done. It is fairly lightweight and easy to move. He loves climbing on it, but has a little trouble pulling himself up onto it. He also loves the slide. He is not very interested in the basketball hoop and the soccer net yet. The only things I would change would maybe be a handle for him to pull himself up by and some sort of a guard or railing on the side of the platform at the top of the slide since he falls off sometimes. Other than that it is great! [...]
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
We got this for a gift for my 2 boys. the 18mo. LOVES it. the 3 yr old thinks its fun but not as excited as the baby.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
I looked for this product all over the web because of the good reviews and the ability to fold and store. My daughter has two toddlers (3 and 15 months). The youngest is an adventuresome boy that needs active play but they are not always able to go outside. This was the best gift the kids got this Christmas. The youngest could not climb up without a step stool but quickly mastered the slide. Must be used over a rug or on carpet. Tile flooring is a little dangerous.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
Don't save the assembly until the last minute. When using the large blunt screws just put them in 1/4" until all the holes line up for whatever part you're working on - then tighten. For the self tapping screws, it helps to start the hole with an awl. Also it helps to install the silver guard on the backboard and screw in the soccer net before you assemble the big pieces. The grandkids haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure they're going to love it!
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
My son reports that his 18 mos old daughter loves this in-door play area. She especially loves the slide. It is a big hit!
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
My two year loves this climber. It is designed with toddlers and young preschoolers in mind. I love it's compact design and multiple uses; climber, slide, soccer goal, basketball hoop. We use it in our basement in the winter and I planning to move it outside in the summer. I am sure it will hold up well as do all Little Tikes toys.
Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
This item has fifty hand driven screws, many of which must be driven into
depressions in the plastic, rather than holes. Some of the screws must be
driven at almost impossible angles because of things in the way. When
the cussing was over, the kids enjoyed the item very much. The fold up
to transport or store was pretty easy and effective.

Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
Thing that aren't so great about this product is the side you climb up on the little hands of a 16 month old can't grab on the side to pull him or her self up to stand and slide a handle would be nice to have something to hold on too.

It stays outside all day and all night long, never in the house. Resists sun, wind, rain thus far.

Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
This is a great product for an active toddler. We used it for our church, and had to pack it up every week. It's not easy or quick to re-assemble, but the kids love to play on it. We've had at least 30 kids use and abuse it over the last few months, and it's still holding strong!

Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
This playground is great!!! It's not too big for my 2 year old, and he spends so much time playing with it. His 3 year old cousin loves it as well. It folds up to a great size, and we can put it in our small coat closet. I would definately recommend it to any parent.

Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
My daughter loves this playground. She spends hours one it - and I don't think there is a day that goes by that she does not use it.
My only suggestion for Little Tikes is to include more balls (right now it comes with a basketball - but the playground include a soccor goal and baseball pitching area).

Comments about Little Tikes Fold Away Climber:
I purchased this for my grandson who just turned 2. I purchased Little Tikes for my girls when they were younger and loved the durability and even the resale of the products. My grandson was thrilled with his new toy AND I purchased the swing for their swing set. Now we can't get him to come indoors!
